CRAY - delva taken from Digest 54 on SicSic Tapes, Germany

Published on Mar 1, 2013

"These 3 promo clips are from the Cray album Digest 54 on Sicsic Tapes, Germany
Featuring Buchla, Euro modular, Moog Voyager, DSI Tetra, Roland Jupiter 6 and more.
I have been more interested in experimental sound composition for the last 11 years and my last "musical" release was back in 2001. In 2011 I broke my foot and it was during this time I became interested in making "musical" compositions again. The result, 6 complete albums written in 5 weeks. Digest 54 on SicSic Tapes, Show Fades released on Digitalis and soon to be released Delta Whan on Rocket Machine Tapes. The others should be released over the next year."

Dedicate Shortwave by Cray

"Initially recorded in 2014 using only the Buchla modular synthesizer in Kyneton, Australia.

This live improvised Buchla performance came about through my childhood love of listening to Shortwave Radio. In Australia we wouldn’t so much hear number stations it was more Indonesian Gamelan phasing in and out with alien like frequencies swooshing about. I would prefer to listen to shortwave over pop music as a child. It has made me the musician I am today.

Dedicate Shortwave appears now in 3 versions, all of same length with quite minimal differences. This is the enhanced 2021 version."

This one is in via supporting MATRIXSYNTH member, Cray of Vicmod Records, who is featured on the release. You can find a video, sample artist tracks and more at https://www.pledgemusic.com.

"Welcome to Noises Off the second in the Modularism series. A collection of tracks devoted to the modular synthesizer and featuring 30 artist new to the collection.
In recent years we have seen a revitalisation and explosion of creativity in this area from both manufacturers and musicians – a return to these endlessly customisable, generative, idiosyncratic voltage controllable machines in order to create and perform music by a new generation, for a new generation.

In this edition we have ensured greater focus on
the use of modular instruments in creating the
music. The continuing journey to uncover more remarkable practitioners has so far involved rocking up a modular meets, countless hours of trawling the web and, social media platforms as well as following up all those priceless recommendations. The quest, from the point of conception, is to showcase the diverse spectrum of modular music and unending creative approaches by users of modular synthesis.

Law & Auder Records 
We are probably best known for our highly themed double CD compilations, “combining an ear for the experimental with a broad-ranging conceptual sweep” and featuring many of the finest electronic music producers. The label that brought you the “groundbreaking" Avantgardism Drum’n’bass, the “tantric-mantric”, East-Westercism collection, “exploring those moments where the mystic vibrations of Eastern scales and instrumental textures fuse with the complexities of digital music”, Minimalism, showcasing the new breed of stripped-down, experimental techno and electronica, the “moody, broody”, low frequency, experimental Female Of The Species featuring women in electronic music, as well as the Luke Vibert and BJ Cole collaborative exotica album, Stop The Panic.
