ContinuuCon Electronic Music Conference Scheduled for Portugal

Press release follows:

ContinuuCon 2023, the fifth international Haken Continuum Conference, is slated for May 17–19 in Palmela, Portugal. This year’s focus will be on every electronic musical instrument that features the Continuum’s internal sound engine, the EaganMatrix. This includes the new Osmose synthesizer from French manufacturer Expressive E, as well as the Continuum Fingerboard, ContinuuMini, and EaganMatrix Module for Eurorack from Haken Audio. As in previous years, the conference extends opportunities for musicians, sound designers, software developers, and music enthusiasts to explore these uniquely expressive instruments through presentations, performances, and hands-on experience.

ContinuuCon 2023 will begin with an evening reception on May 17, just four days after Superbooth ends in Berlin. Over the next two days, Continuum and Osmose experts and master musicians will present lectures and demos at the Palmela Public Library. For tickets, information, and videos of past events, visit the website continuucon.com.

Over decades of collaboration, University of Illinois professor Dr. Lippold Haken and Canadian film and TV composer Edmund Eagan developed the EaganMatrix and the Continuum family of instruments. Both men will be on hand throughout the event, along with their counterparts from Expressive E and other authorities, to share their technical knowledge and musical expertise.

Previous Continuum conferences have been held at IRCAM in Paris and in Asheville, North Carolina. Haken Continuum players include Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi, Brazilian electro-acoustic musician Amon Tobin, film composer A.R. Rahman, Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess, and The Who’s Pete Townshend, who said, “I absolutely adore it. The Continuum is already inspiring me to new ideas.”

About Haken Audio’s Instruments
The Continuum Fingerboard is a polyphonic electronic instrument that offers continuous multidimensional performance control by responding to each finger independently. The ContinuuMini is a smaller, more affordable duotactic model based on the same technology. Inside is the EaganMatrix, a user-programmable digital modular synthesizer taking full advantage of the supple playing surface’s myriad performance possibilities.

About Palmela, Portugal
About 25 miles from Lisbon, the city of Palmela features art, nature, heritage, gastronomy, award-winning wines, arts and crafts, and nearby, the beautiful beaches of the Arrábida, making it an excellent location for ContinuuCon. With the support of the Palmela City Council, Passos e Compassos is pleased to host ContinuuCon 2023.

Using the DB-01 for live dronescapes - Part 2: Deeper and Dirtier

video upload by Richard DeHove

"A much longer exploration of dronescapes on the DB-01. I find these long distorted dronescapes strangely therapeutic and relaxing. As I mention in the video it reminds me of the Lyra-8. That device I found more to be personal therapy than musical instrument, but is a fantastic way to relax and drift away.

Part 2 takes a different starting point: Multiple steps in a key to create smooshed chords. I could have explored this a bit more, but the idea is to restrict the playback key range, then to randomize the pitch, and get different chords. For more variety you could then transpose the entire thing.

The Death By Audio Rooms reverb is providing the required ambient blur and I keep it on the basic 'Room' reverb type. This video is hopefully both a useful collection of ideas for DB-01 dronescapes as well as being somewhat calming in its dirty dark ambient gloom.

Slow, jazzy improvisation (#jamuary2023 ) on EX5, MPC One

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"Here's another #jamuary2023 contribution. My apologies for some unexpected notes, I guess that's the nature of ad-hoc-playing. ;-) This is one of the EX5's FDSP pianos at work here, which uses virtual pickups and stuff. Rest is the Fabric plugin on MPC One.
