"I was very influenced by 'Number Stations' in this piece.I thought it would be cool to try and recreate some of the noisy and cryptic sounds.This was all done in NI Absynth.I recorded my friend counting in Arabic and added the file to Absynth. I improvised with her voice and with a noisy patch I made. Voice - Malak el ebada"

The end of an era - Absynth Removed from Native Instruments Product Line

video upload by Anthony Distefano

"Sad News! Native Instruments has removed Absynth from its product line.

This is my tribute to my favorite synth of all time. This is one of the first Absynth patches I made using the envelopes. The patch is based on Beethoven's String Quartet No. 15 3rd Movement. This was all done using Absynth's breakpoint envelopes."

Happy Birthday Steve Reich! :)

A blurb on Steve from Wikipedia:

"Stephen Michael Reich (/ˈraɪʃ/;[1] born October 3, 1936) is an American composer who, along with La Monte Young, Terry Riley, and Philip Glass, pioneered minimal music in the mid to late 1960s.

His innovations include using tape loops to create phasing patterns (for example, his early compositions It's Gonna Rain and Come Out), and the use of simple, audible processes to explore musical concepts (for instance, Pendulum Music and Four Organs). These compositions, marked by their use of repetitive figures, slow harmonic rhythm and canons, have significantly influenced contemporary music, especially in the US. Reich's work took on a darker character in the 1980s with the introduction of historical themes as well as themes from his Jewish heritage, notably the Grammy Award-winning Different Trains."
