Playing with Epoch Modular Benjolin

Published on Aug 30, 2015 AudioCentralMagazine

"Epoch Modular has revamped the original Benjolin circuit conceived by Rob Hordjik in the Eighties. A great havocking module for a different approach at sound sculpting. On this video, Benjolin out goes straight into MakeNoise ErbeVerb, for a slight touch of aural pleasure."

Published on Jul 26, 2015 AudioCentralMagazine

"Arturia BeatStep Pro is controlli via MIDI MiniBrute (Ch01), BassStation II (Ch2) and Miami (Ch10). Absolutely low level 'composing' (ehr...): just a test for multiple addressing and real time transposing and re-dimensioning of sequences. Hats off to Arturia."

Moog Modular System 55

Published on Nov 20, 2014 AudioCentralMagazine

"The mighty Moog Modular System 55 at Conservatorio di Musica Santa Cecilia in Rome was purchased under request of Maestro Franco Evangelisti (from "Gruppo d'Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza"); it was seldom used by Riccardo Bianchini in the Eighties and Giorgio Nottoli in the Nineties. Now, is it used for teaching the basic concepts of modular synthesis in the analog realm and for quick comparison with several virtual synthesizer, topics of study in my class of "Virtual Synthesis" at Biennio/Triennio of Composizione Applicata. This mighty machine, today (November, 20th, 2014) was moved in a new room, turned on again after the Summer, amplified with a vintage Pioneer Amp and a couple of big Tannoy Arden 15". This machine roars; this machine has a soul; this machine is probably one of the best synths in the word. Audio, sadly, straight from the small camera (with a lot of clacking from keyboard bushing and a lot of musical noise from the Conservatorio's classrooms; camera is shaking and rattling when the floor is shaking and rattling under the power of the dual Tannoy system. :-)"
