My solar project - part 1

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Oct 3, 2011

"I have decided to experiment a bit with some small solar panels. So to get some inspiration I visited this big installation in Oksbøl close to the Danish west coast. My version will, however, be very small compared to this one.

I played the music on my Technics SX-C600 organ and Roland SH-2000 synthesizer. The song is called "Solskin" (Sunshine) so it fits this video rather nicely. It was originally recorded in Denmark by Klaus & Servants. But I don't know if this is actually a foreign song that was translated."

Update:

My solar project - part 2

"Now it's time to do a little experiment. I got this box of small solar panel samples. And what I am trying to find out is which ones gives most power. So I sat down in the local forest and did some measurements.

The music is played on my Elka X-1000. The song is called "Der er lang lang vej til Barbados" or "Come Along To Barbados" and was recorded in the mid 1970's in English by Jens Brixtofte and MKT, and later in Danish by Ulla Pia."

"Now it's time to actually build a solar panel. The idea is that the set of batteries next to the meters are charged by the eight solar elements. At the same time power can be taken through the red and black plugs so the batteries are working as a buffer when the current need is greater than what the sun can deliever. Now I just need to test it. How about making an outdoor concert driven by the sun?

The music to this video was something I recorded back in 1999 on Yamaha HE-8 organ and VSS-30 keyboard, Roland SH-2000 synthesizer and CR-1000 drum machine. It is a medley of old pop songs: "Beautyfull Sunday" and "Sunshine lover" both originally sung by Daniel Boone, and "Hooked on a feeling" by Blue Swede."
Solar Concert

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Oct 24, 2011

"To test the solar panel I have been building I play some music on three CASIO keyboards that I have connected to the system. No other power source is used.

I play through the speakers in the keyboards because if I connected them directly to the PC that is recording the performance they would use very little current. So that would be like cheating! I use two microphones to pick up the sound.

The three songs I play are:
"Glemmer du" (Kaj Normann Andersen)
"De Towerfluitsmurf" (Pierre Kartner)
"Oxygen XIII" (Jean Michel Jarre)"

Beatles Moog vs. Synthesizers.com

Track details:
Beatles 'Here Come the Sun' Moog and Synthesizers.com experiment
"This is an attempt at emulating the Moog parts from The Beatles song Here Comes the Sun using a Synthesizers.com modular system. The Left channel is the original Moog track ( with some strings bleeding in). The Right channel is the Dotcom modular. The emulation turned out pretty good considering that I'm not using the same recording equipment Abbey Road had to offer at the time. One particular challenge was to emulate a certain vibrato effect heard at certain places. My guess is that the vibrato was not from the Moog itself, but I suspect from the Artificial Double Tracking tape effect which The Beatles employed often and George Harrison was a particular fan of."

Beatles 'Because' Moog vs Synthesizers.com experiment
"Here I take a stab the the Moog sound from 'Because'. First, the original is heard, followed by the original on the Left channel and the emulation on the Right channel, finally the emulation is played on it's own."

Beatles 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' Moog vs Synthesizer.com experiment
"My attempt at emulating Moog sounds from The Beatles song 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer'. First the original Moog sound is heard followed by the Synthesizer.com emulation. I'm relatively satisfied with the brass ensemble but the rest could have been better. There were just some tricky thing going on I could figure out about some sounds. My suspicion is that some of these sounds were played through guitar amplifiers, giving them certain resonant characteristics I couldn't emulate on a modular synth alone."
