Commercial sessions 2 Optigan track heard through 1 prism

YouTube via RothHandle

"Today was a short but rather effective day...We finished the Optigan ideas from yesterday..added some gran cassa, mellotron cuymbals and of course the schiedmayer celeste...In an attempt to document the occasion I made this short prism drenched film...

Thanks for watching,

M-Z3R0 - circuit bent - HELLRUNNER - kawasaki delay synth

YouTube via manufacturedZ3R0. Drones get good at the :50 mark on. circuit bent on Ebay
"Similar to my older kawasaki keys with extreme pitch, distortion and additional atari punk console. But now fitted with a pt2399 delay circuit. This vid shows the kind of atmospheres and drone you can make with the delay. The delay is set to be able to sweep to much longer intervals that it was meant for which has the bonus of causing the signal to degenerate into harsh glitching. By holding the notes on the keyboard and tweaking the delays feedback and time some huge sounds can be made. On top of this the APC can be faded in and out of them mix for some interesting effects. Ten minutes of it here with a quick demo of the extreme pitch on the drums at the start. This is a very good source of material for experimental genres, noise and drone........

Thanks to wrongbot for the pt2399 layout. Check the end of the vid for contact details."

Octavian Keyboard Calculator Now with Sound

via bitnotic

"We just wrapped up our first update to Octavian. The main feature is the one that almost everyone requested, which is sound. We went to our favorite studio, SuperDigital, in Portland, OR and sampled their Kawai baby grand. We hand-tweaked each note to give it just enough body and a little hammer action, and put in some slick mixing to play back eight note chords without wrecking your iPhone or iPod touch speakers."

Trommelmaschine Mk. 1 - Mechanical drum machine


"A working prototype for a large scale sculpture, which will use petrol engines, crankshafts and pistons to play percussion.

This prototype machine uses DC motors to drive Lego Technic crankshafts and pistons which strike piezo transducers to trigger drum sounds from a drum machine circuit board. There are no Lego kits or anything involved in this, it is all hand built.

Thanks to elastic band drive belts this machine works sporadically, as you can see in the video, but it proves the theory, allowing me to move on to developing the large scale 'Trommelmaschine'."
