Theme for a damp forest (vvvv edition)

YouTube Uploaded by DevsoundSE on Feb 12, 2012

"Showing some of the possibilities of VVVV + Buzz for making generative music and art.

(The vvvv-patch is super-messy, I know... I was just testing some of the svg-functionality in vvvv.)

So, what's going on?
Well, first an svg-image is generated in vvvv. That's the black and red shape.
Then we extract the node data from the svg and pass it on to a bunch of dots that are beeing rendered in the four windows. MIDIdata is then generated in 8 channels by taking some random rms-values of the node data. For good measure, an FFT-node is placed in vvvv to recieve the music from buzz to manipulate the parameters of the svg-shape. This in turn translates down to the dot-renderers, and will modify the midi-data sent to Buzz. It's called feedback, you dummy.

Any questions?"

paradise of noise with dementia DM 1

YouTube Uploaded by pianoloft on Feb 13, 2012

"sometimes it´s really fun, to do some noisy stuff - music without melody, chords and groove, just sound and pulsations. in this case i used a noise-synth called DEMENTIA DM 1 by AUDIBLE DISEASE, routed through the RAINBOW MACHINE of EARTH QUAKER, a circuit bent touchsynth by DRMOONSTIEN and the pulsation was created and modified with ROTA SYNTH of TRAX and the SHERMAN FILTERBANK.

"Union Silver" - on Roland D-20

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Feb 13, 2012

"It has been a while since I used this instrument. Therefore I made this video using only voices and rhythms from the Roland D-20. I didn't use the sequencer though but instead recorded everything in multitrack on a PC.

I have read somewhere that the original version of this song was Italian. But the most well known version is probably the English one by Middle of the Road called "Union Silver". But there was also a Swedish version - En sång om sorg och glädje - recorded by Agnetha Fältskog before ABBA really took off."

Legendary Instruments - Jean Michel Jarre

"Jean Michel Jarre demonstrates the analogue synths he's used during his career."

I believe this is from the "Oxygene Live in Your Living Room" DVD previously posted here and first mentioned here. Also see this post for some info on the matrix digisequencer by Michel Geiss.
