Agitations: Post-Electronic Sounds

Oscillatorial Binnage - Woktones (from 'Agitations: Post-Electronic Sounds') ashford daisyak

Back in 2016, Daniel Wilson brought us Radionics Radio - An Album of Musical Radionic Thought Frequencies - Delawarr Multi-Oscillator (c.1962)

He now brings us Agitations: Post-Electronic Sounds. For this release, he is part of a quartet exploring "acoustic analogies for classical electronic soundmaking techniques." It was recorded entirely acoustically. The "CD edition contains the small booklet - 'A Primer on Post-Electronic Technique'. It's just received a large feature in Electronic Sound magazine and a glowing review in The Wire, linking the post-apocalyptic technology we use with the limitations forced upon us by the pandemic."

Above is a teaser video with the following description followed by a BandCamp embed:

"From Oscillatorial Binnage's 'Agitations: Post-Electronic Sounds' released February 2020 on the Sub Rosa label. An album of recordings made using electromagnetic force fields acting upon found/recycled objects in increasingly complex mechanical systems of cranks, pulleys, levers, tilts, jacks and gears.

Oscillatorial Binnage is a London-based electroacoustic improv quartet comprised of Fari Bradley, Toby Clarkson, Christopher J Weaver, and Daniel Wilson. Self-built instruments feature extensively, along with recycled objects, inharmonic and arbitrary microtonal tunings, and solar power.

Filmed here by Toby Clarkson using multiple cameras."

DSI Sequential PRO3 // Everything in Its Right Place (Radiohead Improvisation)

Dexba

"Yeah, that's right: I am playing the PRO3 with TWO hands and it got dark while I was playing!

Last night I started fooling around, when, by mistake, I fell into Everything in its right place, by Radiohead, just the initial set of chords, and I got lost.

I kept going, exploring emotions, thank also to the modulated Super Plate reverb and the enormous joy I get from playing with more than 3 fingers on the keyboard at the same time, ignoring the maximum paraphony, only for the good of voices stealing themselves, as once also said Ricky Tinez when he bought his PRO3.

This Sequential PRO 3 goes deep, screams with the open filter, and is always, always, as no other instrument is: creamy.

Here we go, with this somehow classical-feeling improvisation over one -in my opinion- of the best songs in modern history.

Enjoy!"

Bradley Telecom Model 2A Jitter & Hit Synthesizer Frequency Translation and Harmonic Distortion Module

via this auction

"Up for sale is a very rare and unique piece of test-equipment-cum-modular-synth, the Bradley Telecom Model 2A Jitter & Hit Synthesizer. This was made from the late 70's to the early 80's for those working on phone lines, and is basically an analog synth/noise generator that is designed to mimic common problems found in phone lines (noise, clicks, etc.) It has a sine oscillator, a modulation oscillator, various other modulation sources, an envelope that's more or less Attack/Decay with variable time ranges, a noise generator, etc. You can patch it using Banana cables (which i did with success with my Serge system) and features a proper 1/4" input & output.

It's quirky, glitchy & weird. RJd2 is allegedly a fan & user of several of these, and there's some videos of some in action with a quick Googling."

Polyend Tracker Sessions #3: Away from the studio

Miltos Schimatariotis

"First video for this season, but still with summer mood, although we are almost mid-September. For this third episode of my Polyend Tracker series I thought it could be a good idea to put together three mini songs I made during August, while I took some days off the studio. I decided to take the Tracker with me, to test it out during these days and see what I could do with it alone and just a pair of headphones. So I filled a 32gb SD card with lots of one-shots and added it in my backpack. I wouldn't consider these tracks fully polished or finished productions, after all, they are around 1 minute and a half each, but this time I wanted to focus more on the fun/creative side of things than the production quality. I hope you'll enjoy them, as well as the scenery!
I am back in the studio now, ready to prepare more material for the Tracker and of course, the Medusa so stay tuned!

Alex Pelly Video Synthesis Workshop

Perfect Circuit

"LA-based artist Alex Pelly has been working with live video for over a decade, and is now well-known for her work with video synthesis. From her work doing live visuals for musicians and other performers to her monthly Dublab show Pellyvision, she has a proven track record of producing intricate, captivating realtime imagery.

In this video workshop, Pelly walks us through the basics of analog video synthesis, from thoughts about planning a modular video synth system to the functions of individual modules. She covers modules by LZX Industries and Erogenous Tones extensively, showing how they can easily become the core of a video-oriented modular system. And by providing an extended tour of her personal system and a detailed patch walkthrough, she demonstrates some tactics for harnessing feedback, audio reactivity, and hands-on control to create colorful layers of video that dynamically evolve along with music.

Korg X911 Guitar Synth External Processing Demo

legionhwp

"This is a detailed Demo video on how to use the vintage korg X911 Guitar Synthesizer as an external processing unit. There are many demos of it doing what it's "supposed" to be for - as a mono guitar synthesizer, This video is different. I feed a Roland TR606 drum machine into the preset Synth and the filter sides of the unit as well as running it through it's paces using the "guitar", "distortion" and Synthe Wah sections. The resulting mayhem and freaknoise are music to my ears. I hope you enjoy.
