Annunaki


YouTube via davidryle
"A live take. Trance induced polyrhythmic ambient piece. It reminded me of something old - hence the name. The Watchers from the Sky. The Annunaki are the ones of Heaven and Earth in the Sumerian lore.

The synthesizer is an Arrick modular.

The delays are a Lexicon MX200 and a T.C.Elecronic D-TWO.

Six oscillators are used. Two are tone generators and four are modifiers. I also used a noise source for the random sample & hold to an instrument interface which generated odd accent timings for the noise source through a Cyndustries Quad Low Pass Gate.

The moving line is the sequencer run through a Suit & Tie Guy Soundlabs Sea Devils diode ladder Filter module.

The monotone drone is through an Arrick Q150 Transistor Ladder Low Pass Filter. The drone timing was designed by using two low frequency oscillators' pulse waveforms into a Ring modulator (balanced modulator). The syncopated output was sent to an envelope generator that fired the amplifier and filter.

The resonant octave-sweeping sound is a manually modified FM oscillator tone fed through an Arrick Q107 State Variable Filter in band-pass mode.

No attempt was made to synchronize the various oscillators and sequencers. This gave me a polyrhythmic feel that seemed organic.

A Pan/Fade module sweeps the sounds in stereo for a dimensional effect."

"Electronically Modified Didgeridoo Kyle Evans

I created this instrument to experiment in the combination of the organic sound qualities of a didgeridoo with the advanced signal processing capabilities of modern computer programming and sound synthesis. This custom built didgeridoo features externally mounted modules that allow the performer to process and manipulate the sound of the instrument in real time. All control data is transmitted wirelessly via blue tooth and is controlling several audio processes created in a custom-built software environment. If you have any questions about the instrument please feel free to ask.

Touch DJ : 7 weeks "in review"


YouTube via AmidioInc
"Touch DJ was supposed to be one of our best apps. We never thought there would be any obstacles on it's way to the AppStore. However it has now hit the insane 7 week review mark, and there are no clear signs that it might get approved at all. Lack of communication from the Apple side makes it even worse. We have absolutely no idea about what is going on and why the app is kept unapproved. We have to suspend the work on all new iPhone apps for now. Sorry everyone who was waiting for this app, - we tried our best. http:/amidio.com"

"Again I have used the swichboard-drum-machine to supply the rhytm. This time I focus a little more on the arpeggiator part of it - it is in the other box with the same size."

"HJ8 Hampshire Jam 8 at Liphook, UK on 31st October 2009

A short montage of mostly Air Sculpture and then the last clip is Radio Massacre International.

Dot Com modular synth action!"

Anyone ID the other gear? I see Doepfer for sure. The blue on the right could be a Sequentix P3 sequencer. The white on the left could be Modcan or DIY.
