Workflow Song


Published on Aug 29, 2015 chisel316

"I call this little tune 'Workflow Song' because I made it while trying to come up with a workflow using my new gear. I usually don't even save these test songs, but I liked the way it sounded so I made a quick arrangement in Ableton Live and recorded it."

Love the aesthetic of these. It's kind of interesting when you think about it. With boutique synths usually the single maker designs the look of a give synth. Who designs the look of a synth for something like this?  I kind of miss the new look of synths.  Vermona has it going with the upcoming Vermona '14.  What happened to that one anyway?  It's not even on their product page.

"This is an almost brand new Korg Arp Odyssey. I purchased it to enter notes into Sibelius for writing music, but I have since gone to an 88-key Korg Kronos2 for the expanded keyboard width. It is basically unused - no more than five hours! It is ready to ship in original boxes. Comes with the manual and a hard case, which protects it very well for moving around..."

"This is a Roland JD-800 in nice, clean condition. Sounds fantastic & plays great. Perfect working order & no issues. Cosmetically: less than normal wear & light scratches on left end cheek, right front cheek, back edge, & bottom of synth. I consider it to be minimal & actually hard to find (please see photo's.) Included are Roland Brass Section data & waveform cards & the original AC cable."

"A Nebulophone stylus synth and Pico Paso light controlled stepped tone synth, both are brand new and have never been used. Being sold as a pair. Full details of each below or at http://bleeplabs.com

Nebulophone

The Nebulophone is an Arduino based synth with a stylus keyboard.
- Eight waveforms
- Light controlled analog low-pass filter with five adjustable LFO LED modes.
- Perfect tuning across six octaves.
- Adjustable temperament and key.
- HYPERNOISE 30XX mode.
- Six arpeggio modes with adjustable rate.
- Programmable sequencer to easily make your own arpeggios right on the Nebulophone.
- Adjustable portamento.
- Infrared communications allows multiple Nebulophones to easily communicate. More about IR-sync.
- Open-source Arduino code and hardware

How do you listen to it?
The Nebulophone has a 1/4″ mono output designed to be plugged it into any mixer, amp, USB interface, etc. Headphones will work but are not recommended.

Are the keys touch sensitive?
The alligator clip must be used to trigger the keys. You can also wire the key pads to switches as some makers have done.

Pico Paso

The Pico Paso is an analog, light controlled, stepped tone noise synthesizer designed by Dr. Bleep.

It’s based on the concept of the Atari Punk synth, aka Forrest Mims’ stepped tone generator, but uses two triangle wave oscillators that can be combined or used separately. A wave shaper and square wave LFO are used to increase the aural ridiculousness.

How do you listen to it?
The Pico Paso has a 1/4″ mono output designed to be plugged it into any mixer, amp, USB interface, etc. Headphones will not work.

What are the SQU1 and 2 pads between the buttons for?
These are the square wave outputs of the main oscillators, allowing makers to use these signals along with the triangle waves. See the schematics for more info."

Barry Schrader CalArts Farewell Concert Set for Saturday, September 26



Broadcast live streaming video on Ustream
Update: live stream from ROD Webcast added above. Interview with Barry here.


Barry Schrader, one of the founders of the early electronic music scene at CalArts School of Music is retiring after 45 years. Many of you will remember him from previous posts here on MATRIXSYNTH. Here he is with a Buchla 500 in CalArts' studio B-304, along with Morton Subotnick and John Payne. If you are in the area, you do not want to miss this event. This is a chance to see one of the founders of our scene perform live. For those not in the area, the concert will be available on the live ROD Webcast. I hope to have an extensive interview with Barry Schrader in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for that as well.

"Active in the promotion of electro-acoustic music, Schrader is the founder and the first president of SEAMUS (Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States). He has been involved with the inauguration and operation of several performance series such as SCREAM (Southern California Resource for Electro-Acoustic Music), the Currents concert series at Theatre Vanguard (the first ongoing series of electro-acoustic music concerts in the U.S.), and the CalArts Electro-Acoustic Music Marathon. He has written for several publications including The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Grolier’s Encyclopedia, Contemporary Music Review, and Journal SEAMUS, and is the author of the book Introduction to Electro-Acoustic Music."

via Barry Schrader:

"After what will have been 45 years on the faculty of the CalArts School of Music, I've decided to retire at the end of this academic year. Starting as a graduate student at CalArts in 1970, I was hired on the faculty by Mel Powell, then the Dean of the School of Music, in 1971. It’s been an incredible adventure to have experienced the evolution of the school from its beginnings at the temporary Burbank Villa Cabrini campus to its current incarnation as The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts. Along the way I’ve been fortunate to have had superb composers and performers as colleagues and friends, a host of talented students, and also to have met and worked with many brilliant people in various areas of the arts throughout the world.

To mark my retirement from CalArts, I’ve decided to present a farewell concert containing a variety of works from a forty-year period. This program will be held on Saturday, September 26, at 8:00 pm in CalArts’ Roy O. Disney Hall. Admission is free, and there will be a reception following the concert. I’ll also be giving away a limited number of my CDs to those that attend the event.

The concert will feature Mark Menzies on violin playing Fallen Sparrow, and Vicki Ray on piano performing Ravel. Also on the concert will be the original quadraphonic version of Trinity, along with short sections of Monkey King and The Barnum Museum. Adam Beckett’s groundbreaking 1973 film Heavy-Light will be shown, along with Michael Scroggins’ early computer video, 1921>1989.

For those that wish to hear and view the concert online, it will be available live on the live ROD Webcast."
