WISP - Granular Ambient Modular #17 // Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Mojave, Rhodes

video upload by David Falcon

"noun /wɪsp/
a delicate, thin, and sometimes twisting piece or line of something

Me apetecía algo relajante así que hice una pieza para mí mismo. La idea parte sampleando en el @instruo Arbhar: Rhodes, Piano, Vibráfono, Acordeón, Synth bass y Cuerdas. En mi experiencia, este módulo funciona mejor cuando se samplean frases para luego recorrerlas con su motor en lugar de notas individuales. Lleva a sorpresas y texturas interesantes. En esta jam solo utilicé el vibráfono y el rhodes.

La textura aguda, parecida a una voz, soy yo mismo cantando al micro del @QuBitElectronix Mojave y fijando el búfer. Fui editando el módulo hasta hacerlo funcionar en el tema. La línea de bajo nace en el @MoogSynthesizers Subarmonicon y lo envié al @ShakmatModular Dual Dagger para controlar la dinámica.
En el @WeAreElektron Analog Four añado un Kick, Hi-Hat y dos líneas simples en las frecuencias agudas. También improviso con el Nord con un sonido Rhodes en algunas partes a tiempo real (no he podido montar el vídeo que he hecho en el móvil de esta parte por algun motivo en Davinci Resolve)

Gracias por estar al otro lado!

I was in the mood for a relaxing piece so I made one for myself! It started by sampling some new sounds into Arbhar. Rhodes, Piano, Vibraphone, Accordion, Synth bass and Strings. In my experience this module works best when sampling phrases to then sweep around with its engine instead of single notes. It leads to more happy accidents and interesting textures. In this jam only the vibraphone and some rhodes was used.

The high texture vocal-like sound is myself singing into Mojave and locking the buffer. I tweaked the module until I found something that worked. It was mixed with a bass line in the subharmonicon and sent to the Dual Dagger to control the dynamics of the song.
Lastly the Analog Four is adding Kick, Hi-Hat and two simple lines on top. I also improvise with a Nord Rhodes sound on top in some of the parts."

Joranalogue Audio Design MORPH 4 / source of macro cv? yes!

video upload by BRiES

"MORPH 4 can be used to generate voltages! Say what? Yes, it's a feature that had escaped my attetion until a few weeks ago when Joran pointed out the 5V normal to the first signal input on the module.
In this video I explain and demonstrate the feature and I finalise a patch."

video upload by VG-Line

"In this demo, the RITM-2 Black shows its character with pulse-width modulation driven by the LFO, while the filter adds those cool low wobbles.
A modern VG LINE take on a Soviet classic – raw, alive, and expressive.

Coloray performs 'Tonight' with the 3rd Wave 8M and 24M synths

video upload by Groove Synthesis

"Berlin-based electronic artist Coloray takes the new 3rd Wave 8M desktop synthesizer for a spin alongside the flagship 24M in this live performance of his original song 'Tonight.' Learn more about the 3rd Wave 8M: https://www.groovesynthesis.com

Watch as Coloray sculpts sounds in real-time using both synths controlled by Ableton Live, creating layers of wavetable textures and analog warmth without any overdubs.

The 3rd Wave 8M brings the complete synthesis engine to a compact desktop format with 8 voices, bi-timbral operation, and the same premium analog filters that define Groove’s 3rd Wave character. At $1,999, the 8M makes the distinctive 3rd Wave sound accessible to a broader range of musicians while maintaining patch compatibility with the 24-voice models.

In this performance, Coloray sequences multiple synth parts on the 24M (taking advantage of its 4-part multitimbral capabilities) while the 8M handles the driving bassline. Throughout the song, he uses the performance controls to shape filter sweeps and envelope responses, demonstrating the intuitive real-time control that makes the 3rd Wave series so expressive. The vocals feature live vocoder processing, with drums and vocal samples provided by Ableton playback tracks.

Coloray (Raynor De Groot) is the boundary-pushing electronic artist known for his genre-defying approach that draws from ambient, EBM, techno, house, and disco. His tracks have topped Beatport charts and earned support from Four Tet, Dixon, Solomun, and Pete Tong. His innovative 'Future Static' audiovisual concept and virtual reality experiences showcase his commitment to pushing creative boundaries."

Saul Stokes - Frequensea 4k California Waterfowl Refuge Video with Positive Vibes Electronic Music

video upload by Saul Stokes - Frequensea

"On first pass, this 4k video of a Northern Waterfowl preserve (Coyote Hills Nature Preserve in San Leandro, to be exact) might come off as being pretty static. However, watch closely and you'll see a fantastic variety of animal life. Duck formations, White Swans, varieties of birds arcing in and out. Dragonflies will also make appearances, as well as other insects. All happening while the sun slowly moves up into the afternoon sky. It's pretty exciting to set up a camera and have it actually record for a solid hour without something affecting it. GoPros are famous for overheating, but I was lucky to get to 60 minutes before it shut down on me.

Villa Galaxia is a special album to me. Written in 2008, and released on Hypnos Binary as a CD, It was one of the few albums that I had funds to master. I somehow found a technician/musician named Jeff Bowron in Oakland, and after a brief email exchange, he invited me over to master the album with him. To keep the price down, we opted for me to actually haul my large CPU tower over and work directly in my files. We ended up really hitting it off that night. He kept remarking about how unusual yet listenable Villa Galaxia was. He was a great guy who had an excellent ear for music. He had at least 5 different sets of speakers, with the final ones being huge rave-sized speakers. I remember him tuning the base levels and hearing the base drum go from very "flabby" to all of a sudden, precision. His final tweaks really changed the dynamics and feel of Villa Galaxia. A year or so ago, I learned that Jeff had passed away in 2018.

I hope you enjoy Villa Galaxia with this accompanying 4k Nature Preserve video.

Thank you,
Saul
