Atari Junk w Alphabet Soup Deluxe

Published on Aug 5, 2014 ISOTROPOSPHERE

"Synthrotek Atari Junk kit built and custom enclosed by me.

Alphabet Soup Deluxe is a circuit bent creation of my own experimentation with some junk electronics from the trash.

The Atari junk is being fed to the modular and multed (split) through several paths and effects. Some paths return to the mixer and get reverb added and one passes through the Korg KP3 returning to a mixer channel with no effects.

The Alphabet Soup Deluxe (first one I built is named Alphabet Soup) is a circuit bent creation housed in a data disc box which is a circuit that came from a child's play mat. This unit expands on the bends I found with the first unit by adding all available samples to the controls of the device.

I like the Atari junk kit from Synthrotek and look forward to them making that circuit into a module for eurorack. It is capable of all of those sweet 8 bit sounds and more, I just haven't found the best way to gate it for recording. The case was a donation from a friend and was looking really sweet until the clearcoat finish lifted my paint and started to eat my press type text. I wasn't about to do it all over so it is what it is and I am happy with it.

Enjoy!!!"

Modular Synth Jam w Kaleidoloop

Published on Aug 5, 2014 ISOTROPOSPHERE

"DFMZ modular synth jam with Critter and Guitari Kaleidoloop.

This is a little tribute of sorts to the modular synth video posting frenzy known as Ebotronix and his channel.

Initial sounds are from the Kaleidoloop (blue box with stickers all over it) then I add the Melody Mill (seq controlling oscillator) which goes to the Rare waves formant filter. Various other low groans and sequences are being generated with the modular including the steel type drum sounds.

Sort of a video diary of the current state of the DFMZ studio modular and the selection of module within the two main large cabinets and two skiffs up front. All cases built by me and painted in an homage to the Technosaurus design.

Not appearing here but in other videos are my two suitcase modular synths also built by me, housing eurorack modules and the Technosaurus small wonders series complete. I dub the Technosaurus suitcase the Technosaurus 2100 for the chrome numbers on the faceplate designating the specific synths.

Most of what the Kaleidoloop is generating are samples from a session with my circuit bent TI Speak and Spell. The K-loop is running through the samples as in start mode and is set to normal (unchanged), original sample pitch.

Enjoy!!! Visit the Ebotronix channel for cool modular and vintage equipment jams."

Atomic Shadow Mobile Command Center Test

Mobile Command Center Test from Atomic Shadow on Vimeo.

"This is a live in the studio test of the Mobile Command Center, a system that I have been putting together for performing live.

There are 5 sound sources. Two transistor sine/square wave generators, an EMW-200 mini synth, Korg Kaoss KP-2 and a Roland MC-404sx.

Each source is processed by a dedicated effects unit. The effects include a POD HD500, Zoom G3, Lexicon Vortex, Moog ring modulator and Strymon El Capistan.

Blinky lights added for visual interest."

"Vintage PPG sounds and a classicTR909 beat - what can go wrong? The bassline is PPG, but the track is made with NI Machine sounds and some custom reverb tail samples"

"An energized interpretation of Erik's sprawling multi-part suite from "The Galactic Collective," this version of "The Dark Water" has especially great interaction between the musicians. Performed live at "A Tribute to Dr. Bob - A Benefit for Dr. Bob's SoundSchool and the Bob Moog Foundation" on May 8, 2014 along with Jeff Kollman (g), Mark Matthews (b) and Nick LePar (d).

Erik plays the rare Moog Apollo synthesizer on loan from the Bob Moog Foundation for this concert. The Apollo is featured at 16:40 and 18:45.

Duet No.4 for Synthesizer and The Singing Ringing Tree

Published on Aug 4, 2014 John Keston

"This is the fourth selection from takes during a five day recording session and performance series at the Singing Ringing Tree (SRT) in Burnley, UK, a wind activated musical panopticon in Northern England. The sculpture was designed by architects Tonkin Liu and completed in December 2006. I performed accompaniment for the SRT binaural recordings simultaneously using a Novation Bass Station II connected to a USB battery. I also ran the Bass Station II through a Moog Minifooger Delay.

NOTE: This is a binaural recording combined with a monophonic synthesizer track. Although it sounds great through speakers, circumaural headphones must be used to experience the binaural effect."
