Surprise Control - DIY Workshop Basel Zürich

Surprise Control from Niklas Roy on Vimeo.

"A workshop that took place at Kunstraum Walcheturm in Zürich and at [plug.in] Basel in May 2010.

The participants have built little "Surprise Machines", based on the "Surprise Controller". This was a preprogrammed microcontroller with a vast variety of possible behaviours. Depending on which peripherals are connected to which pins of the chip, it always behaved a little bit different.

Migros Kulturprozent invited me to conduct this workshop as part of their :digital brainstorming ( digitalbrainstorming.ch/ ) event series."

An apocaliptic theme

YouTube via attorks — May 13, 2010

"This afternoon I came up with a sequence with 3 voices on the Doepfer MAQ16/3 which sounded rather nice. The 3 voices are the Synthesizers.com Modular, the self-built Modular and the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO fed to the Resonant LoPass Gate. This evening I programmed Nodal to transpose the 3 sequences on the Doepfer MAQ16/3 and add another sequence for the CreamWare MiniMax ASB. I hooked up the Zoom RT-323 drum machine and in the video you see the result of the improvisation. The solo is played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1, the Mellotron strings on the Roland XP-80 and some additional chords on the Waldorf Q Keyboard."
