"AFRIQUE" For Gravikord & Theremin

YouTube via copperleaves | October 27, 2010
Theremin comes in at 2:24.
"The "gravikord" is an electroacoustic instrument that is the brainchild of inventor and musical instrument builder, Bob Grawi. It is based on the traditional west African double harp known as the "kora". This piece of music is a short improvisation designed to show some of the things that the gravikord can do (things that are not possible on the kora). I had to cut my head off when I filmed myself playing the gravikord because I was singing the part that I would eventually play on the Moog Ethervox theremin and it looked a bit silly!

For more about the gravikord (tuning, construction etc.) Wikipedia has a very interesting and informative article at the following URL:

Invisible Drum Set - iPhone App

Invisible Drum Set - iPhone App from Kevin Schlei on Vimeo.

"Invisible Drum Set is the drumming app for iPhone 4 and iPod Touch (4th generation) that lets you play 16 drums out of thin air. This performance demos some of the preset drum sounds and effects.

All sounds are generated live from the app. There are built-in recording / looping features.

You can also load your own sounds! I'm curious to see what strange instruments people will make with it.

Beatseqr beat-tweaker inna dub garage stylee

YouTube via jonathangolub | October 26, 2010

"This is me playing around with Steve Cooley's amazing beatseqr hardware controller. I'm running it through a Macbook Pro, with Roxor and Steppa, the open-source software designed specifically for the hardware. The Macbook is sending MIDI out to an Emu ESI-32, and I'm also adding Space Echo, spring reverb and digital delay to individual tracks. I spent about 10 minutes beforehand programming the step sequencer, otherwise everything is live."

A longer, slightly different version of the previous Annulus video. This has a bit more EML 200 interplay to it."

YouTube via SacherStudioTV | October 27, 2010

"Un piccolo esempio di come un LFO freerun - nello specifico quello del Bassman di Crumar - possa dare luogo a una modulazione sottile ma strategica: quella del taglio del filtro.
