285e Drone II

intro on this one was reminiscent of 2001 A Space Odyssey

"Further tweaking on the same patch. This time the 285e also plays the high octave notes."

Buchla 285e Demo

"Both halves of the the 285e balanced modulator are cross modulated into each other., and it is the sole sound source in the first half of the video. In the second half of the video, the 259e is added and modulation of the memory scanning capability is demonstrated."

We Don't Need No Syncing Bad Jams!

"I was experimenting with the Synth Tech MOTM-650 MIDI-CV converter's arrpegiator sending MIDI clock out to the Moon M563 MIDI2CV converter and syncing up the M569 sequencer etc. It turned into something I wanted to preserve by recording it but, I have another project I really want to get done so I did this one pretty quick. (I was planning on several tracks of Eastern hand drums and full drumset too . . .)

This is the third attempt which was followed by three false starts and then the final take which was the best. Unfortunately I didn't realize that the camera had run out of memory so I only got the first minute of it. :-/ So what you see here is the third attempt with extra bonus mistakes for your viewing amusment! ;-)

Thank you for watching, rating and commenting!"

"This is my first piece for the Manta, an instrument by Jeff Snyder (snyderphonics.com). It is triggering two instruments (collision and omnisphere) and a pre-programmed bass (audio-clip) in Ableton Live. The setup uses touch-sensitive note-triggering and the X-Y multitouch-parameters at the same time and is written in max/msp.
Recorded Jan 8th in Bushwick, Brooklyn during some snowfall in front of my window......."
