Ann Annie - Wildlife soundscapes, crusty tape, Eurorack Ambience & a big surprise // Velocity 2019

video upload by DivKidVideo

"Here we have Ann Annie’s performance at the event ‘Velocity’ from back in 2019. It was the first Velocity event held by Modular Seattle and Patchwerks and the new one is coming up, full info here - https://www.velocityseattle.com

Ann Annie brought us a blissful mix of wildlife soundscapes, crusty and noisy tape loops with live manipulations and widescreen Eurorack ambience before delving into an unexpected and uplifting section that definitely took the audience by surprise.

Earlier in the year I sat down to talk with Ann Annie and go through the set up and approaches to creating and performing. It was a wonderful conversation I was really glad to be able to capture and share, check that out here":

Within the park...
spring has sprung

Modular Haiku


Playlist:
1. Haiku Nº 01 - Oceans Away // Reflections and Modular Meditations - Self Generation

Reflections of one,
the ocean deep in thought,
noise to pass the time

2. Haiku Nº 02 - Upstream // Akemie's Taiko, Ornament & Crime, Lo-fi Junky

Upstream contrast sound,
at end flowing together,
the river moves soft

3. Haiku Nº 03 - Moons Apart // Roland e20, Rings, Clouds, Three Sisters

Across the land yet
Moons apart beneath new skies
sounds to light the way

4. Haiku Nº 04 - Contrast // Mutable Instruments Elements, Rings & Clouds

Beauty in nature Reconstructing / rebuilding the
under hum of rushing life ---- system. Voltage Block doing most

5. Haiku Nº 05 Pastel // Mutable Rings, Clouds, Elements, Three Sisters

- Pastel (lullaby sky) -
pastel splashed upon
a lullaby for the sky,
whispers and textures

6. Haiku Nº 06 "Latitudeº" (Self Generative) // Elements, Rings, & Clouds,

Watching the weather,
Shifts forward then back again,
Sipping on the rain.
- Self Generative Version of "Latitudeº" Feeling the warmth from this patch in the increasingly cold weather..

7. Haiku Nº 07 - "Cordillera" // Two Rings, Clouds & Mangrove

parallel peaks hush,
listen to the wind and trees,
echoes to rest by
~ from the album "Cordillera".

"Pacific Timeline" // Patch Remix (ann annie x constant shapes)

Published on Nov 22, 2018 ann annie

"Constant Shapes sent me a midi file from his own original patch to play through Hermod and remix! a quick reflection from across the lands..."

And the latest video from Constant Shapes:

“Dissolve” (Prologue) - Eurorack Ambience and Liquid Light - Squarp Hermod, Qu-Bit Chord, Plaits

Published on Sep 7, 2018 Constant Shapes

"Liquid Lightshow by Logos - https://www.instagram.com/logosvisual/

Some insight as to how I set up my "generative" patches.

Patch:
Chord Drones, root & 3rd go through 2hp verb, then to mixer
5th goes through rings
7th through clouds

Plaits sequenced by Hermod, 3 randomized melodies in C Maj
Plaits then passes through DLD for some proper random weirdness.

As usual for me, OC is running quadraturia and all sorts of parameters are modulated, including but not limited to:
Rings Brightness
Plaits Timbre
Chord Structure / Voicing (as always)

Hermod is sending gates to trigger reverse of DLD on and off.

Thats pretty much it!
from 80 to 40 BPM
With love!

Modular Field Trip Ep. 1 - Tidal Ambience with Mutable Instruments Rings, & Moog Mother 32

Published on Apr 3, 2017 ann annie

"Everything you are hearing and seeing was recorded in real time!
Took my station wagon Wilma (Wilma Wagon) out to the beach today for some nice ambient patching. This will be the start of a new series, each episode with a new natural wonder, each with a new patch and each episode featuring Wilma. Enjoy!

This Patch’s Secrets:
***Power was graciously received from Wilma Wagon’s battery and a power inverter. Audio was recorded with a Scarlett 2i2, and some DI boxes.
// Key Pings: Moog Mother 32
LFO Rate is randomly controlled by its own assignable output
Sequencer is randomly reset at random intervals also from its assignable output.

// Drone: Rings
Rings is receiving Mother 32’s KB output for the v/o
Intellijel Dixie II in LFO mode is controlling Ring’s Structure CV using the sine wave output
Ring’s is being strummed by Mother 32’s LFO Square Wave
Brightness is controlled by Mother 32’s VCO Pulse Wave
The triangle wave output from Dixie ii attenuated by Triatt is controlling the Position CV.
Mother 32’s triangle wave is attenuated then sent into Rings frequency CV for a very small amount of vibrato.

// Effects
The Mother 32’s output is being fed into a Boss ME-50 which supplies heavy amounts of reverb and delay. It is also run through the JHS Alpine and then into a second delay, the MXR Carbon Copy.

Rings output is being sent though into Ocean Verb set in Shimmer mode. The mix is 75% Wet output.

Faintly in the background is the natural audio captured by the camera’s mic. This is unaffected."
