Hollow Sun's BROKEN and INTERFERENCE

via Hollow Sun
"As dysfunctional as it looks, 'Broken' [demos online] is, errmmm, well .... broken! It makes the sounds of dying valve audio machinery squealing and writhing in pain. And you can add further torture to the sounds with the application of the 'Mangle' functions as well as low and highpass filtering, envelope shaping, multi-wave LFO, phase shifting, echo and convolved reverb including vintage springs."

"Wow, It is great..!!! It is going to be very useful... Thank You... All the best, Jean Michel Jarre"

Interference
"Remember those days when we wrestled with mains hum, component and tape hiss, etc.? Well now, in our santisied world of digital audio, you can put all that crud back into your recordings, the turd back into your polish, with the flick of a few switches.

Broken and Interference are available now, priced $8 and $4 respectively. "

"The Broken instrument started out as samples from my malfunctioning Hammond Solobos." You might remember Atomic Shadow's HP Oscillators featured in Hollow Sun's OSCILLOSINE. See the Hollow Sun label below for more.

Futurisk - Lonely Streets (1982 Ocean Sound)
YouTube Uploaded by theinnernerd on Apr 27, 2009

"FUTURISK was a pioneering synth-punk group that recorded and performed in the pre-midi era of the early 1980s. As of yet, the Player Piano EP has not been reissued, but you can pick up a copy of a live performance of "Meteoright" at minimalwave.com on The Found Tapes LP. The audio for this video was taken from a 24bit/96kHz vinyl rip. Highly recommended.

"Very obscure American synth-punk/wave band,circa 1982. No doubt influenced by ndW groups such as DAF."

sammichSID & sammichFM Assembly

sammichSID Assembly from Justin on Vimeo.

"A high speed construction video of a MIDIbox SammichSID synthesizer.

From the MIDIbox website:
sammichSID was designed to be the “no excuses” MIDIbox SID synthesizer kit - i.e. for all those people who want a MIDIbox SID but consider building it with modules too time-consuming, too newbie-unfriendly and/or too hard to design and construct a control surface, and where MB-6582 is too expensive, too daunting and/or too hard to source all the parts.

sammichSID therefore has the following design constraints/features, which support each other:

* cheap
* small
* DIY newbie friendly
* minimal control surface
* single “walwart”/AC adapter supply, no C64 PSU brick!
* stereo SID, optimized for 8580/6582A, 6581 optionally supported
* “sandwich-style” stacked PCB design, no wires!
* laser-cut 3mm acrylic case by Ponoko, customization possible
* industry standard 2×20 character LCD with low-power LED backlight, customization possible
* common control surface parts used, customization possible

I forgot to add a music credit at the end of the video. The audio track is djynnx. You might know him from NOMMO OGO. If you don't, you probably should. His music is amazing.
