4ms Shuffling Clock Multiplier version 1.0.2

YouTube via 4mspedals — June 16, 2010 — "The Shuffling Clock Multiplier is the latest Eurorack-format Clocker module from 4ms. It's the spastic cousin of the Rotating Clock Divider.

User Manual for the SCM is here: http://www.4mspedals.com/scm.php

In this video two SCMs and some RCDs are all synchronized using a Bananalogue VCS's End-out for the master clock. The SCMs/RCDs are triggering some Analogue Solutions SD/BD/HH88 drum modules (bass drum on a slow Shuffle-4, open hat on S5, snare on a slow S8, hat accent on S8, closed hat is sequentially switched between S6 and x8).

A slow rise-fall CV signal from the VCS is controlling the CV Slip on the main SCM, which is pushing beats variable ahead in time from where they normally fall.

The clocks are also gating an ADSR envelope, which sweeps the Position CV on a 4ms Atoner to generate the melody line. A Wiard/Malekko Borg Filter 2 gates the Atoner with the Shuffle-5 clock to make distinct notes. A high pitch from an Anti-Osc also gets gated by the Shuffle-3 clock about half way through the video.

At the end I speed up the VCS which makes everything run faster and faster until we hear the limit of the clocks (about 3kHz, or 180,000 BPM)!"

Eminent P 275 Home Organ

YouTube via grauoliv — June 16, 2010 — "Short introduction to the organ Eminent P 275 with solina strings. Thanks to Petra (Peine) for the organ, thanx to Michael and Andreas for transport. It was worth it! But I think the 2000 Grand Theatre got more options on the solina strings, maybe ...."

"CarWash" - on Yamaha PSR-78

YouTube via organfairy — June 16, 2010 —

"Normally I make the music first and then record the video. This time it was the other way round: About a year ago I wondered how a carwash would look from the inside of the car. So the next time I took my Suzuki to the carwash I placed the camera inside the car before starting the wash.....thing.

I didn't really know what to do with that recording but then I got the idea to play the old 1970's classic "Carwash". Another unusuality is the inclusion of a sax solo in the arrangement. I hope you don't mind.

Apart from the foghorn I used a Yamaha PSR-78, a Roland E-15, the Technics SX-C600 organ, and the Böhm Station one."

Roland CR-78 drum machine & WS-1 (owned by GENESIS)

via this auction

"Vintage analog gear. used, as/is, no returns, no refunds, no exchanges. Roland CR-78 works great (yes, think Phil Collins 'In the Air Tonight').

Includes the almost extinct WS-1 write switch. This WS-1 was previously owned by GENESIS and I have the purchase certificate for proof.

The CR-78 was NOT owned by GENESIS, only the WS-1."

Swarm Music Album Black Allegheny

Swarm Music Album Black Allegheny from Evan Merz on Vimeo.

"In this video, I explain my new album, Black Allegheny. The album was created using algorithmic composition software that utilizes swarm intelligence. In this video, I explain how this music differs from traditionally composed music.

To listen to the album or buy it, go to evanxmerz.bandcamp.com/

For more about the composer, see computermusicblog.com/blog/evan-x-merz/"

This reminds me of Audio Damage's Automation.

Swarm Controlled Sampler - Becoming Live from Evan Merz on Vimeo.

"Becoming is an algorithmic composition program written in java, that builds upon some of John Cage’s frequently employed compositional processes. Cage often used the idea of a “gamut” in his compositions. A gamut could be a collection of musical fragments, or a collection of sounds, or a collection of instruments. Often, he would arrange the gamut visually on a graph, then use that graph to piece together the final output of a piece. Early in his career, he often used a set of rules or equations to determine how the output would relate to the graph. Around 1949, during the composition of the piano concerto, he began using chance to decide how music would be assembled from the graph and gamut.

In Becoming, I directly borrow Cage’s gamut and graph concepts; however, the software assembles music using concepts from the AI subfield of swarm intelligence. I place a number of agents on the graph and, rather than dictating their motions from a top-down rule-based approach, the music grows in a bottom-up fashion based on local decisions made by each agent. Each agent has preferences that determine their movement around the graph. These values dictate how likely the agent is to move toward food, how likely the agent is to move toward the swarm, and how likely the performer is to avoid the predator.
