Energy Field by Reductionist
via Nick Wilson of Clan Analogue: "I'm touching base about a new release from Australian electronic music collective Clan Analogue by the Melbourne artist Reductionist. I thought it might be of interest to you as a release made entirely with cheap Korg gear, specifically the Monotron, Monotron Duo and Volca Modular.
The release is a two-track single called 'Energy Field'."
From BandCamp:
[before the Big Bang and the beginning of time…]
"There was no matter. All that existed was space/time and energy. An ocean of energy, almost still but gently rippling. A near still ocean of energy filling the void." Brian Cox, Universe (BBC, 2021)
Reductionist explores the wavefolding of time and space using battery-powered technologies and microvirtuosic technique with the debut release Energy Field.
Reductionist utilises the humblest of ephemeral technologies, including battery-powered micro-instruments, forgotten music tech products, and cheap effect pedals, to express through sound the vastest concepts that we, as humans, can attempt to comprehend.
The title track is inspired by the idea of an immeasurable energy field, theorised to have existed before the Big Bang, with the entire Universe lying dormant, waiting to emerge into existence…
The new single also includes the extended companion piece “Energy Field Refolding”. Could the Universe refold into itself as an energy field once again? Humans are attracted to the idea of rebirth - perhaps we need to imagine that existence will always continue in some form.
Reductionist is the solo project for electronic music artist Nick Wilson, whose previous work has included Random Acts of Elevator Music, Darrow, Tiatto, City Frequencies and Continuum. Nick has also been the Label Manager for Australia’s longest-running electronic music collective Clan Analogue over the last twenty years. In 2025 Reductionist and multimedia artist Aday collaborated on the MacroVerse collaborative performances at the Abbotsford Convent, which were nominated for the Best In Music category at the 2025 Melbourne Fringe Awards.
“Energy Field” is the first track to be released from the forthcoming Reductionist album MacroVerse. Prepare for existence and experience Energy Field.
released June 9, 2026

Get ready for the next-level sound design with Arturia Memory V – Melodic Techno | All Colours.
All Colours – these are all variations of Melodic Techno sounds from its creation by Stefan Bodzin to Afterlife‘s Anyma and Argy sounds. Naturally, I add my own vision of this style in my signature NatLife style.
I have created 51 custom presets and patches from scratch.
Every sound optimized to perfection for immediate, out-of-the-box use.
The collection features modulated LEADS, deep modulated PADS, beautiful space PLUCKS, modular ARP sounds and ultra-elaborate SYNTH effects. These sounds fully exploit the unique capabilities of Memory V. Despite this, these patches also reveal the full power of this emulation – and you will get sounds similar to Blade Runner.

Arturia Pigments 50 Experimental Presets+Patterns Sound Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
⚙️ Rusted Chaos is a bank of 50 presets + sequences for Arturia Pigments. The soundset's primary goal is to combine atmospheric and harsh, metallic sound. Inspiration came from natural phenomena and fossils, as well as mechanical sounds.
π️π¨️ This experiment helped achieve harmonious chaos & strange sound. The presets offer various moods and colors: bright and soft, mild and aggressive, warm and cold, clean and noisy, melodic and FX-like.
π¦ The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/pigm...
π€ The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).
This diversity expands their application possibilities; they can be used in sound design, cinematic music, Ambient, and in a wide variety of dance genres: Techno, IDM, Drum and Bass, Dubstep, Trance, Jungle, Experimental and more.
π️ Each preset features 4 Macros and Modwheel control, making it easy to shape the timbre and adjust key parameters.
The macros can transform the timbre, control noise level and distortion, add movement. You can control them via a MIDI controller or automate them in your DAW.
π️ The Modwheel makes the timbre brighter, while velocity affects both volume and brightness.
π‘ Compatible with Pigments, Analog Lab, AstroLab.
Make sure you are using the latest software/firmware version.

1973 Vintage Moog Minimoog Model D SN 5233

via this Reverb listing
"Offered here is an early production Moog Minimoog Model D, serial #5233, from my smoke-free recording studio, where it has lived for roughly the past twenty years.
This instrument has been featured extensively throughout my own work, appearing on many albums over the course of my 20 year ownership. Prior to that, it belonged to acclaimed Portland keyboardist Ramsey Embick, who toured internationally with The Pointer Sisters during the 1980s using this Minimoog, and performed on recording sessions for artists including Jo Bisso, Alfonzo, and others. Several touring-era modifications performed during his ownership remain intact and are described below.
This is not a museum piece... it is an honest, professionally used early Minimoog with decades of musical history. The front panel remains exceptionally clean and highly legible, all keys play well, and the instrument retains its original character while remaining a fantastic sounding and inspiring synthesizer."
