Take Me To Your Modular: Exhibit at Mountain Oasis Festival This Weekend

"Take Me To Your Modular: Exhibit and Samoogarai design at #MtnOasis festival this weekend! Check out the details here: http://bit.ly/17Iujwt"

"The Bob Moog Foundation is proud to present Take Me to Your Modular, an intimate exhibit of three vintage modular synthesizers from the early days of contemporary synthesis. Take Me to Your Modular will be presented for the very first time at the 2013 Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit from October 25th-27th in the Diana Wortham Theater lobby, where the Foundation will also house Dr. Bob’s Interactive Sonic Experience, a setup of theremins and synthesizers for public exploration.

Highlighted in the exhibit will be a custom built Moog modular, featuring many modules from the early 1967 R.A. Moog company, an Aries 300, and an ARP 2600. The instruments are part of a new loan from UNC-Greensboro to the Bob Moog Foundation. With each system comes a fascinating story not only about the technology, but also about the technicians and end users. The exhibit was created to inform and inspire people about some the early iterations of modular synthesis, a technology upon which much of the music at the festival is rooted.

In conjunction with the exhibit, the Foundation is offering custom t-shirt featuring an image affectionately dubbed by the artist as the Samoogarai, a samurai robot figure made completely of synthesizer elements including modules, keys, knobs, and cables. The image was originally designed by Brooklyn based John Solomine of Spike Press and was a star at the SYNTH Art Show at Moogfest 2012.

Come visit the Take Me To Your Modular exhibit from 12-6pm at the Diana Wortham Theater lobby through the Mountain Oasis weekend. After the festival, we will be posting more information about each modular synthesizer. Please check the website for updates."

Shuffling Chaos Multiplier

Published on Oct 23, 2013 Modular Cult·13 videos

"An experiment in chaos. The 4ms Shuffling Clock Multiplier is clocked by a Yusynth LFO, which is in turn modulated by the stepped random output of my Enigma module (a Fibonacci LFSR). Please listen with headphones to make the most of the chaotic panning.

Thanks for watching!"

"Thank you to Karoke Version for permission to use their vocal tracks in my video. Initially I tried to program the vocals with DECTalk but it was unintelligible. All the toys were purchased from Goodwill and Value Village. I apologized for my failed attempt to turn Elmo and Teddy Ruxpin into Zombies. The premise was to have rejected toys cast aside by society turn into a couple of Zombies. As always I didn't have enough artistic abilities and time to complete this.
Toys used
Yamaha CX5M - organ
Casio SA-9 - saxophone and bass
Hard drives - drums
Elmo - Main Vocals
Teddy Ruxpin - Backing Vocals
Tomy Omnibot - Robot Voice
All the toys were hacked and are controlled by two PIC16F84A micro controllers and a bunch of L298N H-Bridges."
