natural park #2 / ambient mutable instrument in the wild

video upload by Tom Leclerc

"EN//
The Residence - The Tale of Silence - in Auvergne, France is a collaboration between photographer Joséphine Leroux and artist/musician Tom Leclerc. Capturing suspended moments of life, composition, exploration, and optimism lie at the heart of this journey of writing and documenting Tom's upcoming album. This album is the creation of a genuine natural park that can be listened to, where details, microcosms, and sonic curiosities blend in a unique acoustic ballad.

The challenge today is to offer a new, friendly, inspiring, and curiosity-inducing imagination for the delicate and bucolic nature. With this collaboration, it is also a genuine artistic exploration of the narrative of tomorrow and tranquility.

Armed with his experience with the Moss Explorer collective, Tom Leclerc is accustomed to the mountains and their inspiring secrets, which lead him to discover new forms of art production and dissemination in nature. Composing with nature is not an easy task; one must learn to let go.

In the age of capitalist anxiety, the search for tranquility becomes a difficult endeavor. And when we finally find it, we are already thinking of finding it again. In these places, the natural and ephemeral orchestra is alive; it can invite us to compose with it. I seek to bear witness to these moments to offer the world these new imaginaries.

And there are those moments, at the turn of a mountain's contour, where sound comes to life and offers us a true tale of silence.

Custom Oberheim FVS - "Son of 4 Voice" System

via this auction

"The ensemble is made of 4x vintage Oberheim SEM modules, revised and calibrated, a good psu, plus a 4 voices mixer inspired by FVS mixer, a Vermona 4 channels midi interface, packed in a tailored-fitted, pro-built flighcase. One of the SEM has cheese-like cheeks (a lots of mods where installed on this one) but it is back to original specs now. New face panels exists as well.

While it was built to stay true to the original Four Voice by Tom Oberheim - it is also quite easy to add a ton of patch points and convert this to a modular dream-machine"

Never seen one of these before. Note the video above is not for the listing. I found it searching Youtube for a demo of one. Roland also made the MT-300. The MT300 has MIDI out while the MT80s does not, which means the MT80s is solely a MIDI player and cannot be used to sequence external gear.

Check out additional boombox synths here.

Analog synth jam with the Roland SH-101, Moog Subsequent 37, Walrus Sloër, Source Audio Ventris

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jayhosking
A live, semi-improvised synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I got an SH-101. Yes, it's simple. But I love its particular sound and find it endlessly deep and soothing. Thinking of it that way made me think to pair it with the Subsequent 37, another synth that provokes exactly the same feeling. Turns out the two make a good team.

Roland SH-101 into Source Audio Ventris - Bass / melody synth sequence
Moog Subsequent 37 into Walrus Sloër - Lead synth

Performed and recorded live, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Thanks for listening.
