Strange Trills: Interval Expansion

Published on Jan 9, 2019

"This video builds on the 'FM Trills' video. [posted hear]

We already discussed using a series of clock pulses to an Exponential FM input to create a trill, as well as using individual gate events from the sequencer to turn the trill on and off for particular steps via a VCA.

Now we will build on this concept by using a second VCA to dynamically change the trill’s interval."

Historic Moog Modular Coming to Bob Moog Foundation Booth at NAMM 2019

Update: the original image I had on top appears to actually be an EMU modular. Thanks to Malte Steiner in the comments for catching it. I moved the image below for reference and moved the image of the current owner Walter Holland on top. I also added an image of Don Preston with the Moog system in 1975.

"We are excited to announce our return to the 2019 NAMM Show with an expanded booth presence celebrating our recently launched endeavor, the Moogseum. We will have two adjoining booths, 10310 and 10409, for the Foundation and Moogseum respectively, located in Hall A, the synthesizer section of the NAMM floor, with our friends from KORG, Casio, and Roland nearby.

As part of our Moogseum exhibit, and continuing our tradition of featuring unique, expansive Moog modular synthesizers, the Moogseum booth will be hosting a historic 1967 modular system previously owned by both Patrick Gleeson of Different Fur Studios and Don Preston of The Mothers of Invention. Both Gleeson and Preston will appear at the booth on Friday, January 25th, to pay homage to the synthesizer that helped shape their careers.

The modular is currently owned by Walter Holland of lauded Holland Synthesizers, designers of custom aerospace quality audio equipment. Holland and his musical partner Steve Leonard, keyboardist for The Cretones, will be demonstrating the synthesizer throughout the weekend.Holland’s monolithic four-tiered modular includes three prototype modules created by R.A. Moog, Co. in the late 1960s, making it a truly one-of-a-kind system."

(OB-6) Steve Reich: "Six Oberheims"

Published on Jan 8, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Reich's 'Six Pianos', here performed on the OB-6 (x6). Wonderful piece of music - in my opinion even better on 6 synths than 6 pianos. So much more life can be brought to the music through filter sweeps etc.

Lots of time spent on this arrangement/performance - but worth the work. When heard on the Obi, it is easy to forget this piece was composed over 45 years ago. It sounds as if it were written yesterday!

PS dynamic variation is not through altering the volume; it is a product of filter/resonance sweeping.

The photo I took on the Humber Bridge. Worth a walk across if you are ever in the area. Much like this piece of music, it is a large, complex, imposing structure. With great views :)

Enjoy & all best
Kris"
