"Experimenting with the ES1 & A4 combo- ES is doing the main rhythm- routed into A4, two voices of the A4 are processing the ES1 signal, the other two voices are doing blips and a pad sound. Glitches are cuts where it got a bit long and wandering, it's cut to half the length hehe..."

New Abre Ojos Chakras - AV DVD Featuring all Eurorack Modular

"Abre Ojos - Chakras DVD
Seven tracks based on the Chakras created using a Eurorack modular synthesizer and some vocals with reactive visuals made in Quartz Composer. The audio has been professionally mastered by Gregg Janman at Hermetech Mastering and you get DVD quality 16:9 video. The cover includes a link to download high quality FLAC or 320k MP3 for your computer or portable audio device. Over 90 minutes of immersive drones and visuals.

The DVD is a hand numbered limited edition of 100 copies and every disc comes with an Abre Ojos sticker. They are $20USD each including shipping to wherever you are in the world. Purchase at http://abreojos.net via Paypal." You'll find more videos there.

Spiral Galaxy - Abre Ojos

"The Spiral Galaxy project has been constructed using the images of Marek Dobiecki artist, teacher and astronomer. Dobiecki has built himself an observatory in his backyard in the Dandenong ranges where he tracks the night sky with his computer controlled f4.5 x 30cm Newtonian Telescope capturing galaxies, nebulae and star fields. The photographs are wonderfully fragile, textured, grayscale images of up to 2 hours exposure time revealing things we can barely see with the naked eye.

These photos were built into a series of audio reactive Quartz Composer animations and the sounds are inspired from space recordings and low frequency atmospheric sounds of the earth built on a eurorack modular synthesizer. The tracks are all recorded in one pass with no overdubs for sound or vision. The project is now completed and is sealed with the DVD release of Spiral Galaxy. The DVD has 3 tracks giving just over 66 minutes of sound and vision. The three tracks are:

* NGC1313 Spiral Galaxy in Reticulum
* NGC2835 Spiral Galaxy in Hydra
* NGC1313 Live at Electundra Festival 2009

Hydra and Reticulum are new videos while the live video was recorded back in November of last year at the Electundra Festival at Loop Bar. The DVD gives you all three tracks in full screen 16:9 DVD quality with full uncompressed audio to let the entire frequency range loose. As usual if you pop the DVD in your computer you’ll find 320khz MP3 versions of all the tracks for your fav audio device.

The DVD is a hand numbered limited edition of 50.

Cost is $15USD including postage to anywhere in the world via Paypal. For the first 20 orders I’m also including some limited edition postcards of the Geometers print series.

Abre Ojos on TRASH_AUDIO

You can find the full interview on TRASH_AUDIO

"Favorite Hardware
Predictably it has to be my euro rack modular, two years ago I would have said the DSI Evolver, but the modular has eclipsed that. Patching is akin to playing chess, or raking a sand garden, it’s a blank slate with a kazillion options and if you manage to explore every option just swap out a module with another one and suddenly you are back to option 1 with a kazillion to go, oh and it sounds good too. The resurgence of modular synthesis has to be an indicator that humanity is getting better."

abre ojos - elements DVD release

see the post on MATRIXSYNTH-C. See these previous posts for more including video.

abre ojos - elements

abre ojos - elements release on Darkwinter.com

Elements are a series of improvised audio-visual tracks based around the four alchemical elements of Earth, Air, Water & Fire. Drawing on the aesthetics of the Crowley Tarot painted by Lady Frieda Harris with imagery drawn from 50’s propaganda films these pieces combine long evolving drones from modular synths with sound reactive looping visuals and animated mandalas to create an immersive synaesthetic experience to give time for reflection and meditation.

Each week, for four weeks, a new element track will be released culminating in the fourth week with a limited edition DVD compiling all four tracks as well as an extra bonus fifth track, Spirit, which will only be available on the DVD. Purchase and ordering information will be found on Darkwinter.com or abreojos.net"

"I have a new track up this one will be the last for a while as i'm working on a 4 track AV release for http://darkwinter.com which should be done by about march (fingers crossed).

this track features a couple of new modules including the excellent EXCELLENT Flight of Harmony Plague Bearer and a DIY Korg P3100 resonator clone built from a PCB from the workshop of Fonik which is full of vactrol goodness!

grab the mp3 here: 192k mp3 24.6mb
a pic of the patch is attached.


Also local artist Andrew McIntosh/Screwtape has been putting together interviews of local experimental musicians and artists and has created a youtube channel. I was lucky enough to be one of those interviewed. its in 2 parts: [one, two] and part 2 [below] shows my modular in detail talking about the module selection, arrangement, ribbon controller etc from 4:58.
