Minilogue Does Its Magic

"I was working on this PianoKLNG patch (for the new sound pack I'm preparing) - when this theme popped up.
I recorded the piano sound first and overdubbed the synth pad sound after.

Symbiote

Published on Jul 21, 2017 Comparative Irrelevance

"A quick little jam, playing around with integrating my Sub Phatty with the modular. I absolutely love the round, punchy sounds of the Phatty, but it obviously lacks the sequencer of its bigger brother. No problem at all when you have a little eurorack at hand!

Here are some abbreviated patch notes (not going too deep into this one, there's nothing particularly out-of-the-ordinary going on here. If you have any questions about the patch, leave them in the comments!):

In the rack:
Braids and Rings are both sequenced by the Sum output from Maths' cycling functions. You may have seen me play around with that concept in the 3 Modules series. Here, without any module restrictions, I've expanded on it a little: The Sum output is sent through Noise Tools' S&H, and then into the µScale. One output from µScale is sent to Braids, and the other (which is transposed via the Shift input) is sent to Rings.

Branches is used to make some gaps in between the sequence triggers, creating some space in the arrangement.

The outputs from the sound sources are mixed together, and then processed with Clouds at the end of the chain. Clouds' is in the default mode.

Sub Phatty:
The SP is being sequenced by the Brain Seed, which is clocked by the Noise Tools. The same clock signal is used to drive everything in the rack as well, so everything is nicely synced up.

Thank you for watching!"

An Interview with Barry Schrader Questions 6F: The Barnum Museum & 7 Current State of Synths

The final two questions in my interview with Barry Schrader are now live. Barry discusses what may be his magnum opus, The Barnum Museum, followed by his take on the current state of synthesizers. There are some tie ins to his previous work on Atlantis as well as Louis and Bebe Barron.

"If someone were to ask me what I considered to be my best work, there’s no question in my mind that I would respond that it’s The Barnum Museum. Taken as a whole, this is my longest and most ambitious composition, and one that took me four years to compose. At this time, it remains my last completed work.

The idea for The Barnum Museum came from a short story by one of my favorite living authors, Steven Millhauser. Millhauser is a unique writer, and, so, difficult to classify. He’s been compared to such authors as Calvino and Borges, as well as other writers classified as “magical realists,” but I think he’s in a class by himself. The Barnum Museum is a short story in a collection with the same title. I was fortunate to get permission from Millhauser and his agents to base the work on his story. I was especially lucky that Millhauser agreed to a years-long email correspondence about the work: I would send each movement to him as I finished it and he would comment on the work and my ideas behind it. This was invaluable help in my completing the piece.

P. T. Barnum established two museums in New York City in the nineteenth century. Barnum's American Museum was on the corner of Broadway and Ann Street from January 1, 1842 to July 13, 1865 when it burned to the ground. Barnum built a second museum soon after, but it was also destroyed by fire in 1868. The attractions made the venue a combination of a zoo, museum, lecture hall, wax museum, theatre, and freak show. At its peak, the museum was open fifteen hours a day and had as many as fifteen thousand visitors daily."
