Last Transmission Before Impact | Buchla Space Improvisation

video upload by VoxModula Archives

"This is what I imagined during this improvisation with my Buchla TTA system.
If you have any questions please let me know in the comments.

The fleet is gone.

Only fragments remain: damaged systems, drifting wreckage, fading radar signals, and distant echoes from a war no one remembers.

This Buchla improvisation explores the sounds of deep space through unstable oscillations, evolving textures, metallic resonances, electrical insects, and ghost frequencies emerging from the static.

A journey through silence, interference, and the machinery that continues long after its creators have disappeared.

No presets Just voltage 🚀

Found the above searching for a demo after seeing the listing below. This is the first post to feature the Schober Dynabeat.

via this Reverb listing

This appears to be the first one featured on the site. Moby had a Portable Dynabeat you can see in this post (do a find for Schober when you get there).

"Here’s a rare Schober Dynabeat (1968). It’s a vintage, transistor-based electronic drum machine designed as a DIY kit to accompany Schober organs. It produced percussion sounds (bass drum, tom-tom, cymbals, bongos) using phase-shift oscillators, allowing players to trigger sounds via small pads or by connecting it to the organ’s lower keyboard and pedals."

"We recently acquired these two consecutively cute curiosities courtesy of a very inspiring and equally interesting gentleman and great friend of the late Don Buchla. When I brought them back to the shop, naturally I plugged the 101 in and attempted to get proper scaling and triggering sound out of it for 45 minutes, watching videos reading pointers etc. Finally I tried turning the 5 pin keyboard plug around, and then I lost 4 hours in seemingly 10 minutes. I was floored. I didn’t hook up the 200. The next day I delivered these to my friend and tech in Santa Ana. Within a week he had checked them out , addressed any issues and found them to be fully functional and in great working condition. So I picked them up and was really excited to try the 200. Got back to Fullerton and plugged it in with a mf-104 tailing into an early cooper cs-106+ and went to heaven. The spring sounded like the grampian, the preamp is also in that vein, dual ring modulators are very special. In particular as a studio piece the stereo functionality takes this to another level, signal processing to use while mixing or effecting tracks Is very much more than 1/2 the value with the 200. Awesome machines."
