Ghosts of Spring (bioelectric composition #6)

video upload by Musical Miscellany (Poorness Studios)

"Last fall, I made a bioelectric composition as these lilies were withering. Now that spring has arrived and they've broken through the ground, I thought it would be fun to do another one with the same plants. Both setups use the Garden Listener from Clatters Machines to interface the synth with the lilies.

Janus and the Tablehooter

video upload by Wein Glas

"The second video in my new 'Fuzz pedals and Synthesizer Series' [part 1]. This time the Sound of the Casiotone MT400v is shreddered with the Walrus Audio Janus. A wonderful pedal that combines Fuzz and Tremolo sounds in one unit with two joysticks.

This results in what you can call a 70s organ revival with some Carlos moments.

"All sounds are made with the AtomoSynth Mochika X5 (except drums and strings). The lyrics were recorded with a vocoder but I replaced them with my singing at the last moment for a more natural sound."

Stop the voices... Do vintage synths sound the same?

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Surely these won't sound the same. After 40 years these 2 Polysixes (is that the plural?) have led different lives. One looks like its been a workhorse - oxidisation on the front panel, a few knocks and bangs.. the other looks like its been looked after a bit better. They've both been serviced, so will they sound anything alike?

"The most expressive and fun to play synth I’ve ever laid hands on, the Yamaha CS60. You know what this is if you’ve come this far. This one is in stellar condition. Was serviced a few years ago and everything is fully functional. Everything feels like new when playing it. I had previously bought a Deckards dream and Hydrasynth thinking it may be a more modern version of this and the keys, ribbon, integration and connection to the sound production and especially the sonic depth and intricacy all were not even close. It’s literally the difference between an LED and a candle. This thing glows and warms."
