Aggression Therapy | Looking for mean and vicious sounds in Eurorack
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"The word 'aggression' is used in this video to express a certain quality of sound and music. It's not indended and should not be associated with any form of violence. In music, it can emphasize the emotion or reveal what's happening in an actor's mind. It's an element of storytelling. Use it wisely.
For some reason, people love aggressive sounds and we wouldn't be having heavy metal, noise muisic and industrial grunge without it. Some brands, not calling names, specialize in it. So I've been thinking. Does an 'aggressive' VCO exist? Modules like Three-Body, Plasma Voice, Loquelic Iteritas Percido and WaveRazor came to mind, but the level of rudeness completely depends on who's patching it. Not calling any names again. I think 'aggression' - it's a bad word, I know - is a recipe where you'd drive your gear into distortion, self oscillation and cross modulation. However, it's often about grit, dirt, filth and grunge. You don't need violence to enjoy it, it's just 'colors' and many of these colors are all over mother nature.
The ultimate showcase would be Noise Music, but I think that noise doesn't tell a story and emotions need to develop. So it needs some kind of storytelling. In this video, I'll explore some VCO's and combos that will balance the edge of noise, and then try to manage it. Even the most brutal noise becomes percussion when you sculpt it, and even the most civilized module can reap havoc and bring chaos."

PlantsSystem-GranCho
video upload by plantssystem
"PlantsSystem – GranCho
Microscopic particles swell, resonate, and eventually melt into a single flow.
'GranCho' is an experimental soundtrack by PlantsSystem, combining elements of 'Granular' and 'Chorus'.
The sound, woven with granular modulation that distorts time and space and deeply enveloping harmonic processing, evokes a sense of floating between electronic and natural.
The interplay of stillness and movement, structure and decay, reveals a different expression with every listen. Digital yet organic—PlantsSystem enters a new sonic realm."
Control Synths from Your Phone: Piano Improv on Blade Runner Riff | iOS MIDI (Beta)
video upload by Cristián R. Villagra
"Live piano improvisation over synth riffs driven by my in-development iOS MIDI control app (no name yet). The app sends MIDI to my computer to play arpeggiators and tweak sound parameters in real time (filters, tone, mix, FX) using on-screen faders, knobs, XY pads, mini keyboards, and pitch bend.
Session routing (Kontakt):
• CH1: Noire Piano — played from Arturia KeyLab 88 Mk3
• CH2: Two synths — driven by the app’s Bass Arpeggiator (riff inspired by Vangelis’ Blade Runner theme)
• CH3: Lead synth — performed from the app’s mini keyboard
• CH4: Minimal electronic drums — driven by a second arpeggiator
Why this app? Many keyboards I use on stage have few (or zero) surface controls—sometimes not even pitch bend—so I built a mobile controller to unlock hands-on control: shape filters, automate movements, morph textures, balance layers, and keep playing fluidly. If this helps me, I know it can help other players too.
This video is a 6-minute+ live jam to show the workflow: arpeggiators keeping motion underneath while I improvise on piano and ride parameters on Page 2 of my scene (faders/knobs/XY). The app is still in development and I plan to release it as soon as possible.
If you’re into MIDI control, live keys, or sound design, tell me what you’d like this app to do next—your feedback will shape the release.
Additional Keywords: iOS MIDI app, mobile MIDI controller, live arpeggiator, synth arps, Kontakt Noire, Native Instruments, Arturia KeyLab 88 Mk3, phone MIDI, DAW performance, synth filters, XY pad, faders and knobs, pitch bend on mobile, live improvisation, Blade Runner inspired, Vangelis, sound design workflow"

"Nice condition vintage analogue 'Symphonic Ensemble' polysynth / string synth / organ with excellent control over tremolo, ensemble and vibrato. With three outputs you can send different parts to different effects. The string volume pedal is also very effective at breathing life into sounds. There is a multi-pin output for a rotary speaker - not checked. But everything else was serviced in 2024. As usual, the massive wood-veneer endcheeks are not in perfect condition, but the control surface and keys are very good. Serial number 8632, switchable voltage, currently with a UK plug. These are solid machines: packing 18GBP."
