"Frequency shifting, drone commandering, serge resonant eqing, plague bearing onto 1/4 inch tape."

Vermona DRM1 and Eurorack Modular Techno

Published on Feb 11, 2017 NoizeHack

"Snare and clap from the DRM1 into the modular. Using the QCD to sequence everything and trying out some new noise reap VCOs I built. One track recorded onto tape."

making rhythms with the sl-20 slicing up noise

YouTube via NoizeHack | October 21, 2010

"I just got a boss SL-20 pedal and I was playing around with close to white noise as the input and splitting to stereo, distortion on one channel of the output, reverb and distortion on the other and then mixed back together in mono. the sl-20 can ping pong and random split the output, so you get alternating sounds with a mono split to stereo. also it sounds pretty cool with an atari punk console run though it. the noise is coming from the feedback setting on the kaossilator."

generative drums processed with noise swash and black death noise synth

Published on May 15, 2013 NoizeHack·53 videos

"A Pure Data patch inspired by the unreleased tiptop audio trigger riot sends out midi data to an Alesis sr16 drum machine which is run through a DIY Noise Swash and then parallel processed through a black death noise synth.

The PD patch takes a base time and then splits it to 4 dividers for each track and the dividers each have a probability setting, to decide how often that count of that drum hit is played. I will release the PD patch once I have figured it out a little bit more, here are the settings below

base time is one pulse every 183 millisecons

kick drum: 1/9 90% - 1/41 42%
snare drum: 1/22 75% - 1/71 39% - 1/192 100%
closed hat: 1/2 62% - 1/1 36% - 1/5 18%
open hat: 1/3 15% - 1/5 8% - 1/25 35% - 1/46 26%

as you can see these numbers are pretty random and there are lots of odd and prime numbers in there, but the beat created is still pretty cohesive, to me at least, maybe I have listened to too much odd music. I am very excited for this type of rhythm sequencing and am looking for ways to make it even more interesting.

If you have ideas about how to further make interesting generative rhythm patterns leave them in the comments below and I will try to implement them."

Moog Drone (with some bass too)

Published on Mar 22, 2017 NoizeHack

"Feeding my recent Moog obsession with a Mother 32, Minitaur and MF-107 Freqbox. Also used two SQ-1s and a Volca Beats and a DIY Synth.

Drone from Mother 32 into Freq Box, bass from Minitaur, drums Volca Beats, high pitch beeping synth DIY synth. Volca Beats and DIY synth are run through boss distortion pedals. Recorded onto 1/4" reel to reel, most of the hiss is from the DS-1 and not the tape, but it does a convincing emulation of tape hiss."

Making Noise with an Atari Punk Console and some effects in my new studio

YouTube via NoizeHack — June 04, 2010 —

"I built an Atari Punk Console (556 timer synth) and then ran it through a cool 4ms simsam2.0 kit I built and then ran that into an MXR Distortion + and then ran that into a DOD flanger I got at a garage sale for $7 and then into my honeytone. some awesome terrible noises."

Division Department 01/IV Distorted with Boss BX-8 and Sequenced with Patterning 2

Published on May 12, 2020 NoizeHack

"I got to borrow a Division Department 01/IV drum machine so I used it to overdrive the channels on an old Boss BX-8 mixer. The Boss BX-8 is great, it is like 8 or 10 distortion pedals in one. I added another layer of distortion and compression by sending the effect send out back into an overdriven channel.

The iPad app Patterning 2 was used to sequence the O1/IV with midi.

Oh and of course there is so much bass the camera turns to jello every time there is a kick drum, this is just for simulating the experience of having your vision get all weird every time the kick hits while you are at a club with function ones and you stand too close to the subs after having a few drinks.
