Live techno on a wall of test equipment

HAINBACH

"In this video I detail the process of trying to make my wall of test equipment playable for a live streaming show.

The instrument I assembled out of parts not meant to be used for music but rather as science and engineering tools has grown huge over the past year. I feel confident to compose with it, but playing live is a whole new challenge. Super/Collider asked me to perform a live stream and I immediately thought of challenging myself to play this heavy wall of sound, proto-techno style.

I go over what instruments are in the wall, how the routing works, how I use tape and guitar pedal FX, as well talking about my camera setup for live streaming."

Three New Modules

juanito moore

"Last week's hardware challenge was to use new hardware, so JUST IN TIME for last weekend, here's my three newest modules.

The 'clouds' sound and some of the chord sounds are coming from my new Mutable Instruments Braids (very DIY) modules. The blinking lights create that weird chirping noise, and of course there's goofy reverb goodness going on too.

Here's the Razmasynth Super Warp Generator that inspired my seven-LED chirper module: https://www.razmasynth.com/io/SuperWa..."

Synthstrom Deluge - Nova

Payton Carter

"Deluge track #3! Was trying to go for a subdued and hazy sound at the beginning. I'm really starting to appreciate the built-in synth engine. It has a nice character that lends itself to some really pleasant tones. All synth patches here (except the bass and one of the arps) are self-made. Drums are from one of the stock kits.

Bleep Labs' New intro to Arduino Course - "Creating light and sound"

Bleep Labs

"Bleep Labs' new online dadageek course, 'Creating Light and Sound' starts Sept 21st. This time we’ll learn how to code in the Arduino platform using a 8x8 RGB LED screen, accelerometer, touch sensors, and more, all with the powerful Teesny 3.2. Sign up now for 20% off.
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/intro-to...

Here’s a quick video showing what you can do with the solder free kit that’s included in the cost of the course.
It’s tricky to shoot video of these bright LEDs but they look great in person.

The first and last sections are a generative device which creates random-ish arpeggios and changing colors to go with them. Controls changes filters, colors, delay feedback, and the rate of the arpeggio. The audio is coming straight from the device.

In the second section a simple bitmap scrolls and loops. Colors are scroll speed are controlled with the knobs. Rather than creating sound directly this one sends MIDI notes and CCs to VCV rack.

In the third section two bouncing balls are simulated with random notes chosen each time they hit the wall. Of course there is also a tape delay effect. All sounds generated by the device.

Check out the code for these devices here. https://github.com/BleepLabs/dadageek...

When you take the class you get seven, three hour sessions in a class that is capped at fourteen students. The class is also just the beginning. I encourage my students to keep contacting me with their questions and ideas long after the class is done.
