KORG Volca+Roland MC-303+x0xb0x(Garden Live)

Published on Oct 28, 2013 電子音屋ヨクシー·41 videos

"今回は屋外でセットを組んでみました。晴れた日に外でプレイするのも気分がいいですね­☆
新たな試みを是非ご覧下さい。

Volca Bassの3VCOによる分厚いベースラインと、MC-303の鋭いグルーヴに
Volca Keysのメロウなリフを乗せて聴き心地良く仕上げました。
当然、x0xb0xの強力なアシッド・フレーズも健在ですよ！！

I made a set outdoors this time.
It is comfortable to play outside on the day when it was fine.
Look at a new trial by all means.
In a sharp groove of thick baseline and MC-303 by 3VCO of Volca Bass
I picked up the riff that was melodious of Volca Keys and listened and it was comfortable and finished it.
Naturally the strong acid phrase of x0xb0x is in good health!

Huge thanks to retrotechnical for posting this. I wasn't sure if I was going to have the opportunity to post something on Lou Reed's passing. This site is synths only after all.

As most of you know, Lou Reed passed away yesterday at the age of 71. He wasn't a synth freak, but he was known to play the Haken Continuum. He was also referred to in various posts on the site.

Lou Reed was one of my favorite artists and his tracks specifically with The Velvet Underground marked some pivotal moments in my life. His music more than anyone else taught me to be open and tolerant of alternative lifestyles. I was into alternative music in the classic 80s sense, but the whole purpose which began as "Taking a Walk on the Wild Side" turned into so much more.  His music wasn't wild.  It wasn't about glorifying the alternative.  It was about the calm, peace and acceptance of what some might perceive as strange.  It was just life and he made living life better.  I will miss him and his music.

You'll find a great interview with Lou Reed by Neil Gaiman here.

Update:  Lou Reed was married to Laurie Anderson who of course is a big synth buff and has been featured here on MATRIXSYNTH numerous times.  Sincere condolences to her and his friends and family.

Monochromies

Published on Oct 27, 2013 RADIOKLOW·93 videos

"Monochromies is a musical and visual meditation on the notion of color, composed for Virus TI. The idea of monochrome is very often associated to a single color considered in itself as the substance of a painting, since Yves Klein invented his famous blue and used it constantly in reference to cosmos and alchemy. But this conception is not aware that a genuine monochrome is far more than a unique tone and Yves Klein who was initiated to the secrets of color as well as alchemy perfectly knew it. Behind the visible radiance of a his symbolical atmospheric blue, all the dimensions of the spectrum are gathered in a composition of their different values, forming the specific vibration of the cosmic substance this artist invented. Such a strange phenomenon is not only poetry or the sign of an ancient belief conveyed into a kind of painter's mysticism, but also a physical reality. Every color radiates through the others and produces the specific aura of each of them. As an alchemist wrote about the philosophical stone " It has every color, white, red, yellow, blue sky, green", is also true in the filed of music since colors and sounds are two expressions of the same basic reality. In this piece, I try to explore it by a combination of music and visual events, divided into four moments, each one corresponding to an element, but also according to a process in three dimensions plus one (space and time, sides of the triangle and their blossom in a final fourth absolute form in which the distinct lines and angles finally unite. These different moments are also successive enters into the core of the universe mystery through musical and visual doors (this is why I used the noise of a genuine door in the third enter, in association with the sounds of the Virus TI, from 6:27 to 7:52). Each door leads to a deeper vision until the piece reaches its end in the suspension of the enigma, close to its revelation, but a few steps before it since we can just go on the border but never cross it. The only knowledge we are allowed to reach being the intuition of the other side through our journey of impossible discovery.

Lumanoise Ready to Ship

via Lumanoise

"The Lumanoise is a simple electronic circuit, based on square-wave oscillators, sawtooth and sine.

The pitch of these oscillators is controlled by the amount of light it receives througha photoresistor, the most 'is the light, the more' pitch will be high.


The first circuit model used was the Micro_noise, designed by the Swiss Union DIY Make Away, 4093, based on the chip.
 Later versions have been developed based on the original 40106 and 4040 chips specifically for live Megatsunami."

Great pics of the wood grain matching up to the artwork.

Yamaha CP-70 with Strymon Mobius, TimeLine and Big Sky Improv

Published on Oct 28, 2013 zibbybone·131 videos

"I had my Strymon pedals hooked up to my Yamaha CP-70 electric grand piano this weekend and spent a couple of hours noodling away. Here's a rough (my keyboard skills leave much to be desired) improv of part of my noodles. The Mobius is set to chorus, the TimeLine set to pattern delay and Big Sky set to Shimmer."
