How I jam: Performing live with MIDI hardware and Ableton Live

YouTube Published on Aug 23, 2012 by flx04

"I frequently receive questions about my music setup and how I connect and record the various instruments, when filming my "Synth Jams". This video gives you an overview of my workflow, and hopefully inspires you to design your own live performance setup.

If you have further questions, post them underneath the video, or write me a message.

Of course I'm also interested in how you make music, so go ahead and tell me about your setup or link me to your own audio/video on the internet. :)

TimeGears - One Broadcast Day. Part I

"This composition it's impression of broadcasts the radio station WJSV (Washington, D.C.) recorded in one day on September 21, 1939. - "Just another day. Just another broadcast day evaporating into the ether, like all the days that came before and all the days that followed. Except for one difference. This one was recorded. In its entirety. On thirty-eight 16" double-sided lacquer discs."

This record is preserved entirely up to the present day and fragments of this in chronological order sounds throughout the entire composition. In these fragments can hear everything that sounded on the air - news, announces, advertising, thematic programs and more.

Soundscapes of this composition like a time gears link today's day which has lots of different forms of information, with events that happened over seventy years ago. With what could be heard at the time through only one kind of worldwide electronic information stream." You can find additional images and details on the recording of the track at Motion soundscape here.

Weekend Projects - Optical Tremolo Box

YouTube Published on Aug 23, 2012 by makemagazine

"Complete instructions for this episode of Weekend Projects can be found at
http://makeprojects.com/Project/Optical-Tremolo-Box/2276/1

Inspired by Charles Platt's "Stomp Box Basics" article (MAKE Volume 15, page 82), follow along as we build this Optical Tremolo Box, which reads a patterned disk with a light sensor to create a warbling audio effect (tremolo).

For this project, MAKE Technical Editor Sean Ragan used a cadmium sulfide photoresistor to provide us with our light sensor - a component we have used in previous Weekend Projects. Not only does it look cool and sound great, but once you've made the project, you can customize it by making your own effects disks!"

MFOS NOISE TOASTER In Space II

YouTube Published on Aug 23, 2012 by theraywilsonshow

"Same as last one with some enhancments to the video. There were no flying toasters in the first one... DUH! What was I thinkin'

The MFOS NOISE TOASTER is way more fun than you thought was possible with a 9V battery! It's an awesome little 9V powered noise box that's like carrying around a miniature synth. This project is a bit more complex than the WSG but has far more sound shaping and producing capability. This is going to be one of your favorite toys and it's portable (1W amp and speaker built right in).

This piece is a sound painting. It represents the computers on a planetary probe ship that sometimes whir with activitiy and at other times simply monitor and scan the surroundings. When there is data to record threads in the ship's program activate. The small course correcting jets keep the ship on course. The monitor threads drone in the background.

Multi-track recording using MFOS NOISE TOASTER for all sounds and SONAR Producer Edition for reverb and delay. Made in a semi musique-concrete way using wav file snippets instead of tape. The background drones are all real time throughout. It is a low frequency ramp synced to the LFO and I'm using the vco freq knob to accentuate harmonics. The VCO then goes through the voltage controlled low pass filter whose cut-off frequency is about half way up.

If any prima donna guitarists are offended by the title of this video then I suggest you develop a sense of humour and irony, as many failed to get the joke in my previous video here http://youtu.be/ZzzwsWrnvpc [previously posted here]
