Korg Volca Keys, Boss DR-55, Samplr

Published on Dec 10, 2014 DreamsOfWires

"I was messing around with Samplr on the iPad, and I felt like doing something very simple and minimal, so I decided to add the DR-55 and the Volca Keys and record them all completely dry (no effects). The DR-55's 'CSQ' output is driving the clock on the Volca."

Rhythmic Buchla Patch Dec 2014

Published on Dec 10, 2014 djangosfire

"Just finished building a DIY 258j - patched up a quick rhythmic patch in my Buchla 200e.

Modules used:

266e, 227e, 261e, 256e, 281e, 292e, 218e & 258j

The semi repeating, cyclic sequence created via 261e mod Osc into the 266e with a 281e used as a clock pulse,

Thanks for listening!

Ruby Red Waldorf Q+ Analog Filter Synthesizer

"One of the most exotic synthesizers ever made, and only ever made in small batches. The pinnacle of virtual analog + real analog. With 16 discrete real analog VCFs onboard, and apparently incredibly difficult to produce, this is an instrument that is likely never to be attempted again by a sane manufacturer.

The original Ruby Red Q+ was made at a time when Waldorf was on top of their game, before the company crashed and resurfaced in 2006 with the infamously buggy Q+ Phoenix version that lived a sketchy life before being discontinued permanently in 2010.

I am not sure how many Q+ were ever produced - maybe a couple hundred? I believe this is the 50th unit made based on serial number sticker & power-on display message. So again, a good unit made early on before Waldorf ran into problems.

This unit is very stable compared to my own experiences with later Phoenix units - no doubt the reason why the Ruby Reds are the more sought-after. Every now and then (especially after moving the synth around after extended periods of non-use) I have to run the onboard analog filter module (AFM) tests and tuning routine to get the VCFs nice and tight with each other, but after that it stays great.

Super exotic, super-unique sounding, and in super shape!"

Tristan Perich Releases “1-Bit Symphony” Reprint + Companion Art Book “0.01s”

"Celebrating the five-year reprint of 1-Bit Symphony, Tristan Perich releases companion art book: 0.01s: The First 1/100th Second of 1-Bit Symphony

In 2005, Tristan Perich’s 1-Bit Music was the first album released as a self-contained electronic circuit. His 2009 followup, 1-Bit Symphony, was called “sublime” by New York Press and rated “high-brow” and “brilliant” by New York Magazine, and quickly sold out its first pressing. To celebrate its 5-year anniversary, 1-Bit Symphony is back in stock in its original hardware format, now on Perich’s own imprint Physical Editions. In conjunction with the reprint, Perich is publishing 0.01s: The First 1/100th Second of 1-Bit Symphony, a conceptual art book that exposes the computational processes behind the album.

1-Bit Symphony is a dazzlingly low-fi electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. A complete electronic circuit utilizes on and off electrical pulses, synthesized by assembly code, to manifest data as sound. The Wall Street Journal wrote, “Its oscillations have an intense, hypnotic force and a surprising emotional depth.” The device treats electricity as a sonic medium, making an intimate connection between the materiality of hardware and the abstract logic of software.

0.01s, Perich's new companion to 1-Bit Symphony, is an impressive synthesis of art and computation in book form, giving a tangible mass to the code behinds its music. Digging even deeper into the basic operations of computation, 0.01s captures the inner workings of 1- Bit Symphony over the first hundredth of a second after it is switched on. In just 0.01 seconds, its processor executes 80,000 computational cycles, enough information to fill a 695-page book with austere tables of numbers and machine language, becoming a visual meditation on the internal mechanics of computation.
Tristan Perich's (New York) work is inspired by the aesthetic simplicity of math, physics and code. The WIRE Magazine describes his compositions as "an austere meeting of electronic and organic." His award winning work coupling 1-bit electronics with traditional forms in both music and visual art has been presented around the world, from Sonar and Ars Electronica to MoMA and bitforms gallery."
