Ace Waters - Synths and Bells
Kyle Von Lanken - Guitars
Jeffrey James - Vocals and such

This is the fourth video in a five part series titled layers. Everything in this series was created using layers, thus the title. Kyle started this one off with the guitar part, which was then sent to Jeff who added some wonderful, layered, looped vocals. Then Ace took it and added some synth sounds, bass, and some bells. The first tracks, or the theme of the song, was inspired by a short story concept that Ace thought up. Then, once each song was complete, Ace would listen to the song and write that part of the story, allowing the story to inspire the song, which then inspires the story. Everything, coming together in Layers. Each song title is based on a really cool word.

Pt. IV: Gokotta

The dreams swirled in brilliant patterns, dancing through my mind. But somewhere, deep within my thoughts, came a clear voice, telling me to wake. When my eyes finally opened, I could see the sun, pouring in through the opening to the cave. There was a purpose for my waking. It was as if I knew I needed to wake for this. It was sort of deliberate and subliminal wake up call.

I could hear the birds, calling me outward. I rose slowly and made my way into the morning light. It was blinding at first. I looked out, eyes squinting, at the horizon. I could barely tell where the ocean ended and the sky began. The sun hung low in the sky, slowly climbing up in the morning sky.

The night before this place was a nightmare of sharp jagged rocks and stinging sea water. I would have never thought it to be the same place that I stood now. The rocks were decorated with beautiful colors and patterns. The pools full of life. The bird cheered from the trees, high above me on the cliffs.

Everything had changed. Yet, nothing had changed. I stood not a mile from this spot the day previous, staring out at this same ocean. Yet I cared not for the sounds of the birds and the waves or the artwork of the cliffs.

I had to be broken to be fixed.
I had to be wounded to be healed.
It was not the coast that had changed, it was me.

And now, I was ready."

Korg PS 3200 + Keyboard For Sale

via MATRIXSYNTH CLASSIFIEDS

"Up for sale is the rare Korg PS 3200 Synthesizer from 1978.
The PS 3X00 series from Korg was made for the professional market and most of the units were sold to well known artists.

There are not many around for sale these days so here is the rare chance to get hold of a specimen in excellent fully refurbished and overhauled condition.

The synth up for sale is in very good shape but has some wear around the original wood panels.
We decided to leave the panels as they are cause we think it is better to leave it original.

After a full recap with high grade capacitors you are able to hear the full beauty of the PS 3200 sound.

The difference after the service was quite impressive and we can say that the PS 3200 is one of the best sounding analog synths around.

The PS 3200 up for sale has been faithfully refurbished in countless hours by Elektroakustik Wagner.
This particular specimen is probably one of the best you’ll find for sale today.
The sound of this beast after restoration is just breathtaking.

- The unit has been fully recapped with high grade Panasonic capacitors
- The power supply has been fully recapped with updated high grade Vishay capacitors
- All potentiometer have been thoroughly cleaned and treaded
- Contact service on all connectors, switches and jacks
- Professional cleaning in and outside
- Exact calibration of the unit after Korg service notes"

Three Moons To My Eye

Three Moons To My Eye from Atomic Shadow on Vimeo.

"This piece is built around two tracks that were processed and edited to DVDs. The audio was used to trigger some iOS metering apps that I shot with a small camera. Then I hooked hp my DVD players and ran the video to my Command Center video monitors and shot this video.

The sounds were made with the large format modular synthesizer as a sound generator and a processor, sine wave machines (as always), recordings of styrofoam, and loops of processed vocals that are performed on an SP404 sampler."
