"Senior Research Project completed at Stetson University in the Digital Arts program under Dr. Nathan Wolek. The instrument is a double neck guitar/bass with four analog sensors and a total of 16 switches put together with custom soldering and circuitry. This all communicates with the computer through a teabox made by electrotap."

recompas The Shrine of Native Rites for Electric Winter @ Eyebeam 12.11.10

Live EMS Synthi and Voice of Saturn

Latest tracks by recompas

"The performance took place in an installation where the audience consisted of 6 people, each with a set of headphones. They sat inside a space somewhat inspired by native american teepee's and other native structures that was meant to inspire a calm state of meditation or induce a dreamlike state with the materials used in construction and the video being projected on the cieling part. The recordings are of 6 separate performances."

"Playing around with my DIY synth.

t's a 3-VCO analog synth that has a transistor ladder VCF, two ADSRs, two LFOs, a ring modulator, and a noise generator. I'm not actually playing but automatically driving using dual LFO that are synchronizing each other."

"This is the first experiment. This is a toy called Plasma Plate. I made a circuit that picks up noise from the plasma. Sounds/looks good to be used for a percussion."

KORG monotron mod. experiment / VCOもう一個つけてみました

YouTube via gajeanalog | April 24, 2010 |

"I've got this nice analog synth newly released by Korg. The synth itself is fun to play, but I want to add another oscillator to enrich the sound. This is my first experiment to add a VCO to Monotron. The 2nd oscillator output is sent to VCF as well as the first oscillator (i.e. the original). This can do soft sync also.

The mod. info including schematics is uploaded at http://gaje.jp/projects/synth_effect/...

The embeded version is introduced there from 4:33.

KORG の新製品のアナログシンセ monotron そのままでも十分楽しいですが、VCO がもう一個あるともっと楽しそうだと思いました。
と、いうことで、まずはブレッドボードでテスト回路を組んで実験してみました。"

DIY Optigan / Orchestron Disc Player

YouTube via gajeanalog | December 12, 2010 | 1 likes, 0 dislikes

"Check out the article http://gaje.jp/projects/synth_effect/...

Optigan and Orchestron are optical organs manufactured in 1970s. One day I heard the sound and liked them, and thought I wanted to play them. However their manufacturing were terminated long time ago and nearly impossible for me to obtain. But the discs are still available, so I have a chance if I build the player by myself.

This is my DIY optical organ built from analog record turntable. It supports both Optigan and Orchestron discs."
