Make Noise / Harvestman noodling

YouTube via henrikbjorkk — May 07, 2010 — "Just me trying out some stuff. Musicwise it is not to be taken too serious.
A lot of stuff going on, but the main roles are played by:

Make Noise QMMG (filtering and LPG)
Make Noise Maths (envelopes)
The Harvestman Piston Honda (dreadful ribbon organ solo)"

DIY Modular synth demo

YouTube via Crashlander42 — May 06, 2010 — "A demo of some newer modules. The first patch is a sequential switch cycling through the outputs of 2 XRVCOs and then fed to a MS20 VCF. The second is a PAIA vocoder being fed a PWM pulse from my SN Voice and the drums from an Electribe. The third is a VCO into a resonant LPG being controlled by an electric druid ADSR and a sequential switch with 2 Electric Druid LFOs."

greightbit commodore 64 slick stick synth diy lofi noise box

via this auction
YouTube via greightbit — May 06, 2010 — "i fashioned a good ole 555 timer 8 voice synth into a commodore 64 slick stick casing... i added a pitch knob to give it that true mechanical mayhem sound, an 1/4" mono output so you can boost the spit out of it or run it through effects. it makes great 8 bitty lofi sounds. thanks

.o, i put an on/off switch to save battery life... runs on a internally housed 9v battery
... super small and light weight and a great addition to the live set."

Akai MPC 60 mk1 boom bap beat

YouTube via michal23pl — May 06, 2010 — "one of my oldschool beats created on mpc 60. this is a direct sound straight from mpc. no external effects or any editing. all sounds are extracted and chopped from vinyl records in a classic pitched-down 45rpm method to get that sweet nasty crunch;) hope you'll enjoy it."

YouHero - rehearsal of Palle Dahlstedt's "Short Term Memory"

YouTube via otoskope — May 06, 2010 — "Katarina Widell and Patrik Karlsson rehearse Palle Dahlstedt's piece Short Term Memory - Game Piece for Game Guitar.

YouHero is a project to turn the passive "musicianship" of a Guitar Hero player into something more creative - a real instrument using the Guitar Hero guitar as a controller. The guitar is connected directly to a laptop, running a custom software designed and programmed by Palle Dahlstedt, implemented in MaxMSP, Java and SynthMaker.

The YouHero project will tour around Sweden in 2010, on concert stages and in schools, encouraging kids to create their own music for this new instrument.

The premiere took place May 5th, 2010 at Pusterviksbaren, Göteborg, Sweden, and this is a rehearsal for that concert, filmed at Element Studio."
