Correction on Upcoming Dave Vosh Show

In the last post I noted Ohio as the location. That's actually the street. The upcoming show in November will be in St. Louis.

Amen ADDAC

ADDAC .WAV Player & Moog Voyager
Update: cleaned up the description a bit:
1st test of my new ADDAC .WAV player. Watch at 1080p. The beat is the Amen Break included with the .WAV player which comes with an SD card loaded with a few samples. The synth that comes in at :15 is the Moog Voyager. I have the CV out of the .WAV player going into the Filter CV in of the Voyager. I have the Voyager set to play middle C with Gate ON so it just drones and the .WAV player modulates it. I just let the .WAV play adjusting the sample length followed by the bit/sample rate. Super simple. Listen not only to the Amen break change as I adjust knobs, but the Voyager as well. The .WAV player is in effect playing the Voyager.

Knobs:
Top Left: volume
Top Right: Sample length
2nd Right: File position - sample location
3rd Right: Sample Rate when enabled
4th Right: VCA
5th Left: CV Out Level
6th Right: CV Out Decay

Update: History of the Amen Break

Video explains the world's most important 6-sec drum loop

YouTube Uploaded by mobius32 on Feb 21, 2006

"This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison's 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip."

Periphery Label Launch Event, August 20th, Philadelphia

"One Thousand Pulses, the Northeast's premier concert series for electronic & experimental music, invites you to the launch event for its new CD label, Periphery. / otperiphery.com

Periphery's maxim is "wrestling frequencies from the edges & otherwise", proffering uncategorizable works from musicians operating across the electronic & experimental music spectrum.

All three recent releases, including Richard Lainhart's Polychromatic Integers, and the One Thousand Pulses compendium Home Patterning (with tracks by Tim Motzer and Color is Luxury, recorded live in the OTP soundspace) will be available at the event.

Our launch event lineup:

> TIM MOTZER / 1krecordings.com / Philly-based guitarist and composer Tim Motzer finds infinite joy in diversity. His output as a leader and sideman crisscrosses multiple musical universes, including jazz, fusion, prog, hip-hop, soul, electronica, and the avantgarde. Motzer gets to explore these genres and the intersections between them via his ubiquitous presence in the wildly deep and varied Philly scene. He also traverses manifold territories through the many albums released on his own 1k Recordings, such as the rhythmically diverse soundscapes populating the Tilomo release, and, more tellingly, as Fractured Reverb Underground (FRU). The sole FRU CD comprises electronic studio experiments from 1999 — a decade ahead of their time — generously tipping its hat to the Orb’s Alex Patterson thanks to its psychedelic clouds of mercurial ambient textures. Motzer has also worked on releases by British singer-songwriter David Sylvian with the ongoing Secret Rhythms project comprising electronica/dub luminary Burnt Friedman and ex-Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit, as well as with German Touch guitarist Markus Reuter on Descending, a deeply sublime and stunningly beautiful work that references Brian Eno, Frippertronics, Supersilent, and David Sylvian.

> RICHARD LAINHART / otownmedia.com / Since childhood, Richard Lainhart has been interested in natural processes such as waves, flames and clouds, in harmonics and harmony, and in creative interactions with machines, using them as compositional methods to present sounds and images that are as beautiful as he can make them. Well-versed in the varied applications of his beloved Buchla boxes, yet equally agile on numerous synths, keyboards, vibes, and guitars, Lainhart has been reorganizing the topography of tone and texture for over 30 years. After studying composition in Albany under EMF founder and professor Joel Chadabe, Lainhart not only went on to create idiosyncratic recordings in his own right, but has performed and worked with the likes of John Cage, David Tudor, Steve Reich, Phill Niblock, David Berhman, and many others.

> COLOR IS LUXURY / colorisluxury.org / Obsessed with circuit-bending and inner ear manipulation, intrepid Philly experimental sound duo Color Is Luxury combines the talents of erstwhile Buchla veteran Charles Cohen and the curiously monikered hair_loss in the yielding of some of the most provocative boops and beeps around. Ripping the innards out of their respective electronic arsenals, this diminutive motley crew twist their varied sound palettes into corkscrew whorls of new shapes, sizes, and hues. Noise but not noise, drawing clear lineage from the pioneering work of Morton Subotnick, Pauline Oliveros, Gil Melle, and Wendy Carlos outward, Color Is Luxury remain tonally consciously even when they go all atonal on us, sonic provocateurs sharing a rich aural history that blossoms before your very ears.

> PTO / PTO (Pulses Tones Oscillations) is one of the numerous sound-producing aliases of Darren Bergstein, longtime music journalist, collector, historian, and archivist, former publisher of the magazines i/e and e/i, and founder/owner of both One Thousand Pulses and the Periphery label. Free improvising in the wellworn electroacoustic tradition, Bergstein has at his disposal tools old (tongue drum, rainstick, metallophone) and new (iPhone), but they're all just texture-mappers regardless of origin, simply various objects to be tapped, stroked, and struck at will.

Join us for an immersive evening of audiovisual electronic interfacing."

Dave Vosh & Chris Videll 8/4/2011

The video synth is the Critter and Guitari tv-oscillascope. Dave will be performing with Venus Slick in St. Louis on Nov 11.

Update: the show in November is in St. Louis, not Ohio. Ohio was the street. My mistake.

"'safe and effective', chris videll and dave vosh performing at 'visart / rooftop@rockville,md.' at their art-party / performance art event called "d.c. emerging" held on 8/4/2011. d.c. sonic circuits curated the sonic performances at this event.
sadly, this is only an excerpt of my performance with chris. enviromental factors - wind and crowd noise plus blocked sight-line for the camcorder all posed problems. still, we got to play on an honest-to-god 6th floor building rooftop, amazingly weird fun !
