Shashkin (or Ya Ein Moulayetin) on Korg Electribe EMX

YouTube via rudeog | November 06, 2010

"The song Shashkin was recorded by Omar Faruk Tekbilek however I believe it has its roots as a traditional bedouin song. It was popularized at one time by Samira Tawfik in the song Ya Ein Moulayetin. Like any old song, it's roots and ownership will be disputed.
The song is played on the bayati maqam (arabic scale). Since the electribe can't play this scale due to it being microtonal, I had to resort to monkey business to get it to sound (almost) correct. I didn't do much with the arrangement, FX or drums as I was focusing more on getting the microtones of the scale. I edited the video down to shorten it as it was originally 5 minutes."

Two PDX Synth Gathering Pics - Custom EML/MMM and Buchla

Some pics via George Mattson of Mattson Mini Modular. The top two are from the recent PDX Synth Gathering. You can see a Mattson Mini Modular system on top of a panel. The panel is George's custom work and is part of his massive EML Modular Restoration project (see this post). There are two close-ups of the panel below. The second shot are two Buchla 200es. The left is Citizen Mori's and the right Dougcl's who hosted the event.
