Kawai K4 - examples of sound

Published on Apr 7, 2013 densoniq·3 videos

"I represent to your attention the some sound of the synthesizer Kawai K4/K4r and some possibilities of synthesis."

via Greg Waltzer: "The electro-music festival is the world's premiere event for experimental electronic music. Known as the "Woodstock of electronic music," it features three full days of concerts, seminars, demonstrations, workshops, jam sessions, collaborations, video art, a laptop battle and swap-meet. Electro-music 2013 will be held at the Greenkill Retreat Center in Huguenot, New York, September 6 - 8, 2013. Now in it's ninth year, we expect this to be the biggest and best electro-music event ever!

The scope of this festival is very broad, covering all aspects of electro-music: experimental electronic music, ambient, space music, circuit bending, computer music, electro-jazz, modular synthesis, musique concrete, improvisation, algorithmic composition, multi-media, visual art and much more. The focus will be on participant involvement, sharing, community development, audience education, and great music.

You can actively participate in electro-music 2013 by performing music or visuals, giving a seminar, workshop, or demonstration, joining the jam sessions, or by volunteering to help with various tasks. Please visit the web site for instructions on how to participate:

http://event.electro-music.com/

The deadline for application is May 31.

Everyone who attends the festival will need to purchase tickets, including performing artists and volunteers. We regret that we cannot provide compensation for artists, or pay for travel expenses. We strongly encourage full participation: plan to attend for all three days to support your fellow artists and to contribute to the sense of community. This makes the event more enjoyable for everyone. Highest priority for performance spots will go to artists who are fully involved. Ticket prices range from $40 for a single day to $333 for a three-day pass that includes meals and lodging."

Cray Rocket Machine Tapes - Dedicate Short Wave Edit on Buchla

SPUTNIK West Coast Random Source

via An Inaudible Hum

"I guess it was only a matter of time before someone (in this case, Robbie MacDonald) translated Don Buchla's elegantly screwy electrical ode to unpredictability to the Eurorack format. Its design is very similar to Buchla's, but of course eighth inch cable inputs/outputs are featured throughout (no bananas). The original design divided functions into four discrete noise and S/H sections, while Sputnik furthers this idea with two additions, 'Integrator' and dedicated 'Sample and Hold'."

ES-3 Reaktor 8-Bit LED Display

Published on Apr 7, 2013 chisel316·48 videos

"I used Native Instruments Reaktor to create an 8-bit LED display out of the Expert Sleepers ES-3 Eurorack module. In the first demo I use the Malekko 8nu8r to sweep the CV. In the second demo I use my ArdCore Pseudo-Random Shift Register sketch. The Reaktor macro is calibrated for the ArdCore which only goes from 0 to 5V. The 8nu8r goes past 7V, so that's why the LEDs wrap around. This macro can be used as an ArdCore expander by using the ES-3's outputs as triggers or gates."

"Came across the basis of this patch while skimming through the presets on my current patch. The preset manager is full of surprises, sometimes bad, but this one was prettty good to start with."

"I have changed the original Cat SRM documents to match two different units that I have examined. Hopefully these new docs can serve as an alternate reference for anyone fixing or modifying an Octave Cat SRM."
