No Name inspelat från radioprogrammet "Bandet går" nån gång 1978-79

YouTube via Drummelskrudd
"Spelades in med en MiniKorg 700s, ett Dynachord bandeko och en Akai rullbandspelare med sound-on-sound-funktion.
Jämför gärna med den nyare inspelningen som jag lagt upp här tidigare."

Translation via Mr. Longhair in the comments:
"Recorded with a MiniKorg 700s, a Dynachord tape-echo and an AKAI tape deck with a sound-on-sound function. Be my guest to compare with the newer recording I uploaded earlier."

Signal Generation Sequences

"This purely electronic original atonal composition was created without the use of any kind of synthesizer or musical generator. The combinational signal sources were recorded from the Adobe Audition signal generator function to generate fundamental sine, triangle or square waveforms and their associated harmonics as chosen from the software. Various waveforms were recorded with different initial and final frequencies and modulation attributes. Some waveforms had period rests inserted to create short frequency bursts, with some frequency segments being pitch-shifted to create pseudo-arpeggiated patterns. These sequences were processed with light chorus, flanging or reverb. A small number of waveforms were generated using the DTMF signal function - similar pulses (but modified) to digital dial tone telephone signals. Three first-order sequences were mixed. The first sequence incorporated many spliced segments sequenced by the aid of a light rhythm pattern created on the Hammerhead Rhythm Station. The second sequence included several spliced patterns but without the rhythm track. The last sequence was a complex ring-modulated cascade of rising and falling sine waves added to further ring-modulated sine waves. A simple arpeggiated chordal pattern functions to conclude the work. These three first order sequences were mixed with overlap edits and re-mixed and equalised at specific regions along the timeline to emphasize particular frequencies. The result is an abstract, dark and atonal electronic composition reminiscent of the style and execution explored by some of the early electronic music pioneers who used signal generators and magnetic tape recorders to splice together complete compositions without the use of a keyboard or other music interface. The visuals are a mixture of video imagery combined with oscilloscopic modulations performed by the Adobe Premier WaveWarp function and utilizing second-order modulation processing and colour manipulation."

My Roland Vocoder's "Prologue" Recitals

YouTube via VoiceEncoder

"My Roland Vocoder's "Prologue" Recitals. This is a Roland SVC-350 Vocoder, what ELO used was a Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus MkI...so therefore it won't sound the same."

Peace Around You - Doepfer A100 / Kaoss Pad 3

YouTube via beckhusen
"The video is a little bit out of sync, sorry for this, but after the 3rd render it's enough ;)
The record is live, i only included 2 audio samples at the beginning and at the end. If possible watch in HD with headphones.
The video is taken with my new Sony H20."

"Psychedelic sound. All sounds were created by a Microkorg Synthesizer/Vocoder except for drums."

Access Virus TI in Action

YouTube via BlackFragment
"Access Virus TI in Action!

The VIRUS TI Synthesizer by the german manufacturer "Access Music" is one of the most powerful virtual analouge synthesizers all over the world. Depeche Mode, Erasure or Celine Dion and many, many other well known musicians are using this instrument build by the devil himself =)"
