Dave Smith and Ikutaro Kakehashi To Receive Technical GRAMMY Today

You might remember from this post that Dave Smith and Roland's Ikutaro Kakehashi are to receive a Technical GRAMMY Award for MIDI. It appears you will be able to watch the ceremony tonight at 8PM Central here. Thanks to our friends The Bob Moog Foundation on Facebook for posting the link. You can find an article on the award up on the GRAMMY's website here.

"In addition to the GRAMMY Awards, The Recording Academy presents Special Merit Awards recognizing contributions of significance to the recording field, including the Lifetime Achievement Award, Trustees Award and Technical GRAMMY Award. In the days leading up to the 55th GRAMMY Awards, GRAMMY.com will present the tributes to the 2013 Special Merit Awards recipients."

"This is my most recently completed controller. In the video all you are seeing are the lights blinking, but all the controls work. I'm actually playing the beats you are hearing on my Smomid while this is being recorded.

Here is a project page with more info:

and one modern (EMW 300) re-creation of its classic brother the EML 300.

All sounds from the EML200 & EMW300.
No external effects used and recorded in a single take.
Turn you speakers down a bit.

XAOC Devices Moskwa Sketchbook

"This is a collection of analog modular synth compositions showcasing the creative capabilities of XAOC Devices Moskwa roto sequencer eurorack module. Each auditory sketch on this project was recorded live in one take over a 3 week period with no outside sequencing from the computer. I originally intended to record 5-6 sketches for the project... but the Moskwa ended up being so fun and inspiring that I wound up with 13 compositions for this project.
This release comes with a PDF Moskwa sketchbook featuring art by Shiro Fujioka and visual patch diagrams of some of the sketches heard on this album that you can try and or re interpret with your own modular synth."

Special thanks to the XAOC Devices for the inspirational instruments and support on this project.

Extra special thanks to The Wigglers for the inspiration and your ears."
