Christmas Medley 2012 by Michael Brückner


"This is a mix of five (at this moment still) unreleased tracks, three of them featuring my wife Cäcilia on vocals:

Prelude - Wedding Tune - Interlude - Sunturn Tune - Bronstein

The first three come from a set me and Cäcilia performed at the wedding of two friends in 2009, track four is from late 2006, and the last one for a never released compilation in 2008.

While the wedding tracks with the biblic quotations are suitable for Christmas (I think) and the Sunturn Tune brings some light to the dark winter days, the closing "pseudo-russian" track ends the set with some cheerful new years wishes (...sort of). I think it's a nice little set for this time of the year - enjoy!

Oh, and: happy and peacful christmas to all of You, and a great, prosperous and auspicious 2013, too!!!! :-)"

"So this is X-mas" - on Yamaha PC-100

Published on Dec 23, 2012 by organfairy

"It's about time if I want to make a Christmas video this year :-)

So I have made a mini keyboard version of John Lennon's Christmas song from the early 1970's. All the sounds are from the Yamaha Portasound PC-100 except the bass which is played on the Yamaha PSS-12 and the sleigh bells which are acoustic."

"Inside the Grid on Altair IV" by Mark Mosher - A One-Note One-Patch Soundscape in Absynth 5

Published on Dec 23, 2012 by Mark Mosher

This song is also available as an MP3-320 audio download on soundcloud http://soundcloud.com/markmosher/inside-the-grid-on-altair-iv .

"Inside the Grid on Altair IV" is a soundscape created with one patch from scratch using the Absynth 5. It is performed be pressing and holding a single note for the entirety of the song. While I have used Absynth as the sole instrument for songs in the past (Tracks 3 & 4 on my last album markmosher.bandcamp.com/album/no-ghosts-just-fear), I've never created a patch where one held note triggers the entire composition. Recent works by Absynth creator Brian Clevinger and artist Anthony Distefano have inspired me to do start working on some pieces of this nature and this is my first of many to come.

The audio is CD quality, and the video shows a behind-the-scenes look at Absynth's wonderful 68-stage modulatable envelopes in action. So all the movement and changes in dynamics, pitch, timber are meticulously drawn and programmed as part of the patch. The envelopes also support LFOs on segments. The envelopes can be extremely long and also loop independently which making Absynth fantastic for evolving soundscapes.

Note, I am also using an envelope to change the "effect time" of the Pipe Effect which is a unique audio effect within Absynth. P. 88 of the manual describes it best "Let's take the image of a string. A loudspeaker (a contact loudspeaker) is connected to a string, which begins to vibrate as a result. You can determine the position of this virtual loudspeaker on the string via the parameter Input Position. Above the string are two pickups, similar to an E-Guitar. The pickups' positions can be determined through the parameter Output Positions. Changing those two parameters can be compared with changing two microphones. You can modulate the string's length and the pickups' position through the LFOs or a MIDI Controller. This way, various flanging, pitch-shifting and rotary speaker effects can be achieved. These effects are particularly apparent when the modulation of the pickups are modulated in op¬posite directions."
