Solvent improv#3: techno acid slop x0xb0x + Modcan Super Delay 30a + 808

"Solvent Improv #3 - This will be the last video with this Modcan/808/x0x setup.

OK so here is a techno/acid improv. Pretty sloppy and boring in several sections, I know... But I uploaded it because I think there are a few really cool sections in here too. It often sounds very busy, like there's a lot going on, but this is really just an 808, x0xb0x, Mbase Kick, and processing via 2 Modcan modules --- the Frequency Shifter, and the SuperDelay. All of those intricate (or sloppy, depending on the section), rubbery bass sounds are coming from the x0xb0x into the Super Delay module, with it's delay time CV-in being modulated by the Modcan sequencer (clocked via 808 trigger). The result sometimes reminds me of Soul Oddity or some of the early Schemetic 12"s (wonder how many people will recognize that obscure reference!?). Anyway, this Super Delay module was inducing some severe gear lust, so I'm almost relieved that they're discontinued - because I definitely cannot afford one.

Those familiar with my music will know that this is not the kind of music that I release. With a few exceptions, I really don't even like techno, so I don't know why I've been cranking out so much stuff like this lately. So far it's just for fun.., we'll see... But this is definitely *not* the kind of material you can expect from my upcoming album (coming out May 2010 on Ghostly).

The Muscle Contaminater Circuit Bent Synth by Mr.Ugly

via this auction
"I found this guy in the alley near my house, thinking that I could pull it apart and reuse the case, or maybe the pots, however, when I got home I was pleasantly surprised to find out that actually still powered up! Moments later I found that each one of the 12 outputs gave me controllable oscillations.
Each output gives the same pitch and rate controllable oscillation, however, each one can also be filtered with the knob just above the output. And, there's a master filter/volume knob, too. Runs on a 9v positive tipped adapter.
Of course, not being one to let a perfectly good electronic instrument just sit there innocently being what it should be, I added more knobs and switches that make it squeak and grind. I don't suggest using this for it's original, medical intentions anymore. I think it was meant to control muscle contractions. If you used it now, your muscles might balloon up until you look like a freakish hulk. Like one of those guys that looks like a pile of grapes."

I found this weir medical device in an alley and circuit bent it. I would really do something like this, but IT'S A MEDICAL DEVICE! I MEAN: WTF!? Of course I had to mess it up. It's got 12 outputs!
