Semiqiuncentennial Tension

video upload by Rhythmicons

"An EMS VCS3 does a throbbing drone. The Moog Model 10 is sequenced by a synthesizers dotcom q960/q119 with a little help from the Mos-Lab envelope.

The Serge comprised of licensed circuits by Elby Designs, Catgirl Synth, all lovingly paneled and assembled by Rich at Lower West Side Studios of Canada. There is a Buchla clone of a Source of Uncertainty module assembled and paneled by Jason Fry of Free State FX that is randomizing various parts of an M401 Multimode (Arp 1047 clone) also built by LWSS.
From the 401, the audio heads to the Analog Craftsman Gristleizer. The result is a little rhythmic bubbling.

The title is a nod to Tricky’s Pre-millennium Tension album but nevertheless reflective of the current zeitgeist.

But hey, no sirens this time!

In the meantime I crave my own."

video upload by Caught In Joy

"An analog ambient session designed for focus, calm, and deep mental escape.

In times that feel increasingly loud and demanding, moments of quiet become more than a luxury — they become necessary. This session is an invitation to slow down, step away from constant input, and give your mind space to breathe. No urgency, no distraction, just sound unfolding at its own pace.

'The Day the Horizon Moved – Extended Analog Ambient Escape', a long-form 3–4 hour collection available on Bandcamp.
🎧 Intro weekend price: $15 → $25 after
👉 Get the full extended session on Bandcamp:

Recorded live on analog synthesizers. No rush. No loops. Just slow movement and space.

"Ended up being influenced by Trance again with the e7 doing arps. Haven't used the Mega FM for a while but it is great for dark and dubby sounds. Each note is alternately panned left and right which is cool."
