Metasonix R-54 Sketchbook vol.1

"This is a collection of auditory sketches I performed with the infamous Metasonix R-54 vacuum-tube driven synth module.designed by mastermind Eric Barbour.

About the R-54 in Eric Barbour's words...

"Welcome to the strange new world. The R-54 is the most radical, revolutionary module we've ever made. It will change the way you do music synthesis. There has never been an electronic-music product like this before. Even the oddest things that Buchla And Associates or Serge Modular ever made are prosaic and dull compared to the R-54."

Now that's setting the bar high!

This collections of improvised analog modular synth compositions feature the unruly tube driven R-54 module that refuses to be tamed.

The compositions on this ep were recorded live in one take with me tweaking the dials, controls and sometimes live patching. The R-54 is a really deep module that will keep you busy for years.

The proceeds of this auditory sketchbook will all go towards me getting the Metasonix R-51 module. Thanks for supporting my synth module addiction... I'll keep feeding your ears.

Tacoma Noise Rodeo - June 29 Featuring John L Rice, cathartech & Underground Clouds

For those in the Pacific Northwest, the Tacoma Noise Rodeo will be hosting a few performances Thursday June 29. I pinged John L Rice and he will be performing with his eurorack modular which was featured at the MMTA Summer SYNTHFEST (see this video and the MMTA SYNTHFEST 2012 label for some pics. Note he wont be bringing his 5U system, but if you are in the area this is a good opportunity to check out modular gear live. Details:

cathartech
John L Rice
Underground Clouds

Esoteric electronic music has always had a hard time finding a place and a time.
Tacoma Noise Rodeo exists because there is no outlet for in Tacoma for those who make music that tends towards the experimental. The idea behind the noise rodeo is to locate this venue. Each of the artists was selected because of their vision of what music should be.
That place is Metronome Coffee, 3518 6th Ave., Tacoma, WA 98406
The time is Friday June 29th 8pm.
The price? Free

John L Rice - Percussionist and synthesist John L Rice has had such a long and inconsequential pursuit
of musical endeavors it's difficult to adequately describe it all in just a blurb. Maybe a blob,
but not a blurb. Expect to experience order in his chaos and chaos in his order. Especially
expect to be disappointed so you'll walk away thinking "Well, that wasn't so bad." ;-)

cathartech - Cathartech is aj lindner, a long-time noise and drone purveyor and former curator of Seattle's No Tomorrow experimental music series. His current focus is on parapsychological techniques within a sound and performance context, weaving various forms of media and entrainment procedures to create altered states of awareness in the listener/viewer.

Underground Clouds - When not honing his incredibly low bowling score, underground clouds enjoys Asian food and hanging out in the basement. He is the CEO of a major corporation that turns cat fur into renewable energy. Sometimes he does beats and sometimes noise"
