The Synclavier

via Obsolete Components where you'll find more shots and the full write-up.

"It was always in our dreams as young producers to work with the Synclavier. The Glossy shots of it in Keyboard magazine as we grew up always caught our attention. After learning that this was the secret to part of Depeche Mode's early sound, we knew we had to have it some day."

Marsynth modular buchla test 2

YouTube via marsynth | September 24, 2010

"Another video of the buchla LPG getting taken through its paces (still on the breadboard... I need to actually finish this thing sometime...).

This video also features some new(ish) modules for my system that I finished over the summer: my eight-step circle sequencer (providing the main melody/groove line), and my 4x4 grid sequencer (providing randomness to the poppy/clicky part) (there you go electro-music diy folks, better late than never right?).

Effects include delay via an empress super delay, reverb via my mixing board, and overall audio shittyness via my cell phone's mic.

Thanks again for watching!"

"Compressing audio from the roland tr-606 thru the serge using the waveshaper as the vca and the DSG as the detector, buffer inverts the env... from subtle to nasty! Enjoy."

Blip Festival Tokyo: Nullsleep / No Carrier

Blip Festival Tokyo: Nullsleep / No Carrier from Jeriaska on Vimeo.

"'Pleasure Construct' by Nullsleep, performed September 4 at Koenji High as part of the Blip Festival Tokyo concert event.

nullsleep.com/​bio.php

Nullsleep is the alias of Jeremiah Johnson, an electronic musician whose style could best be described as post-cyberpunk: a combination of distorted synthpop, electro, and industrial produced with repurposed low-bit electronics. His approach embraces the politics of appropriation, leveraged limitations, destructive process and data corruption. The result is a wall of digital noise driven by a heavy beat, expanding and collapsing in a series of glitches and drones emanating from cheap plastic devices. In 1999 Nullsleep cofounded 8bitpeoples, a collective of artists interested in the audio-visual aesthetics of early home computers and video game consoles. He has since released a number of recordings through 8bitpeoples, Astralwerks, Aniplex and others. Based in New York City, Nullsleep has performed over 150 shows throughout North America, Europe and Asia, including successful world tours in 2006 and 2009.

Blacet Klang Werk

via this auction

"From the Blacet site: 'The Balanced Modulator with its bell-like, dissonant modulations is one of the key sound generators of electronic music. In operation, the two input frequencies are multiplied and the sum and difference output with the fundamentals suppressed. The resulting tones can exhibit rare beauty or serious cacophony. With a built-in envelope follower and three way voltage controlled waveform modulator, this module goes way beyond conventional ring modulators. Klang Werk packs a whole lot of modular synth into a small package, but doesn't take anything away from its use as a traditional module.'"

Harvestman Malgorithm

via this auction

"From the Harvestman site: 'Malgorithm is the world's first voltage-controlled bitcrusher. Both bit depth and sampling rate are independently controllable by knob or control voltage. Additionally, a primitive digital waveshaper can make your signal hurt, with eight different modes (and optional rectification afterwards.) Use the Malgorithm to bring external signals into aesthetic compliance with the rest of the Harvestman system. Enable eloquence through spectral profanity.'"
