Happy New Year for all synth maniacs :)

bassline: Oberheim OB-X 8-Voice (1979), only one of the eight OB-X voices is sequenced over CV/Gate by the MFB Step 64 step sequencer. This one voice is similar to the OB-1 monophonic synth.

"Ambient Jam, done over holiday break by "The Brothers K". This reminds me of the sound of one of my favorite bands (who are also brothers) "Boards of Canada", particularly off their album "The Campfire Headphase" which blends traditional folk / rock sounds in with the electronic loop sphere.

Franck Smith solo performance @ STEIM, Amsterdam (2009)

"Franck Smith solo performance at STEIM, Amsterdam, December 17th, during "Patterns & pleasure" event — mixing adapted turntable drumming and scratching technics on Handsonic HPD-15 w/ video-game esthetic and real-time electronic beat-making (No loops and no sequencer used here) IF POSSIBLE USE HEADPHONES WHEN VIEWING VIDEO MATERIAL OR CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER TO A QUITE DECENT SOUND SYSTEM.

Rehearsals for Franck Smith @ STEIM's "Patterns & pleasure" event (2009)


The STEIM@40! was a celebration of STEIMs 40 year history through a diverse program of events. We would like to conclude this series by looking into new themes.

"Patterns & pleasure" — From once being an act of banging on things, rhythm has evolved into something that you carefully program through sequencer based instruments. Groove becomes an interesting space where complexity and intuition intersect. So how can we imagine new tools and ways to perform this new groove? How can we bang, sculpt and structure in real-time?
........................................

N.B. The routines obtained here were partly inspired -- in their content and esthetic -- by turntablists Qbert and D-styles . Although nothing can rival real vinyl manipulation by experts, a personal adaptation of these techniques on Handsonic makes imagine new ways in real time electronics.

Material used in this video:
- Handsonic (Roland HPD 15)
- Moog Bass Murf (MF-105b)
- Lo-Fi (LF7)
