Atomic Shadow - I Sleep On Magnets - Excerpt

"This is the introduction to a much longer piece from the next album. This is an exploration of how we relate to our machines and gadgets in an emotional way. In the course of the piece software and modular equipment was used to process field recordings. The EMW-200, STG Sea Devil filter, DotCom modules, and Krisp1 ring mod are featured, as well as the usual collection of dusty vintage lab gear, effects and even a couple of iPad apps."

"Neat new analog synthesizer I just unwrapped for the second time. First one didn't work, this one does, but I think it may still have some issues/quarks/features. However, perhaps that is all part of the analog experience they didn't want to leave you without on it."

Bob Moog Foundation and macProVideo.com Launch Courses on Synthesis

"BOB MOOG FOUNDATION AND MACPROVIDEO.COM PARTNER TO BRING MOOOGMENTUM ALIVE THROUGH SYNTHESIS EDUCATION

(Vancouver, BC/Asheville, NC) - The Bob Moog Foundation and macProvideo have joined forces to create a series of six new audio synthesis courses for music producers. Called “The Foundation of Synthesis with Marc Doty,” these new courses take viewers step-by-step through the process of sound synthesis using a collection of vintage and contemporary synthesizers including ARP, Yamaha and, of course, Moog.

The Bob Moog Foundation (BMF) honors the legacy of its namesake pioneer through igniting creativity at the intersection of music, science, history, and innovation. With education at the core of its mission, the Foundation found a synergistic partner in macProVideo.com, an online education community whose core commitments parallel those of the Foundation.

Says Michelle Moog-Koussa, the Foundation's Executive Director, 'This partnership with macProVideo allows us to educate tens of thousands of curious sonic explorers via macProVideo's vast subscriber base. Through this series of comprehensive online synthesis courses, totaling over seven hours of information, Marc Doty (BMF Education Specialist) brings the very essence of Bobʼs technical legacy to light with a clarity and ease of understanding that is rare to the genre.'

According to Steve Horelick, a master synthesist in his own right and the composer that scored every episode of PBS's "Reading Rainbow" television show, "as Publisher for macProVideo.com and AskVideo.com it is an honor to be working hand-in-hand with the Bob Moog Foundation and their resident synthesist guru, Marc Doty, to bring this informative series on analog synthesis to our members."

Go to http://www.macprovideo.com/moog to learn more about “The Foundation of Synthesis” courses.

Synthesist Erik Norlander also makes a guest appearance in the videos with his 22 oscillator modular Moog synthesizer.

macProVideo.com is an online education community training on the worldʼs leading audio, video and graphic software through HD video-tutorial course.

The Bob Moog Foundation’s mission is to carry Bob's pioneering legacy forward through igniting creativity at the intersection of music, science, history and innovation. (www.bobmoogfoundation.org)"

Introducing The Pianocade - Chiptune Synthesizer and MIDI Controller

"The Pianocade is a synthesizer and MIDI controller designed to capture the look, feel, and sound of retro video games. The user interface is made out of arcade parts and the custom-designed, open-source synthesis engine emulates the sound hardware of vintage arcade cabinets and consoles."

Roland Kuit's Laboratory of Patching Now Available

First posted here, Roland Kuit's Laboratory of Patching is now available. Click on the E BOOKS link when you get there. Also check out the MASTERCLASSES link for direct one on one training with Roland.

"Laboratory of Patching combines the upgraded and extended interactive eBooks SoundLab I and SoundLab II bundled as one Big Modular Knowledge Lab with over 1700 patches. Equal parts tutorial, demonstration and resource in modular synthesis, sound design and composition."

This is extensive and well written. Roland's previous Roland Kuit SoundLab II - Book with Patches for Nord Modular G2 was well received by the synth community. Whether you are new to modular synthesis or a seasoned veteran you should find plenty of value here. If you are running Windows or an older version of the Mac OS, you can instal the Nord Modular G2 software for free and follow along with the tutorials. For OSX Lion you can run it with WineBottler. I took a look at some of the tutorials and although they are based around the Nord Modular G2 software, the concepts of course can be applied to other synths whether that be modular hardware, or software.

Update: updated the link above. It now goes to Roland Kuit's home page where you can either get the courses via the EBOOKs link or MASTERCLASSES for one on one training.

MakeNoise Records & Richard Devine's Latest EP "Creature"

"Tony Rolando from Make Noise Co. and Surachai have been planning for the past several months and the result is a record label called Make Noise Records and the initial series to be released is called Shared System. Tony has put together a self-contained modular synthesizer system composed of Make Noise modules and Surachai is curating the series. The selected artists are given one rule: think inside the box.

Shared System Records has 5 artists lined up and all their recordings will be released on separate limited edition 7″ vinyl releases accompanied by an exclusive download card that grants access to extended aural explorations. We are releasing one 7″ at a time and Richard Devine will be our first offering.

Richard Devine's new EP entitled "Creature" will be the first released on limited edition clear 7" vinyl.

Stay tuned for more information…"
