Resolving Ambient Sequences

YouTube via JeffreyPlaide
" Resolving Ambient Sequences is an original work using the analogue-modelled modulations and selected sequences created entirely on the Korg R3 synthesizer. The work uses a simple base sequence with layered ethereal pads and arpeggios to create an atmospheric and surreal listening experience. A base ambient sequence recorded at 114 bpm tempo reference creates the foundational rhythm using a noise-variant timbre coupled with a filtered sinewave and recurring spangle-like sequence. Made up of a delay-swamped tone with higher-frequency arpeggios fading in and out, this sequence was recorded in real-time, with adjustments made as recorded. The next track was recorded as a separate stereo mixdown and consists of three separate softened Korg R3 sequences blending in and out during the mix. Ethereal string pads interact with ringing tones and resonant sinewave electronic convolutions with smooth pitch transitions. During the middle of the work a bell-like sequence plays, but this sequence has been slowed down by the Adobe Audition software to 100%, and fades out with a smooth envelope. After this, an arpeggiated sequence plays at 114 bpm with very short decay times and with stereo pan delay. The background of this sequence also contains a minor etheral melody line created as part of the patch on the Korg R3. The final touch is provided by filtered and modulated white noise fading in and out bringing about an additional atmospherics and panned manually as part of the final mix. The result is a very enveloping and atmospheric ambient composition using various arpeggiated sequences with heavy reverb and stereo delay effects with white noise making the work surreal and meditative. The visuals used represent pure video synthesis. Electronic modulations and animated fluid transformations were created using the Adobe Premier Wave Warp function, with several orders of modulation and colour modification being applied. Each animated sequence is connected with very long dissolves and superimposed over this background is a fluid light wave created from the "bubble" sequence used in the background itself. The result is an organic and surreal kaleidoscope of modulating light sources and soft-focus geometrics. "

State Shirt - Crush - Music Video stop motion animation

YouTube via stateshirt. some synth spotting.

"I just wrote this song last week for SongFight and wanted to create a music video for it in 7 days. The budget was $0. The shopping cart was left on my street and the paper was from old fashion and art magazines. The stop motion animation was time consuming but so much fun! Thanks to Angela Heine for shooting the shopping cart footage and for pushing me around for an hour.

You can buy the mp3 at http://stateshirt.com. thanks for the support."

Not the best shots, but you don't see these often. Anyone know where to get a larger shot of the scan below? The Ionic Performer was a clone of the EMS Synthi. Click on the label below for prior posts. Via the listing: "According to Internet, this is a rare item, with only a hundred or so produced in the early 1970's."
