TONEWHEELS HURDY-GURDY(VIELLE A ROUE OPTOÉLECTRONIQUE)

TONEWHEELS HURDY-GURDY(VIELLE A ROUE OPTOÉLECTRONIQUE) from macumbista on Vimeo.

"This optoelectronic hurdy-gurdy was commission by the Acces(s) Festival, Pau France in October 2012.

TONEWHEELS is an experiment in converting graphical imagery to sound, inspired by some of the pioneering 20th Century electronic music inventions, such as the Light-Tone Organ (Edwin Emil Welte, 1936 Germany), the ANS Synthesizer (Evgeny Murzin, 1958 USSR), and the Oramics system (Daphne Oram, 1959 UK). Transparent tonewheels with repeating patterns are spun over light-sensitive electronic circuitry similar to that used in 16 & 35mm motion picture projectors to produce sound.

The TONEWHEELS Hurdy-Gurdy presented at Acces(s) is not an "interactive" artwork in the common sense. While it does not reward the impatient museum visitor with flashing lights and noises at the simple touch of the button, it does invite participation in the process of technological music creation. Although it first appears to be a very traditional instrument known to many folk-music cultures, it functions in a very different way which can only be discovered by playing it.

The artist would like to thank Tobias Traub of Oroborus Customs e.K. and Carlo Crovato for their invaluable assistance in creating this instrument. Circuits designed by Jessica Rylan and Eric Archer are also used within the system.

"I could spend just two days with this machine only, so the example tracks are simple, but should give a picture about the funkcionality and sounds of this small but "BIG" box ;) No external FX, EQ or comression used."

Korg MS-20 = LFO vs VCF : Cage Match

Published on Oct 16, 2012 by n3bsvid

[ Music: http://citizenpark.bandcamp.com ]

"Just a little messing around with the LFO in ramp-wave modulating both filters set with pretty high Q's. The MS-20 is one angry beast.

The recording was done dry, no effects.

Hardware:

Thomas Henry's 555-VCO

Thomas Henry's 555-VCO from fonitronik on Vimeo.

"A short unedited demo of my built of Thomas Henry's latest 555 timer based VCO. The 1V/Oct input is fed by a Dopefer Quantizer to show how nicely it tracks.

NOTE that i left off the PWM in my build, but added a switch and a LED to switch from VCO to LFO mode. In this demo i only use the VCO mode, though."
