"The one and only. The “last great polysynth” of the 80s. Truly a beast that was way ahead of its time. Incredible versatility and flexibility for a 40 year old synth. The programming can be daunting, but once you get the hang of it it’s a breeze. The thing sounds truly amazing."
"I had the pleasure of being able to borrow this module from a friendly patcher and DIY builder. Let's explore a little bit of how it sounds together. I want to try sending some field recordings of trains and other vehicles through this module next, I'm sure that would sound really cool (maybe that's something for another video). What would you send through this?
"SOLFA – A Generative MIDI Sequencer for Minimal and Experimental Music https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store... Inspired by Arvo Pärt, Designed for Creative Exploration SOLFA is a generative MIDI sequencer for Ableton Max for Live, built for electronic music producers, experimental composers, ambient sound designers, and those interested in algorithmic composition. Inspired by the works of Arvo Pärt, this tool allows you to create evolving, hypnotic patterns that seamlessly blend tonal minimalism with rhythmic complexity. Minimal Pitch, Infinite Possibilities At the core of SOLFA is a simple seven-note sequence. These notes are randomized across octaves, generating organic melodic shifts. This structured yet fluid approach results in endlessly varying musical textures that maintain a coherent harmonic identity. Independent Rhythmic Structures SOLFA employs isorhythmic principles, where the pitch sequence operates independently from the rhythm pattern. This allows for intricate, evolving interactions between melody and rhythm, giving rise to unexpected yet deeply musical results. Ideal for Generative and Experimental Music Whether you're composing ambient soundscapes, intricate polyrhythmic pieces, or avant-garde electronic music, SOLFA provides a unique method for crafting evolving compositions with minimal input. By embracing randomness within defined constraints, it encourages exploration while maintaining musical cohesion. Unlock New Creative Dimensions Transform simple ideas into dynamic, evolving sequences with SOLFA. Experiment with chance, structure, and unpredictability to discover new musical possibilities. Now available for Max for Live."
"Compilation of Elektron Analog Four jams over the past few months. I’d call it psychedelic ambient, but maybe you’d call it something different?
I went from the MKI to the MKII in that timeframe. So while this may not be a direct comparison, it could still be useful to someone deciding between the two (news flash! they sound very similar)
Each song was recorded in one take with no overdubs, no Overbridge, and no external effects. Just pure A4!"
"Original Composition created with an Arturia Microfreak synthesizer and a MPC2500 for the drum track. Eurorack modules providing some visual background.
From my album named Overtone which is available on Bandcamp,
Spotify and other streaming sites.
Thanks for checking this out."
"The location is Skinner Butte in Eugene, Oregon, and this video is demonstration of an experimental field recording device called Lite2Sound HD Stereo 62mm. The waveforms in the audio soundtrack are being emitted by the lights in the scene. Lite2Sound uses photodiodes as sensors to convert fluctuations in light intensity directly to audio. The device I used for this video has sensors 200 times larger than our basic model, Lite2Sound PX. That gives it much greater sensitivity, so its possible to hear many lights blending together, even from miles away.
Every city sounds different..? A serious videographer could do awesome things with this. I have built four Lite2Sound HD Stereo devices, and they are available, please inquire. I can be contacted through rarewaves.net.
I noticed in this video there is an invisible infrared light somewhere in downtown Eugene that emits strong pulses at 1-second intervals. It sounds like a ticking clock, but since you can't see any corresponding blinking in the video, it must be infrared. I assume it is providing flash illumination for some sort of slow-frame night surveillance camera. These are more common in urban areas now, who's watching who?
