Runningonair - Cocktail Hour

"This is a new track from the below compilation. Please consider buying a copy to support a good cause.

"ISOLATION AND REJECTION is a multi-volume compilation of rejected sounds.

Vol 4 (of 5) is released this September on Front & Follow, in support of The Brick in Wigan.

It features the likes of Howlround, Graham Reznick, Revbjelde, Rupert Lally, Daphnellc, Daniel Crompton, Stellarays, Giant Head, Xqui and more.

ISOLATION AND REJECTION was born out of thinking about what happened to all the tracks that didn’t make it onto those fancy compilations (you know the ones), and is now turning into a larger-than-planned project to collect, collate and promote rejected sounds. This is not an isolation project – it’s a rejection project.

We asked artists:

Did you get rejected from that compilation?
Did you send something somewhere, and then nothing happened?
Did that one weird track not quite fit on the new album?
Did you lose that guaranteed hit in the (actual or virtual) loft and have just stumbled across it?
Well this is the compilation for you!

With over 100 artists signed up, we are releasing five volumes from June to October 2020. Each volume showcases those lost gems, discarded and abandoned but now lovingly embraced and put front and centre for your enjoyment. We’re also sharing the stories behind the rejection – funny, weird and sometimes a little heart breaking.

All income raised is going to The Brick in Wigan – a fantastic charity on the front line of supporting those most in need, seeking to address the inequalities across our country exacerbated by COVID-19, but there all along. So far we’ve raised over £1,800.

Artists contributing to the series include Time Attendant, Howlround, Dolly Dolly, Cahn Ingold Prelog, Alison Cotton, Farmer Glitch, Rupert Lally, Sone Institute, The Declining Winter, TVO, Ekoplekz, Kemper Norton, Boobs of Doom, Grey Frequency, Elizabeth Joan Kelly, Thomas Ragsdale and many many more. Some you will know and some maybe you won’t.

Low pH - Supercritical Neutron Flux Filter

Supercritical Synthesizers

"Have a look at my mini case! I built this 58hp 6U case by myself and tried to build as efficient setup as possible. Upper row is a greatest hits platter of self-built digital SMD excercises and the lower portion handles the Supercritical stuff.

Here I do some sour stuff. I’ve hacked some old Ornaments & Crime beta version to have the awesome Logarhythm 303 random sequencer. The envelopes for the filter are provided by a tiny Peaks, Kick by another one. Antumbra Knit has the hats.

The Supercritical Neutron Flux filter handles a single saw wave. It is first used in the regular Sour 3-pole mode. After that I patch it mono-in-stereo-out with the dual VCA. The stereo control is used for the spread effect. Then, I switch the 8-pole series mode and use the left half of the filter for filtering and the right half as a flat filter with the boost for distorting it.

Later I add some more waves from the demon core and set the filter to Mean mode. It has some different distorting characters in the pole settings.

Distort everything.

Martha von Lucid Grain im Talk mit Gerhard Mayrhofer ( Synth-Werk)

Martha von Lucid Grain im Talk mit Gerhard Mayrhofer ( Synth-Werk) from Open Video Medien Labor on Vimeo.

"Talk is in GERMAN Language

In 1969 Robert Arthur Moog transformed his mighty and complex 3C studio synthesizer system – due to popular demand – into a stage ready tryptich of extraordinary beauty and sonic superiority. No wonder the roadworthy Tolex covered 3P rose immediate attention among artists worldwide, and therefore found its way into the hands of artists like George Harrison and bands like The Rolling Stones or Tangerine Dream.

One of the most famous 3P users of all time and pioneering founder of the berlin school, Klaus Schulze, bought his system in 1975 from German Artist Florian Fricke and used it for several years for live performances as well as studio recordings. Kindly dedicated to Klaus, we considered it is about time to reengineer and resurrect this wonderful instrument to the very last detail to bring back the authentic sound and feel of this highly sophisticated beauty.

With greatest respect to the spirit of the old Trumansburg days, there will be a pristine model but no such thing as a stock 3P-2020, since everything remains customizable to your very own personal taste.
