video by EMEAPP

"A brief but exciting look at Keith Emerson's stage and studio gear at EMEAPP (Electronic Music Education and Preservation Project). This segment was provided to the Keith Emerson Tribute Concert folks and was played during their reunion event that featured Marc Bonilla, Steve Porcaro, Rachel Flowers, Gregg Bissonette, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and more. The tribute video is chock full of amazing performances and anecdotal stories about Keith Emerson, it is a must-have!"

Spiraling Prism (Herbie Hancock) - performed by Jon Opstad/Tom O'Grady/Byron Miller/Mark Mondesir

"'Spiraling Prism' (Herbie Hancock)

Performed by:
Jon Opstad - analogue synthesizers
Tom O'Grady - fender rhodes
Byron Miller - electric bass
Mark Mondesir - drums

'Spiraling Prism' was a masterpiece of analogue synthesizer orchestration by the legendary Herbie Hancock, originally from his 1980 album "Mr Hands". Here we recreate the track using entirely the same models of vintage synthesizer that Herbie Hancock used on the original recording, with no digital synthesizers, samples or software instruments.

Featuring the track's original bassist, electric bass legend Byron Miller (Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Sonny Rollins, Luther Vandross, Beyonce).

Taking the place of the track's original drummer, the late drum legend Ndugu, is the great British drummer Mark Mondesir (John McLaughlin, Jan Hammer, Courtney Pine, Kevin Eubanks).

The Fender Rhodes electric piano is performed by Tom O'Grady (Resolution 88, The Blackbyrds, Incognito, Myles Sanko).

The project was conceived and produced by Jon Opstad (film & TV composer - Black Mirror, The Feed, Rainbow Six Siege), who programmed and performed the analogue synthesizers.

The back cover of Herbie Hancock's 1978 album Sunlight showed an iconic photograph of his analogue synthesizer setup from this period. The original version of "Spiraling Prism" from Mr Hands was recorded during the Sunlight sessions. Here we have recreated that original synthesizer setup, using instruments such as the Mini Moog, ARP 2600, Oberheim Polyphonic and Prophet 5 that were key elements of Herbie Hancock's music in the 1970s.

This video is a celebration of Herbie Hancock's 1970s music, and the instruments on which it was performed."

Internet Jamming System for Robots!

"thumpBit samplepack available for patrons on Patreon https://bit.ly/CPTPAT

Thanks to my vast intellect and also the loving support from patons and subscribers, I have achieved the development of this pinnacle of human technology: The internet jamming system for micro:bit orchestra. Basically it lets people sit at home in isolation and click a sick beat into a step sequencer on a web page. That sick beat is subsequently yeeted through the intertubes before it ends up being slammed out by an army of adorable tiny robotic rabbits of death. aww yiss!

here's the p5.js code so you can see how I made the web sequencer.

Here is the code that runs on the micro:bit

Allinaire Live: Monome Norns/Fates + ARC. Granular Synthesis. New Atlantis

video by Allinaire

"Monome Norns / Fates controlled by ARC and Faderbank. Live performance at 'New Atlantis, Artists Edition' at the Io Myer Theatre at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. Recorded 6th March 2021.
Testing the Quadraphonic sound stage at the theatre, this event featured several NSW modular and sound artists.
Huge thanks to Adam Hulbert of UNSW and New Sound Waves for organising and facilitating the event.
Video Synthesis and projection mapping onto the 4 screen panels by Adam Hulbert and Simon Trevaks (with Luke S Dearnley operating Vidiot during my set).
Quadraphonc sound in the Theatre but only stereo on this video - still some good sound panning and movement best heard on quality headphones or speakers.
Norns / Fates features several reels of material including field recordings of underwater audio from the Great Barrier reef off Carins QLD, percussion extracts from my Asalt studio piece & various Norns apps pieces and percussion.
Using Norns App ASH/ ANGL the ARC controls the pitch and speed in a high precision granular manner and Faderbank adjusts various other parameters.
4 Granular 'tape heads' are available concurrently and I swap out 'sound reels' during the performance.
The performance is basically made 'on the fly', by ear, by granularising the sounds into tiny pieces and adjusting parametaers to mix, smear, pan and resize & overlap grains.
Picked up some radio interference towards the end as well!
Thanks for watching."

Call the police, the Bass Station 2 is illegally good 👍👍

video by The Ocean Beneath

"This morning has all been about analogue synthesizers and stank face grooves.

Playing around with the Bass Station 2 again, I can't believe I almost got rid of this synth last year. Anyhow, came up with this patch and using the sequencer got this sounding absolutely lovely. Threw on some Valhalla Vintage Verb and the Ableton stock delay.

All recorded and edited using Ableton Live 11 and Hit Film Express."

Opens up around :36 in.

"Inspired by the Kelis track Acapella I was playing around with the Bass Station 2 again. Came up with this patch and using the sequencer got this fat sound. Threw on some Valhalla Vintage Verb and the Soundtoys Echoboy for even more fatness and saturated the hell out of it. This synth is still one on of my favourites and the sound is just so easy to play around with. Everybody should own a Bass Station 2."

"This is the factory patches and sequences straight out of the Monologue, no effects added, this is just the RAW Monologue sound with a limiter on the master to get the volume up. Video was getting a bit long so I'll upload the second set soon."
