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.

"Gijs Gieskes built that crazy analog hard disk synth. which is based on a hard disk drive. a contact mic is used to amplify the sound, which is created with those mechanical movements, you can watch, and the sound is run through a boss OD 20 distortion unit, am ambience reverb (tc electronic M300 and echo park delay."

"Some of my modules on expo in the http://mu.nl for the exhibition: Sounds Like Art.

http://gieskes.nl/undefined/eurorack/

Video of all works in the expo: http://vimeo.com/62797575"


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.

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!"

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."

Not sure if it produces or manipulates sound. In the video below it appears it's for video only. Gieskes of course is known for DIY audio synthesis. See the label below.
