"Getting all lovey with the Ekdahl Polygamist. What new things will it say to us when it's knobs & ribbons are turned & stroked the right ways? and the wrong ways? Stick around as Ashley starts to rock the ribbon."

Smokey Quartz - Wretch Jam #10

Published on Oct 30, 2017 Smokey Quartz

"I haven't posted a 100% Metasonix Wretch Jam in over 3 years so I decided to fire up that cantankerous monster for some improvised noise. Pulse wave and gate signals are being fed to the Wretch from the Knas Ekdahl Polygamist Synthesizer. The Polygamist is just out of frame and can't be heard but is acting as a dominatrix to the submissive Wretch, telling it what to do and running the show. Also, vacuum tube spring reverb is coming from the Metasonix R-56 module."

Some cheerful noises from Knas Polygamist

"Say "Hello" to the brand new Ekdahl Polygamist Analog Synthesizer; we are just scratching the surface of this wonderful noise machine. Definitely, not an ordinary synthesizer, not for faints of heart.
Audio and video straight from ubiquitous smartphone... sorry."

"For Valentine's Day we made a noisy mess with the Ekdahl Polygamist and let the cat sit on it. It sounds pretty good with a cat sitting on it."

"The Polygamist is a very rare and sought after experimental drone synth, perfect for improvising,and unlike anything you've played before. It features two unique oscillators, a filter with variable pole feedback, three LFOs, a ribbon strip controller and more, it's basically a full modular synth but with semi-modular routing built in. Some highlights include a tilt waveform on VCO 1, morphing smoothly from saw through triangle and out the other side, three subfrequencies available from VCO 2, a unique pitch multiplying oscillator, looping ADSR, and a duophonic midi to CV convertor. This one includes a custom hardwood case and a variety of patch cables to get you started. Touch strip is not only duophonic, but also pressure sensitive, which makes it quite expressive. Includes hardwood case, cables and power supply."

Smokey Quartz - Plant Music 22 (Aloe + PlantWave, Polygamist & Wretch)

video by Smokey Quartz

"In this Plant Music video I connect the Plant Wave to a lil Aloe we have growing in a pot outside. The MIDI coming from the PlantWave plays the Knas Ekdahl Polygamist which then sends pulse waves and trigger signals to the Metasonix S-1000 aka Wretch Machine."

Smokey Quartz - Pneumata #2

Published on Oct 25, 2015 Smokey Quartz

"A meeting between the Ekdahl Polygamist and Metasonix Wretch Machine with a little percussive help from Mr. Basimilus Iteritas. The Polygamist is running the show, triggering everything with it's LFOs and sending out pitch CVs to the Wretch and BI from it's ribbon."

"An unprocessed recording of a rather simple but musical patch on my eurorack.

It started as a test of the Scale Select Mode of the Intellijel μScale II, with the Make Noise Pressure Points & Brains used to step through a simple sequence of eight chords.

A Make Noise Maths in combination with a Doepfer S&H were used as a random arpeggiator for the organ-like sound from the Synthesis Technology Morphing Terrarium, going through the E440 VCF to the Make Noise Echophon and Erbe-Verb in order to create some room around the sound.

The rhythm for the “organ” arpeggios is somehow randomized by applying a randomized Ginkosynthese TTLFO multiplication function to a tempo from the ALM Pamela’s Workout, the basic tempo engine for this patch.

While the bass kick sound is a straight 4/4, the hi hat is triggered by a patch on the 4MS QCD, partially controlled per measure by the Make Noise Pressure Points and Brains.

This patch was a nice experiment for me to introduce some randomness in a limited musical framework of eight chords and the sound reminds me of the organ going mad with its short notes on the carousel on the fair where I used to go as a child."

Ekdahl Polygamist in there as well.

POLY LOVES PHASHI 3

Published on May 23, 2015 Smokey Quartz

"So you take two Knas Ekdahl Polygamist oscillators (7 if you include the audio rate LFOs, ADSR, and self-oscillating filter, 10 if you include the sub-pitches of VCO2) detune them and add a Tocante Phashi… then what????"

Smokey Quartz - Pneumata #1

Published on Oct 23, 2015 Smokey Quartz

"The first in a new series of synth improvisations using whatever tickles my fancy at the moment. At this moment it's the Ekdahl Polygamist playing the Metasonix Wretch Machine resulting in a thick, dirty, analog drone."

POLY LOVES PHASHI 4

Published on May 24, 2015 Smokey Quartz

"In this video the Ekdahl Polygamist makes love to the Tocante Phashi. Or is it the other way around? Either way, it is consensual but not very "sensual" in the ordinary sense. Stick around as towards the end I start making out with Phashi to make Poly jealous… don't worry, I don't lick it.. hot breaths only!"
