Dorkus-18 Eurorack modular synthesiser patch

Published on Feb 2, 2016 Luke Killen

"This pretty patch sees a Mannequins Mangrove VCO modulated by a Abstrakt Data ADE32 and then filtered through a Sputnik Quad VCF/VCA (in VCF mode) with a Frequency Central X envelope acting as the VCA envelope and as modulation for the VCF. The 'plink' is a Mutable Instruments Rings being modulated from a variety of sources including the Absract Data ADE32 and 4ms PEG. It is being strummed by a SSF Propagate and the 1v/oct melody is from a Make noise Rene. The kick is from a mutable Instruments Peaks, the Snare is from a Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteratus, and the bass drop is from an EG modulated peaks in 'Fold' mode."

Caterina Barbieri - Vertical

Published on Jan 3, 2015 caterina barbieri

This one in via IMPREC. Recorded entirely on a Buchla 200. There is a chance there will be an LP pressing in the future.

"From Caterina Barbieri's debut album Vertical (Important Records/Cassauna, 8 October 2014) composed for Buchla modular synthesizer and vocals.

Vertical originates from a meditation on primary waveforms and the polyrhythmic dancing of harmonics in synthetic sounds, stylized in severe architectures of time and space, on the boundary between drone, minimalism and techno in multichannel listening environments. This minimalistic focus arises from the exploration of the stratigraphic potential of voltage-controlled synthesizers, in terms of polyrhythm and polyphony.

"Vertical is Caterina Barbieri's debut album and it was composed for vocals and Buchla 200 modular synthesizer.
Vertical takes a meditative approach to primary waveforms and the polyrhythm of harmonics, stretching the boundaries between drone, minimalism and techno in multichannel systems. This minimalistic focus arises from the polyrhythmic and stratigraphic potential of voltage-controlled sequencers.

Synthesis, drone and immersive listening are three fundamental conditions to enhance an advanced auditory art, not based on extrinsic links but solely built on the experience of the spectrum, able to develop our very limited ability of perceiving the vertical domain of music, involving us in a holistic way.
Caterina Barbieri (1990) is a composer and performer of electro-acoustic music. Mostly interested in modular synthesis, three-dimensional spatialisation and psychoacoustic aural sculpture, her music arises from a meditative approach to primary waveforms and the polyrhythm of harmonics..

She received a degree in classical guitar and electro-acoustic music at the conservatory of Bologna, Italy (plus an exchange programme at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sweden) with a thesis about time, space and spectrum in vertical music. She's currently attending a bachelor in literature and she's active as audiovisual artist, acousmatic composer and guitarist. Her work has been commissioned and performed in festivals and venues of experimental music."

EMS Synthi-100 Concert Set for Saturday 23 April 2016 in Melbourne Australia

via the Melbourne Recital Center

"A first ever live Synthi-100 concert experience

Melbourne Conservatorium of Music’s emeritus tonmeister Les Craythorn will join performance staff for a first ever live Synthi-100 concert experience, including a reconstruction of ground-breaking music by Percy Grainger, which has been immortalised in the beautifully carved walls of the Salon.

The Synthi-100 is best known for the ethereal sounds behind the Doctor Who theme music and was delivered to the university from London in March 1973. The Synthi-100 is one of only 30 made in the world and following recent restoration by Les Craythorn, is one of just three that have been restored to original working condition. The Synthi-100 became the centerpiece of the Conservatorium’s electronic music studio and was used to create Electronic Music, a vinyl LP released by the university in 1975, which was edited by Les Craythorn. The record includes ground-breaking work by Peter Tahourdin, Three Mobiles, featuring ocean-like wave noises, rapid-fire beeps and UFO sounds.

Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre and Melbourne Conservatorium of Music"

DreamsOfWires - watching the world go by Pt1 (Nave - iPad)

Published on Jan 23, 2016 DreamsOfWires

iTunes: Nave - Waldorf Music

"Original, more minimalistic version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUVOK...
Another recording using sounds created in Nave, which were made from mundane household objects. I like this kind of synthesis; apart from the degree of involvement and personalization it allows in the sound creation process, just making music with anything laying around that is capable of making a noise is rather satisfying. This is partly because it negates the need for expensive gadgets (excluding the iPad), but also because it reminds me of the early pioneers of electronic music, such as the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and the way they produced other-worldly music using 'found sounds'. The only difference is that nowadays any idiot can do it, myself being a good example.
Musicians:
Piano - Wooden spoon hitting a glass bowl
Drone - Old computer fan
Recorded entirely within Nave over 2 tracks using it's built-in effects and 'Tape' recorder.
Video is of recent travels."

DreamsOfWires - watching the world go by Pt2 (Nave & iPad)

Published on Feb 2, 2016 DreamsOfWires

"Part 2 of 3. This is also two layers recorded entirely within Nave, but using Beatmaker 2's sequencer - I wanted to try to compose something note-by-note in Midi, like I did back in the early 2000's when I didn't even own a Midi keyboard, just a sequencer and some softsynths. It was slow-going back then.
The video is a continuation of the journey from Pt1; in this case some views of Newcastle and it's bridges.
All sounds created from scratch by me."

Part 3 to follow.
