BZZZ! The sound of electricity - Performance & Installation

BZZZ! the sound of electricity - Performance from cecilebabiole on Vimeo.

Performance by Cécile Babiole and Quentin Aurat - Plateforme Paris 1st June 2012
"BZZZ! the sound of electricity" is a sound sculpture by Cécile Babiole.
Exhibition at Plateforme-Paris, June 2012

By reinventing an obsolete low-tech sound wave generator in this all-digital age, "Bzzz !" serves as a commentary on the history of technology and a tribute to unprocessed, unsampled analog sound : in a word, the raw sound of electricity.

The set : 6 micro-controlers, 6 resistors scales, 12 small PA et 24 small loudspeakers.

On the night of the opening of the exhibition, Cécile Babiole and Quentin Aurat played the sound sculture as a music instrument.

rezfilter's 8-Step Sequence Wins Vacoloco GorF Contest

You might remember the contest from this post. It looks like rezfilter won with his "An 8-Step Sequence: Analogue Solutions Oberkorn & Telemark-K (Keyboard)" posted above and previously here.

via Vacoloco on Facebook: "The "win a gorf" competition has been extremely hard to judge, but sadly there can only be one Winner. In the case I've chosen Jason Subtractive's entry (below). Thank you again to all those entered, I can safely say that judging this competition was considerably harder than I was ever expecting. The quality of entries was just outstanding."

EMS Synthi For Sale

Uploaded by mcabaret2007 on Nov 21, 2008

"Roi from Mechanical Cabaret, improvising on an EMS Synthi A synthesizer during a recording session for the new Mechanical Cabaret album called 'Damaged Goods'."

"Essentially the same instrument as the legendary EMS VCS3, and sometimes known as the ‘Portabella’, the Synthi A is a self-contained, analogue modular synthesizer system, literally built into its own (genuine!) Spartanite attache briefcase! This is a very rare original working example of one of the most revered, fantastic, and ultra portable synthesizers ever made.

Firstly, there’s a little bit of background information on this which might possibly help me in my quest to sell it: this particular Synthi A was originally a end of tour gift to Mike Hall, Erasure’s keyboard roadie, in 1992 – he is still the current owner, and I am now selling this on his behalf, sold as seen.

I’m sure that most people looking at this listing know all too well what a wondrous thing it is that I’m selling here, and perhaps are aware of how incredibly rare it is to find a genuine, working example of a Synthi A these days. There's absolutely tons of info around on this machine, which is easy enough to come across on the web via a well placed Google search or two, so there’s no point in me lazily copying/pasting or just replicating any of that... Here’s a video of me playing around with the actual Synthi A I’m selling here..." [above]

"Functional condition is excellent - all original switches, sliders, buttons and pots- all working with no scratchiness or noise. All LEDs working and bright. Cosmetic condition is also excellent, with all original silkscreening in like new condition. A few minor scratches on the metal end panels but nothing remotely serious.

The pictures tell the tale of this gorgeous work of art/musical instrument. The serial number is 272XXX so it has the stable 14 bit DACs and the bright LEDs. It was retrofitted with the DCB port and the auction includes the MD-8 DCB to MIDI converter."
