Mood Machine | Sonicware Liven Evoke | New Set of 14 Songs


video upload by Sonic Cartography

"Track list and lots of notes below:

0:00 - 1. Dream Machine - With the Sonicware Liven Evoke, I’ve often been playing songs live, without using the sequencer, which I used for almost all of my songs with the Liven Ambient Ø (the two sequencers are very similar). With this song, I use the hold feature to hold some notes of textural sound in a couple of layers, while playing the piano layer live. The piano sound morphs between an acoustic and electronic sound a little bit after I play each note. Around the halfway point, with the chromatic pitch shifting, everything starts to turn into a granular storm (there are no granular effects prior to this), which is helped by the fact that you can cut the dry signal of each track and have a 100% wet mix of the reverb and/or granular sound. Oh, also, I want to give a thank you/shoutout to this video by @BenLevin because I started messing around with the chords that led to this song after watching it: • The secret to EMOTIONAL chords . His channel is one of my favorite music education channels on YouTube, so do check it out!

"A piece for ‪@SONICWARE‬ LIVEN Ambient Ø and ‪@homebakeinstruments8214‬ Wavestick—ambient music where gentle electronic loops intertwine with evolving filtered drones.

Ambient Ø: Runs through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY, giving the entire texture a lo-fi sheen.

Wavestick: Connected to ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY; the wavetable is continuously shifted while NIGHTSKY’s filter is swept in real time."

"A little tape residue that I’m going to clean off of the 4/4 and 3/4 scale screenprint… shouldn’t be an issue at all.

The Mobius is very practical little sequencer in my opinion… I also have a Sequentix Cirklon 2 and it was a breath of fresh air with how fast the Mobius simplifies and assists in creating productive limitations for me to commit to.

No menu divey time consuming pages… just start putting notes in immidiatly and choosing between the 2 time signatures that future retro allows.

Super fun making patterns and transposing patterns on this machine

Lots of sweet spots with pattern lengths and DIN Syncing to my drum machines..

The Mobius can also control vintage cv/gate synths ( SH-101 ) and Hz/v synths like yamaha CS-15 / Korg MS20

You can send clock out of Mobius to control your synths internal sequencer or arpeggiator as well

The little red lcd screen protector has come away from the machine

I removed it so it wouldn’t fall inside of the Mobius and get lost"

Jen Syntar Analog Monophonic MIDI Mod. 1978 SN 233

"This synth is in excellent condition and perfectly working.

The sound is big, gritty, fatty as you expect from an all analog synth and the filter really scream out loud!!!

Syntar is an analog monophonic synth born to be played with guitar via an hexaphonic pickup. The synth is now converted by Mad Rooster Lab to be played via standard MIDI!!!

It has 2 VCO both are capable of triangle, saw and pulse/square waves. VCO2 is tuned relatively to VCO1 in order to obtain some fat detuning or those classic 5ths and 7ths. Sound is fed though a lowpass VCF (24dB/oct) before reaching the VCA. VCA and VCF have independent envelopes of the atypical ADS variety (no release).

Voltage 220v."

Torso S-4 album | IDM/DnB/glitch | Not even a poet can speak the whole truth


video upload by Jay Hosking

"An album of IDM, Drum & Bass, and glitchy electronic music, for the more intense parts of your day. Songs were composed and performed on the Torso S-4, with additions and polish added in the box.

Buy the album here: https://jayhosking.bandcamp.com

00:00 - Imaginary countries
03:48 - Dreams must explain themselves
07:21 - Very far away from anywhere else
12:24 - The farthest shore
17:28 - The unreal and the real
20:57 - The word for world is forest
26:06 - Dancing at the edge of the world
29:33 - Always coming home

I recently posted a workflow video about why the Torso S-4 was an inspiration to me. Here's the proof.

I started sketching on the S-4, and before I knew it, I found myself writing song after song after song. Most of the songs needed a little more after the fact (the four tracks of the S-4 are not enough for full arrangements, for me), but the inspiration of the S-4 was enough to get me performing even before the song was finished.

So here you have eight songs, performed on the S-4, and then added to in the box as necessary to get them to the finish line. Many of the samples come from my Patreon community's sample pack from last year; a number of the samples come from a DJ Crystl sample pack, especially on the Drum & Bass tracks (2, 5, 7); and some of the samples are from the factory sounds.

Overall, this album is a showcase of how and why hardware can inspire, can surprise, and can lead to performance. It's wonderful to use hardware synths and drum machines, but sometimes audio loops and mangling is where the performance really comes alive. I'm extremely proud of this record and how spontaneous, energetic, and cohesive it is.

Thanks for listening."
