Elka Preludio 22L inside

Published on Nov 18, 2013 organfairy·397 videos

"I have had this organ since 2003 but for the last four years it has been in storage in a bicycle shed. This is not really an optimal way of storing such an instrument but I simply hadn't space enough in my old apartment. But now I have and therefore I set it up and turned on the power expecting the worst!

To my surprise most of the organ worked fine. An integrated latch in the bass and a transistor in the power amplifier had died. But that doesn't have to be caused by the storage conditions. I think it would have happened anyway.

But since I had the organ opened up anyway I took some pictures and made this video.
The music is recorded back in 2005 in two layers. First I recorded the Elka Preludio and then I added strings and harmonies on the Elka EP-8. The melody was a hit for teenage idol Ralph Carter back in 1975 and later for the Flying Pickets in 1984. There might be others but these are the ones I know."

Moogfest 2016 Dates Announced

Published on Jul 14, 2015 Moogfest

"International Festival Exploring The Synthesis of Music, Art and Technology for innovators Around the World.

Leaders from Durham’s civic organizations, cultural institutions, government and business announced earlier today that Moogfest – the internationally acclaimed festival of music, art and technology -- will debut in Durham May 2016. This announcement signals a long-term commitment by festival organizers, reinforcing the exploding technology scene and culture of innovation in the Triangle. The 3 day, 3 night event takes place May 19-22, 2016.

A limited number of Early Bird tickets are now available at Moogfest.com for $99.00.

'Moogfest is a platform for conversation and experimentation with innovative programming that perfectly mirrors Durham’s momentum as a capital of technology, culture and entertainment,' says Emmy Parker, Brand Director at Moog Music.

Moogfest has been a festival of electronic music since 2004, known for presenting performances by early pioneers in electronic music, alongside pop and avant garde experimentalists of today. Previous Moogfest performers include Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Chic, Massive Attack, Holly Herndon, Flying Lotus, Terry Riley, M83, The Flaming Lips, Suicide, Pet Shop Boys, Grimes, TV On The Radio, MIA, St. Vincent,Tangerine Dream, Keith Emerson, Moderat and Squarepusher.



In celebration of today’s announcement, Moogfest releases 'Translational Drifts: Moogfest Vol. 1,' the first EP in a series of free digital recordings that feature Moogfest artists - past, present and future. Volume 1 showcases five contemporary acts reinterpreting seminal electronic music influencers that have shaped past Moogfest lineups. This premiere installment includes YACHT, ADULT., Julianna Barwick, Moses Sumney and Dan Deacon translating tracks by Devo, Pet Shop Boys, Suicide, Laurie Anderson and Brian Eno. Their renditions pay tribute to a rich history of electronic music, with new sounds that continue to push further into the future.

YACHT, a contributor and previous Moogfest curator, praises the company behind the collaboration, 'We love how Moog brings artists together. The sound of the machines and the culture of the company are like a bridge across genres and generations.

Over the last several years, the festival has evolved to include a mind-expanding conference for creative and technology professionals. In 2014, Moogfest worked with designers and technologists at Google, researchers from the MIT Media Lab, editors from Make Magazine and organizers from the Eyeo Festival (among others) to present panels, workshops and demos at the forefront of art and technology. Presentations by music pioneers Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, Janelle Monae, and Keith Emerson were accompanied by conversations with inventors and electronic instrument designers Roger Linn and Tom Oberheim, plus Futurama creator David X Cohen. Moogfest also commissioned “Moogfest: Conductar”, a virtual reality app, nominated for two Webby Awards. Moogfest is already developing new programming and plans to bring similar exciting partnerships to Durham in 2016.

The festival’s priority remains a focus on intimate venues for performance and conversation, encouraging the same ambience established in Asheville. Moogfest will activate many of Durham’s downtown event venues and public spaces with a mix of ticketed and free community programming.

Moogfest is a tribute to Dr. Robert Moog and the profound influence his inventions have had on how we hear the world. Over the last sixty years, Bob Moog and Moog Music have pioneered the analog synthesizer and other technology tools for artists. This exchange between engineer and musician is celebrated with a unique festival format, where the creative process is understood as a collaboration among many people, across time and space, in commerce and culture.

Host Shawn Jimmerson's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pyraphonic

"It's the Noiseblast Hour, brought to you by Noise Engineering, hosted by Pyraphonic (aka Shawn Jimmerson)! This is the fourth installment in a series of indeterminate length and sporadic release (h/t Roman Mars). Watch here for future episodes!

For this fourth episode of The Noiseblast Hour, we welcome Blakmoth to the stage. BLAKMOTH is a a Maryland based electronic musician specializing in a lofi, dark, and brooding ambient aesthetic he calls “Doombient.” Influenced by doom/death metal, techno and cinematic soundtracks. With an artist's palette of modular synths, field recordings, and tape loops, Blakmoth paints emotive soundscapes with aspirations of film scoring.

Debuting in 2017 BLAKMOTH has released a prolific catalog of 23 albums, including a new EP “Deluge“ released in June of 2020, with another solo release coming this year alongside a collaborative release with Andy Black.

Blakmoth is an advocate for mental health, having struggled with anxiety and depression from an early age. 'Listening or creating music was always a great coping tool and escape from the noise of anxiety. I create music today hoping that it helps provide that same safe space destination for someone else, or inspires them to pick up music therapy.'"

first test - moog werkstatt driving a mattson mini modular

Published on Jan 28, 2015 hewstigator

"testing my laurentide synthworks modded moog werkstatt running patches to and from the mattson modular to make sure there are no weird grounding or stability issues between the two. if you haven't seen what laurentide does to these werkstatt's you should definitely check it out - nearly all available space is taken to install a giant bevy of 1/8" jacks, a MIDI-CV converter, fine tuning, and more (even a sort of "grit" circuit is added...) basically turning this thing into a super compact, modular workhorse! (http://www.laurentidesynthworks.net/)

in this video, the werkstatt sends out a clock (via its square LFO), gate and keyboard pitch CV to the mattson, which in turn sends back an arpeggiated pitch CV to the werkstatt oscillator (you don't hear the arpeggiated oscillator until about 1:15). sorry about the wacky video angle - the area i have the modular set up is pretty tight!

all of the bwazillion patch jacks obviate the need to play the werkstatt's built-in keyboard, but it is super handy to have the tiny keyboard right there tucked in with everything else while setting up patches.

this werkstatt/mattson combo can also be heard on the track "a healer is born" starting at around two minutes in our band's latest EP (although the patch is a fairly basic since i had just gotten the werkstatt when finalizing the song!) https://thenewlines.bandcamp.com/albu..."

Live Techno Series #3 - MC-909 & Virus - Simon Stokes

YouTube via siedgey

"Hi ho folks!

At last, it is time once again for another live techno video! I've bought myself a shiny new digital camera, and today I set up my old setup, keeping it all hardware for sound mangling. The MC-909 is sequencing everything, with parts 1-8 playing from the Virus TI2 and parts 9-16 playing off the 909 itself. All of that is then running into the Behringer Tweakalizer for some more knob twiddling fun, then into the Alesis 3630 compressor to be squashed. Finally, it is recorded in Ableton Live.

It's a bit rough around the edges - a combination of too many sounds to tweak / mute and too few hands to do it with...so you'll have to excuse the arrangement. All comments are warmly appreciated..

Things have been going well recently - I was Djing with Matthias Tanzmann at New Year in Glasgow, which was excellent; Carl Cox has become my number one fan(!!), dropping tracks from the Rekluse EP all over the place including on his radio show twice; and I am in the process of signing up a load more tracks with some rather awesome labels...watch this space!

Thanks for all the support, it means a whole lot to me. For any bookings, please get in touch with me through the links below.

Cheers!

Mick Jagger with Moog Modular in Performance

You might remember Mick Jagger in Performance from the video below posted back on March 24, 2011. The Alternative Shipping Forecast has a post up with additional details on the Moog system used. Click through for the full post.

"In Analog Days: The invention and impact of the Moog synthesizer [on Amazon], Trevor Pinch and Frank Trocco tell the story of Jon Weiss, the Man from Moog, who traveled to London in the summer of 1968 with a series of black carrying cases that contained the component parts of the Moog Series III modular synthesizer. His students in London were to be the Rolling Stones, whose manager, Allan Klein, had managed to convince Robert Moog that, for promotional purposes, the Stones would receive a Moog synthesizer and a week’s free tuition...

The Stones’ electronic experiments come to the fore not on any of their studio albums, but on the tracks they recorded for Performance, the Donald Cammell/Nicolas Roeg film that was in production at exactly that moment. Mick was so taken with the device that it became a prop in the film itself, its aura of technological futurity fitting well with the film’s experimentalism and surrealism."
