Dual DB-01s in three flavors: Pattern, Keys and Drone

video upload by Richard DeHove

"DB-01s in slightly more exotic flavors. The setup is two DB-01s, one left, one right, going into the Strymon DIG delay in ping pong mode and/or into the DBA Rooms reverb. The on-screen display shows the separate channels. In the first "Patterns" section there's two 64-step patterns and I let it run as I tweak the knobs.
The second part is "Keys" and started out as me just mucking about after I thought I'd finished the video. But I stumbled on the old riff to the title track from my 2007 album "Worlds Beyond Number". Yes, I used to play such sweet and gentle stuff :( I thought it was interesting to show the DB-01 in a more thoughtful mood with the slow attack happening via the LFO. The third section "Drone" was inspired by the recent dronescape videos. With effects the DB-01 really excels at live dronescape performance. I think there's a lot of territory in there to explore.
If there's a point to this video I think it's to explore your machines. I've always thought that every synth has its obvious sound, the one that's easy to find, places that the knobs are willing you to go. Some machines don't have much beyond that, others can surprise.

Klangstrøm - Miniature#1 (Pure Data & Korg Volca Drum)

video upload by dænkrø_ ElectriXity_

"Starting a series of miniatures with Pure Data and mostly one other piece of gear. Historical pieces of electronic music may be an inspiration but not necessarily. You guys can have a guess if there has been an inspiring paragon for each miniature. Starting off with the Volga Drum which is one of my favorite pieces of gear due to its immensely broad range of sonic capabilities. Love it. Hope you will, too!
Enjoy!
