Thomas Dimuzio & Buchla Modular [Episode 157]

Published on Jul 9, 2019 CatSynth TV

"While filming the rehearsal Polly Moller Springhorn's Tomography Fortunae, we had a chance to talk with Thomas Dimuzio about the Buchla modular synthesizer he will be using in the performance. His system is based around modules from the Buchla 200e system (including 259e and 258e oscillators and an FM radio tuner) along with clones by Mark Verbos and Mike Peak.

Tomography Fortunae will be premiered at the Outsound New Music Summit on July 26, 2019, at the Community Music Center, 544 Capp Street, San Francisco. (Pre-concert talk at 7:30PM, show at 8PM.)

From thomasdimuzio.com:
'omposer, collaborator, experimental electronic musician, multi-instrumentalist, improvisor, sound designer and mastering engineer - Dimuzio has been busy doing his thing(s) since the late 1980's, but is still only known to a small circle of electronic music enthusiasts. A true sonic alchemist who can seemingly create music events out of almost anything, Dimuzio's listed sound sources on his various releases include everything from "modified 10 speed bicycle" and "resonating water pipe" to short-wave radios, field recordings, loops, samplers and even normal instruments such as clarinet and trumpet. And while his wide range of musical interests make it impossible to pin a label on him, Dimuzio clearly has an insider's knowledge of older experimental musical forms such as musique concrete and electroacoustic, as well as more current dark ambient, noise and post-techno styles.'

Background music by Amanda Chaudhary, using the FM tuner on the KOMA Field Kit, Arturia Buchla Easel V software synthesizer, and EastWest concrete tank reverb."

Synth Rorschach #65: Bunker Modules!

Another one in via bÖsch

"@matrixsynth mixing room with plugins on the wall"

Indeed. My first thought was giant 500 format modules. Then I thought eurorack or DIY modules of course. The top sections which I'm guessing are vents, look like labels for the modules. The bottom look like patch sockets. The first three "modules" remind me of complex oscillators, followed by a mixer, followed by filters or modulators. The desk section reminds me of a control section with additional patch points, sliders, knobs, and various controls. How cool is that. This one takes the cake.

Synth Rorschach #64: Moon Rocks

Where does NASA keep the Moon Rocks? - Smarter Every Day 220 Published on Jul 9, 2019 SmarterEveryDay

The source of Formant knobs. Moon rocks!

OK, this one is a bit of stretch, but when I saw the small thumbnail for this video on YouTube, my first thought was, "did SmarterEveryDay do a video on modular synths?!". For a split second I thought that was a Formant modular in the background. In the larger still above it now reminds me of square Mattson Mini Modular panels with Formant knobs.

Koala Sampler | iPhone Pocket Operator? - haQ attaQ

Published on Jul 9, 2019 Jakob Haq

"Elf Audio's Koala Sampler for iPhone and iPad, is a sampler app that in many ways resembles a Pocket Operator. Koala Sampler has a sleek looking interface that is straightforward and easy to work with. Apart from the basic sampling features, it also adds some very nice no-hassle resampling options. And on top of that it also comes with global effects including stutter, rhythmic gating, reverb and tempo delay to name a few, stuff one wants to have access to when performing live. Check this out!"
