October 10th Aurora!

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"Another incredible lightshow in my own backyard on October 10th, 2024! According to PBS, 'South Africa’s National Space Agency (Sansa) told reporters that the storm had originated from a solar flare 'that erupted from sunspot 3842 on October 3.' It said this was the strongest Earth-facing solar flare recorded by Sansa in the past seven years and that the eruption briefly affected high-frequency radio communications, 'resulting in a total radio blackout over the African region which lasted for up to 20 minutes.'.' Original music featuring sounds of the Polybrute and Opsix... Enjoy!"

Seven Sisters Percussion Synthesizer Eurorack Module From Recovery Effects Introduction

video upload by recoverysounds

See the non-eurorack version here.

"Seven Sisters is a percussion synthesizer featuring seven voices that aims to capture the essence of late '70s instruments such as the Syncussion and Syndrum. This module contains 7 presets, with one voice playable at a time. Each voice has four editable controls, including volume, and parameters such as decay, pitch, and filter, all of which can be controlled via CV.. Each voice also includes multiple oscillators, noise generators, and filters, providing rich, complex tones beyond the capabilities of the original devices. This enables you to recreate classic sounds or craft more realistic snare, hi-hat, and cymbal effects. Seven Sisters is playable from any Eurorack trigger or gate-source, and it also pairs well with the Beatstep Pro, Korg SQ-64, or other trigger sequencers. The result is a powerful percussion synthesizer that combines the essence of early drum synthesis with modern flexibility.

New Pete Townsend Synth Studio at the University of West London

This one is in via John L Rice via John Fisher.

via The University of West London where you'll find the full article.

"The Townshend Studio was unveiled on Thursday 10 October at the University’s Ealing site. The new studio arose from Pete Townshend looking for a home for his synthesisers, leaving a legacy for the next generation and a catalyst for creativity.

The collection includes some of the most influential instruments in the development of electronic music. It comprises 12 principal synthesisers including the ARP Model 2500 (1970), used on 'Quadrophenia', and the rare and sought-after Yamaha GX-1 (1975), one of only 10 made with a retail price of over 60,000 USD on release, plus many other instruments played by Townshend throughout his career.

'It’s my hope that the studio will be a creative space for learning, collaboration, experimentation and play, inspired by the musical and artistic legacy of Ealing, an area integral to the development of British music in the 1960s,' said Pete Townshend."
