Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - EARS - Album Teaser

Published on Jan 26, 2016 Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

https://soundcloud.com/western_vinyl/kaitlyn-aurelia-smith

"Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith will release EARS, her newest album of vibrant synthesizer explorations mixed with orchestral instruments and vocals, April 1st on Western Vinyl.

'In recording Ears, my intention is to take listeners on a sonic motion ride through a futuristic jungle. I am inspired by the works of Moebius and Miyazaki - in particular the film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind – and I wanted to play with visceral sounds that pull one between feelings of beauty and dissonance, chaos and order. My hope is that, on a straight through listen, in a darkened room, on a loud stereo, Ears will inspire a rich visual narrative in listeners' minds.'

You might remember Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith from previous posts here on MATRIXSYNTH. According to Kaitlyn, "My primary instrument is the buchla music easel, I also used on that track - an arp 2600, synthi, OSCar."

NAMM 2016 Roundup from CatSynth

CatSynth's final roundup of NAMM 2016 has gone up. You'll find it along with the rest on CatSynth here.

Pictured to the left is Make Noise's new little desktop synth. I had a chance to check it out myself at NAMM. It felt solid and as expected was making all sorts of sonic mayhem. Definitely one of the top tempting little boxes at NAMM.

It as well as other eurorack products at NAMM made me think of how overwhelming the modular world can be. Smaller systems like this are a fun way to hone in and focus on just what a cool little configuration can do. You can block everything else out and just get lost in the magic of that one little device, and when ready you can of course integrate it with a larger system through all the patch points.

Looking back at all the synth related gear, we are truly in a golden age of synthesis. It's pretty amazing.

"This is a fully analog monophonic synth that uses VCOs (much fatter sounding compared to DCOs or modeling and is what the real MiniMoog uses) it has three oscillators and features a Moog style 24db filter for those thick and creamy basses and leads. It also has a 12db filter for Oberheim SEM sounds."

Intellijel Cylonix Rainmaker in full random mode

Published on Jan 28, 2016 intellijel

"A constant sinewave is fed to the Rainmaker from an Atlantis module and then the wet/dry is turned up to full wet. I then trigger via the red button and by the external jack (using the mod vco on the Atlantis) to start randomizing all the parameter values on the Rainmaker. Later I change the randomize destination to different subsets.

There is a whole universe of sound to discover this way!! Be warned that you could get sucked into a time vortex."

"I am using the tone from a Serato Scratch Live control record and sending it to a Analogue Systems RS-35 as a pitch tracker and envelope follower to control various things on the synthesizer."
