Sounds Like Art - Andy Cavatorta, Gijs Gieskes, Tom Verbruggen from stichting MU on Vimeo.
March 22 - May 5

Guest curator: Michel van Dartel

In the vanguard of music, sound artists are always exploring new ways of creating music. Often the search will not only lead them to the new sounds they set out to find, but also to some unique instruments. Instruments which, besides being functional, can also be seen as works of visual art in their own right. Especially when they combine the aesthetics of craftsmanship with the possibilities offered by the latest in technology.

Usually these works of art perform their humble services exclusively on the stage, where they can hardly be observed from up close. But in the exhibition SOUNDS LIKE ART the spotlight is not on the artists, but on the instruments they create. It has resulted in an exhibition in which we can hear and, most importantly, also see the unique interplay between form, material qualities, and technology of these new instruments.

The participating artists include the American Andy Cavatorta, who created a series of harps especially for Björk, which are played using gravity, Dutch hardware hacker Gijs Gieskes who compiles the most extraordinary new synthesisers from existing electronics, and Eindhoven based musician/artist Tom Verbruggen, better known as TokTek, who creates some ingenious sound-producing sculptures.

On Saturday May 4 Sounds Like Art ends with a special night of live performances by Author & Punisher, Gijs Gieskes, Pieterjan Pieters en Tom Verbruggen/TokTek.

Gijs Gieskes - electromechanical modular synth @ Museum van Geluid

Published on Jun 18, 2018 Gearslutz

"We met the amicable Gijs Gieskes, who constructs electro mechanical machines, all for the purpose of making sound. For the Museum van Geluid (Museum of Sound) he brought a row of self constructed eurorack size modules, of course with an unorthodox way of controlling it.

New Gieskes Klok Eurorack Module

video upload by Gijs Gieskes

via Gieskes

"This is a eurorack clock module with features related to a clock. On the left you have the audio output that is the sound that the clock makes, it is amplified via a piezo, the piezo is gated via a vactrol witha build in envelope. The clock can be advanced interlay via the build in LFO, but it can also be advanced via a external gate signal. There is a volume pot for the volume of the clock.

The center input goes via the volume potmeter above it to the vactrol, here you can put in external signals, these will be mixed in with the sound of the clock and gated with the vactrol.

Then there are two outputs for the LFO, they are one square wave and one sort of triangle wave. The potmeter above them sets the speed, when turned all the way to the left the LFO will stop oscillating and hold its state.

Specification:
+12v (Power consumption should be not much, maybe 100ma)
-12v (maybe 20ma?)
Width is 12HP"

?* Sony wm-F3050

video upload by Gijs Gieskes

https://gieskes.nl/instruments/?file=asterisk

?*

::ABOUT
?* is almost the same as the Zachtekind & ?Kind.
A walkman with extension circuit that is powered by the walkman itself, controlling the Walkmans playback speed with buttons linked to the potmeters next to them. It is a simple device that makes it possible to playback tape in very slow speed and switch between selected speeds, intuitive and playful.
it is stereo. Has a build in radio (AM/FM, no extra controls over this radio are added).

::Audio/CV
- input cv in for playback speed control -5v to +10v (example: 0v = low pitch, 5v is high pitch, so it is in reverse from normal).
- amount of CV can be adjusted with a potmeter.
- output audio out from walkman.

::Controls:
- 5x pot for playback speed per push button momentary switch.
- 1x ON/OFF toggle switch for 1st playback speed pot switch override.

::Power:
- 2x AA battery, The range of the speed control pots is different when powered from a battery.

Gieskes Coronaparty

ggijs

via http://gijs.gieskes.nl

I was watching the news on TV and they were talking about Coronaparty, showing kids hiding in the forest between the trees, some had tie wraps around there wrists, it spoke to my imagination.

Triangle/Sine waves the natural sounds on the ground and the digitaly created signals in the tree tops. (Controlles on the tree trunks)."

Freeze Comparison: EHX Superego vs Red Panda Particle Delay vs Gijs Gieskes DEP2a

YouTube Published on Jul 30, 2012 by coloringpad

"Three freeze pedals processing voice.

A note on the audio: This audio was captured from an amazing radio program called Radiolab on NPR. The podcast is available on iTunes for free, and you should really consider subscribing. This podcast in particular is called Musical Language, and as a musician, has changed how I perceive sound and is one of the most astonishing pieces of radio I have ever encountered. I hope Radiolab and Diana Deutsch are not offended by me using it. Listen @ http://www.radiolab.org/2007/sep/24/

Find the Particle Delay @ redpandalab.com
Find the DEP2a @ http://gieskes.nl/shop/
Find the Superego basically anywhere

I modded and tweaked out the DEP2a myself: find my stuff @ coloringpad.org

Thanks for watching!"

Serge Creature controlled by cardboard box

YouTube via JargMarbin.

video response to EVI Serge by vgermuse. Also see these.

"This is a cardboard box with a contact-mic ($1 piezo buzzer) controlling a Serge Creature. It's essentially the same patch I used on the previous video using the HSS2, except I have an oscillator controlling the VC GAIN at the begining to get a tighter sound. If you look closely you should see the brightness of the green light increase after a trigger pulse is received; since the decay of this oscillator is set long, it only can receive a trigger pulse once in a given interval (the first knob adjustment shortens it). Later in the vid voltage is removed from VC GAIN and the sound gets crazier."

Serge Creature controlled by audio from Hardware Software Synth 2 from Gijs Gieskes


"I realize it sounds really crazy, that's the point of this demonstration. I'm sure my neighbors hate me. The left channel is the sound of the Serge Creature (Sound Transform Systems). The right channel is the output from the Hardware Software Synth 2 (HSS2) (http://gieskes.nl). The audio input from the HSS2 is removed from the Creature several times begining at 2:39 to demonstrate the constant pitch of the oscillators without input from the HSS2. The audio output of the HSS2 is being piped into the Creature at the filter's TRIG input and AGC IN, and at the the oscillator's TRIG input. The Creature's black OUT jack is feeding back into the HSS2, which is making it's own sounds and applying effects to the incoming signal, before routing to an amplified mixer and coming back to the aforementioned connections on the Creature. The Creature's 1/4" output jack carries the signal you hear in the video."

Gakken SX-150 Ribbon Synthesizer, Modified

via this auction

"I have this one modified with a CV or control voltage input, which I used with an Arduino in order to play it using a MIDI keyboard. That might sound fairly crazy, but if you look online, there are instructions for much more than that. I also modified it to have a mono 1/4" jack output, which is the same as what a guitar output is. This makes the thing more useful as an actual instrument.

I also hacked on a jack for a 7.2v radio controlled car battery, as I have a bunch of them sitting around, they're fast to charge, and something like this runs forever off of a battery like that. The bottom of the synth is open, so if you don't want the battery jack, you can just snip it off.

Also included is the magazine that the synth original came with. Lots of interesting photos, but almost all in Japanese."
