TubeOhm Takes a Break From Hardware

via TubeOhm:

"Announcement

All sales will be discontinued from 01.01.2025.

I would like to thank my customers for their loyalty over the years and hope that you had a lot of fun with my instruments.

Maybe I will write a few more software synthesisers. Maybe Freeware or Demos.
This will then be published on KVR.

The site will remain online for the time being as the circuit diagrams and information may still be required.

RIP Richard Lainhart & Mel Morley (midimel)

Duet in C - YouTube Uploaded by azimuthvisuals on May 20, 2010

"Music by Mel Morley and Richard Lainhart. Recorded at Pocono Skies electro-music festival, May 15, 2010. This improvised piece is part of a larger collaboration including Howard Moscovitz, Jeannie Allen, and Charles Shriner. Mel Morley plays keyboards and software synthesizers. Richard Lainhart plays Haken Continuum and Buchla modular synthesizer. Camera by Greg Waltzer and visuals by Hong Waltzer of Azimuth Visuals."

It is with tremendously sad news that I post the passing of both Richard Lainhart & Mel Morley this holiday season. My condolences go out to their families.

I recently met Richard Lainhart and his lovely wife in Bellingham for the Electronic Arts Festival. You can find a slideshow and video of his lecture with a performance of Oraisen on the Haken Continuum and Buchla 200e here. I believe my first post on Richard went up back in 2007. His work has been featured numerous times on the site. Just do a search on Lainhart on the right search box.  Google brings up 8900 results, but I'm guessing some are repeats.  Regardless, his presence on the site was massive.

Richard had a passion for not only music but for teaching as well. Many of his performances such as that at the Bellingham Electronic Arts Festival was a combination of performance and lecture. I only briefly communicated with him at Bellingham and via email, but felt akin to him.  He said he loved performing and travelling.  He was always grateful for his coverage on the site and once told me a story about how he ended up on a trip to Italy because of a post here on MATRIXSYNTH.  It was one of the biggest compliments I ever received on the site.  I will never forget that and I will never forget him.  Rest in peace Richard, you were one cool cat.  See his Facebook Page for messages. You can find his website at http://www.otownmedia.com/. Update: you can find a recent performance of Richard in New York on CatSynth here. I'm not sure if this was his last. via CatSynth in the comments below: "What a sad day! I knew Richard Lainhart from performing in New York over the past couple of years. It was only a couple of days ago that I posted the show we did where we did an improvised score to his film "History of the Future." His music and films were beautiful and he was a great person, and will be missed. :("

Update: I went up to Bellingham for the afternoon. It was a planned trip, but having briefly met Richard and his wife Caroline there gave it special meaning this time. A bit more reflective on the life of those I thought I'd eventually get to know better. In the Fairhaven district there is a little garden shop with artisan products. There is an outside section with a little rock gravel path that you can walk through. At one point in the walk something captured my attention. It took me a second and I realized it was a bunch of birds chirping away as if having a massive conversation. It made me think of Richard. On Twitter and Facebook he used to post about listening to birds outside his home. It always reminded me to slow down a little and just take the time to listen to the birds.

Mel Morley aka midimel was well known to many in the electronic music scene. You can find his website here: http://midimel.com. He once played keys for Flock of Seagulls, and was one of the few owners of the Performance Music Systems Syntar. George Mattson of Mattson Mini Modular and Performance Music Systems knew him well. Mel, actually dropped by the NAMM booth in the early 80s when the Syntar was shown. He dropped by George's booth and gave the Syntar a spin. According to George he was quite proficient at it and someone walking by came up to talk to him. That person ended up being the contact that led him to playing for Flock of Seagulls.  George said he is really going to miss him.  He had some great conversations with him. I have only briefly communicated with Mel myself, but he like Richard was one cool cat. I wish I could have gotten to know him better.  You can find his Facebook Page with condolences here.

"Jeannie" 8 Voice DIY Teensy Synthesizer by Rolf Degen

Rolf Degen

The project is currently on https://forum.pjrc.com

"I am currently developing a new DIY synthesizer based on a Teensy 4.0 Boards. The synthesizer will look similar to the small Shruthi Synthesizer from Mutable Instruments. Compared to the Shruthi this synth will be polyphonic, have a color TFT display and other things like a 2Channel 16Bit DA-Converter, digital and analog filters. The housing and board format is similar to the Shruthi (see picture). That's why for the DIY Project I also created the Name 'Shruthi 2' selected."

Rolf Degen is the man behind the De-Generator and TubOhm.

2 cool videos from Different Skies 2008

"We'd like to thank everyone for their support and their patience; after some
delay, two videos are available now for viewing on the Different Skies site.

http://www.differentskies.com/DS2008/differentskies2e.html

These are links to movies streamed from vimeo.com that should work without a
password.

One video is a short piece by Jeff Kunzelman called "The Process" which is
more artistic/atmospheric than outright informational; it interleaves footage
of music being made at Arcosanti with shots of the surrounding environment and
some footage of our reaction to the sudden rainstorm that inundated the stage
and drove us all to shelter the day before the concert. (The soundtrack is an
unedited live improv session from one of the nighttime "all star jams", btw.)

This video is of particular interest to music historians because it
conclusively documents that at least once in our 20-year musical association,
Nick Rothwell gave me musical direction and I took it without arguing. It also
shows off how Jim Combs looks in a burnoose, and showcases Jeannie Allen's
expertise at catching skinks running loose in the backstage lounge.

The other video is the long-awaited Different Skies 2008 "gear porn" video.
These videos, wherein the participants in DS describe precisely what they're
using for that year's show, have been very popular since their inception some
years past. Giles Reaves and Greg Hurley have done them before, and they've
been very extensive and detailed... this year's version, by Nick Rothwell, is
(we believe) the most comprehensive one yet, covering absolutely everything
used at DS 2008 (and showing the results of the aforementioned rainstorm at
one juncture in the film).

Audio from the concerts and from the improv "all star jams" is forthcoming;
it's in the edit and assembly process. In the meantime, we hope that DS fans
and armchair participants around the world will enjoy setting aside a chunk of
time to watch these movies and enjoy a little taste of what the festival is
like.

My apologies for the crossposting; please feel free to pass these links around
to anyone you feel might be interested, especially since so many people seem
to really get off on the gear-porn movies.

Best regards,

mike"
