This is a percussive voice composed of four CMOS square wave oscillators with manual frequency controls. The harmonies between them create metallic chiming sounds. Two of the oscillators have mute switches to simplify the sound, and a loop toggle allows you to create repeating sounds.
Compatible with 12V or 15V systems, PC mounted pots, but jacks/toggles are offboard.
"Marina performs a powerful rendition of ‘La Alhambra’ combining the sounds of AstroLab with vocal harmonies and drum pad percussion. The track epitomises Marina's enigmatic style, full of twists and turns and underscored by her emotive, operatic chants.
"In the vanguard of experimental music, Barcelona-based artist #MarinaHerlop is renowned for her ability to blend vocal harmonies with intricate classical piano and avant-garde electronics.
We recently visited her at 229 LAB in the 1st district of Paris - a space aiming for freedom of expression - to learn more about Marina's journey as an artist, her creative process, and how #AstroLab, Arturia’s latest innovation, supports her raw and enchanting live performances.
Special thanks are owed to PAN (p-a-n.org) and ADC303 for their outstanding help."
"Early morning jam at Superbooth 24, day 3 with MC-2oh2, Brainstep and 6m0d6.
Pretty much the first one here at 8:30 enjoying the quietness before the big storm of the last day.
Would have been even better if I had checked the focus of the camera ;)"
"Jolin is a music technology brand specialized in sound art installations and modular synthesizers. The workshop is based in Milan, Italy. This year we will present Avalith,a raw synthesizer equipped with 100 transistor oscillators in an innovative matrix configuration. The goal is to harness the raw sonic power of a large number of sources to create sound patterns otherwise unreplicable."
"The KORG Berlin team talking all things Acoustic Synthesis.
KORG Berlin is back at the Bauwagen this year for another instalment of Acoustic Synthesis. Looking to bring a little more joy into your life, come check out our latest prototype while sipping on a cool glass of our classic lemonade. We are giving a Gesprächskonzert on May 17th from 17:50-18:20 where you can catch the KORG Berlin team talking all things Acoustic Synthesis. KORG Berlin is a transdisciplinary team of ten individuals designing new musical instruments. We strive to release products with a positive societal, economical and environmental impact."
"Berlin-based keyboardist Tim Sund will play live on the C15 synthesizer to give an impression of its sonic and expressive possibilities. Tim will play fresh examples of advanced sound design and also use the new features of the synth engine that are part of the upcoming firmware release.
In the second part, Stephan Schmitt, the founder of Nonlinear Labs, will join him and give some explanations about the instrument and its ongoing technical development."
"In 1971, the congenial mathematician, quantum physicist and room acoustics expert Michael Gerzon published an article about a reverberation device. The device in question used a matrix operation to rotate two signals inside each other. He concludes in his article that it would be impossible to build the device using existing technology.
In this conversation concert, we present Gerzon's device, re-imagined as a resonator. Its complex analogue circuitry is based on two bucket-brigade delays and an analogue rotary operation. Thanks to this circuitry, our new Eurorack module produces rich harmonic and inharmonic spectra, creating physical and vivid sounds with astonishing depth and detail. For the first time, efficient physical modelling synthesis is possible in an analogue signal path, going beyond the usual harmonic string sounds and opening up fascinating new soundscapes. The Resonator offers a wealth of parameters, yet remains intuitively playable, inspiring audiences and performers alike."
"Veteran modular synth maker FLAME from Berlin highlights its 2024 range of modules, starring their flagship modules TAKT & FIRE.
The 8-channel rhythm sequencer and 8-track drum synthesizer were introduced last year here at Superbooth and this time you'll witness the raw power with a live showcase in the auditorium brought to you by LA-based techno-artist & YouTube host TROVARSI.
Vienna-based producer and long time Flame collaborator Felix Bergleiter will give you a brief overview of the modules - including one or the other 60 second jam - and of course answers any questions. You'll also get a glimpse of their brandnew modules (e.g. TON, a new melodic looper module), which are shown in detail at their booth in the Bungalow-Dorf."
"Fredrik is a Bitwig veteran and longtime music producer and performer with many releases and world tours under the name 'Krumelur'. In this talk-concert at Superbooth24 he will present 10 techniques in 10 minutes with a software/hardware hybrid setup combining Bitwig with Eurorack to inspire other electronic musicians."
