ART OF SAMPLING : JJ JECZALIK LIBRARY on a Fairlight CMI

Published on Feb 16, 2019 100 Things I Do

"I started filming this one using the Ensoniq Mirage but I knew if I released this clip in that form all I would get is questions as to why I did not use the Fairlight!

So here it is, playing with some of the sounds from JJ Jeczalik's art of sampling! I used to listen to the Art of Noise records back in the 80's with wonder of how magical and unaffordable the Fairlight CMI was... I never expected to own one!

You can still get the sample set on line and licensed for use if you search around enough."

Doepfer A-105-4 Quad Poly SSI VCF

Published on Feb 16, 2019 Let's Listen

"A simple demo of the Doepfer A-105-4 Quad Poly SSI VCF module. No talking, just listening."

Voyager (Buchla Music Easel and friends)

Published on Feb 16, 2019 Nicholas Doyle

"I recorded this video over a year ago but just realized it's worth sharing.

A simple piece focusing on the Buchla Music Easel 208/218 combo with some help from a 259, 281, 292, and 266 for a background drone and some outboard reverb.

This started out as an experiment to try some new reverb techniques but turned out super pleasing as a whole.

My system has changed quite a bit since this video. The 208 was a lender and I've since returned it. I've made up for that with a slew of other 200 modules. Hopefully I'll be able to show them off in a video soon."
