La Femme | Superchic psych-pop with AstroLab

video upload by Arturia

"French band La Femme has captivated audiences worldwide with their unique style and fresh yet throwback sound that blends influences from across musical eras, from 60’s surf music to 80’s synthwave, italo disco, rockabilly and beyond.

We recently caught up with #LaFemme’s founders Marlon Magnée and Sacha Got in the studio to learn more about their passion for modern and vintage sounds and hear them take it away with a synth pop duet utilizing the classic synth array available on #AstroLab.

One of my favorite tracks from the early 90s.
Rhythm Is A Dancer by the german Eurodance group SNAP from the album Madman`s Return (1992)
Written by: Benito Benites, John "Virgo" Garrett III, Thea Austin, Toni C

Featured the Yamaha DX11 and the Roland JD-800 (1991)

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers.
Check out the original songs with the original artists here on YouTube.
Thank you."

Moog Matriarch and DSI Pro-2 | A meaningless endeavor

video upload by MIDERA

"I had this grand vision. I've got two cool paraphonic synths with CV and all sorts of cool ways to manipulate them. The brain was the Pro-2, it has gate out and 4 CV outputs and you can sequence with it in so many ways. These two were destined to be... but, not really in my hands, because I spent way too long trying to get the Pro-2 to trigger the sequencer of the Matriarch and it just wasn't happening. Ever. I never got it to trigger the sequencer to advance. Sometimes it would sort of half-trigger it, but then self-trigger anyway as well, so it didn't work. Anyway, I never figured it out, hooked up MIDI, recorded whatever the hell all of this is, and walked away. I don't know enough about CV. I don't know enough about modular stuff. You know, someone mentioned on a forum how you can do this and that - but they only half explained it so I couldn't actually figure out how to achieve what they were doing (apparently something about the noise inverting the signal and you can feed it into something and get some cool effects).

Anyway, here this is. A meaningless endeavor. The two synths shall be dismantled soon."

BugBrand Save Jamaica Street Studios Weevil

video upload by BugBrand

"In June '24, Jamaica Street Studios, Bristol, raised over £100k to buy their building as a community asset! As a near neighbour, with friends in the studios & being a strong believer community ownership, I've made a batch of 12 JSS Weevils to help!
They're screechy & experimental buggers ;)
I made many different Weevils early in my BugBrand days - they're a simple circuit with circuit-bent features - power starve & touch plates."

BugBrand Weevil Module

video upload by BugBrand

"A basic walk-through of the new Weevil module for BugBrand Modular.
1) the individual oscillators, then RingMod1 + Power Starve behaviour
2) processing a static VCO
3) then using a rhythmic gate into the audio input
Support from Penrose plus, off camera, a CVCO & the ever present DDSR.

"Back in the Old-Blues days, I tried to port the Weevil design into the modular format but it was a challenge.. The circuitry of the regular Weevils is really very simple & the chaos comes from circuit-bending (an unconventional approach!) – the difficulty was how to add voltage-control features to this simple circuitry (modular approaches are quite a bit more involved). So while I did a design back then which was enjoyed by bug-users (SYN1 Weevil), I never thought it quite captured the chaotic sonic worlds of the ‘true’ Weevils.

For a few years I put the Weevils to bed, but have recently come back to thinking on them – so, looking again at modular approaches, I’ve come up with something that I feel works things a bit differently and, while it still feels a bit different from more regular/simple Weevils, it offers a whole host of chaos & noise.

See the block diagram!

First off we have the power starvation core – this unfortunately couldn’t viably be voltage-controlled. Turn the Starve dial fully clockwise for regular/full-power usage. When starved, everything goes a bit nuts, everything interacts & we get to much more noise-based areas, though note that all outputs pass through circuitry to ensure they remain ‘full-strength’ (all are 0V to +10V). There is also a Stable switch which adds a little smoothing – it isn’t exactly stable, but it is more-so/different.

There are two voltage-controlled oscillators ranging from c.0.5Hz to 20kHz from the front panel (they can go slower with external negative CV). There are CV inputs with depth controls & polarity/mute switches for each Osc plus a CV Both input which affects both Oscs. The Oscs track 1V/Oct reasonably well, but are not temperature compensated, nor do they have the best high-frequency tracking. The two Oscs interact a little, especially so when starved. Each Osc has an independent banana output + LED indicator.

The basis for Weevils was a simple cymbal noise-source generator which quasi-ring-modulated square waves together for richly (en)harmonic tones. Here we have a first RM combining the two Oscs, followed by a second which mixes RM1 with an external signal which has passed through a drive/squaring circuit so that it matches the Weevil-core (inc. starvation). This audio input is quite level dependent so do play with the Drive control – you can also input gates/clocks/etc. to the input which can generate some interesting behaviours when using Starve. Note that without an input signal, the output of RM2 will appear quiet (ie. it isn’t silent, but it isn’t regular amplitude).

All in all, the Weevil Module is inherently quite chaotic compared with my other module designs – that is, I feel, its strength & interest! Experiment, feed different signals in, feed outputs back into CV inputs, etc."
