The Galaxy Electric - Cosmic Tape Music - Improvised Modular Performance - Into the Unknown


Premiered Jan 2, 2020 The Galaxy Electric

Also see Buchla Cosmic Drone Sessions by The Galaxy Electric

"Thanks for listening! Come on a musical voyage with us where we'll send you a new song every day, a cosmic story, and a chance to earn space treasure: https://thegalaxyelectric.lpages.co/5...

This is the first installment of a series of improvised modular synth performance mixed with pop elements - female vocals and mellotron.
These elements combined with a tempo synchronized looping technique provide a rich sonic landscape of cosmic texture inspired by the early electronic and tape music innovators. This music is especially inspired by Space Age era electronic music. The effects are spring reverb, tape delay and the occasional reversing of the recorded phrase. Our goal is to combine analog and digital technology to recreate this early electronic music tonal variety in an improvised setting.

Equipment used:
Buchla Music Easel
Buchla DIY case
Buchla Clones: 266r Source of Uncertainty, 291r Dual Voltage Controlled Filter, 280r Quad Function Generator, 292c Quad Lopass Gate, 259r Programmable Complex Waveform Generator, 281h Dual Function Generator, 292h Dual Lopass Gate, LEM 3U Powered Boat, 280 Touch Activated Voltage Source
1979 Modular: Dual Algorithmic Oscillator, Digital Resonator, Stereo Microsound Processor
Eurorack: Koma Elektronik Field Kit, Erica Synths Pico EG and Pico Input, 4ms Dual Looping Delay and Row 30 Power, Mutable Instruments Warps, Synovatron CVGT1
Mellotron 4000D Mini
Roland RE-20 Space Echo Pedal
Pigtronix Infinity Looper
Onde Magnétique OM-1 Cassette Synthesizer
Monome Grid controlling MLR {re:mix Max for Live app}

Camera:
Apple iPhone X

Buchla Cosmic Drone Sessions by The Galaxy Electric


Published on Nov 21, 2019 The Galaxy Electric

You might remember the first video previously posted here. The above is a playlist of all the videos in the series.

You cand find The Galaxy Electric at https://www.thegalaxyelectric.com.

"Relax and tune into our live weekly improvised Drone Sessions. This inaugural session involves a drone featuring four independent Buchla style square wave oscillators starting in tune a couple octaves apart. As the oscillator frequencies drift apart by way of manual control, beating ensues. Listening to droning oscillators can serve as an aid in a meditation practice as there is no sudden changes in sound. Just smooth drifts in pitch and the resulting beat frequencies. Drones can also serve as an ambient track to have on while doing tasks that require intense focus. The slow yet progressive nature of a drone performance can help one focus on tasks without distraction. The fact that we are manipulating these oscillators live and in collaboration helps the drone meander ever so smoothly in an evolving fashion as we are always reacting to one another's subtle movements. These movements are improvised so there is an unrehearsed and reactive ebb and flow to the tones generated.

The electronic music instruments used in this performance of modular drone music are the Buchla Music Easel, and a small system involving a Buchla clone model 259 Programmable Complex Waveform Generator, Buchla 292h Dual Lowpass Gate, and 281h Dual Function Generator in the Buchla LEM Powered 3 Boat.

Patch and Tell - E1 - Buchla Clones 280r 266r Pseudo Sequence - Source of Uncertainty - 1979 DAO

"Augustus Green of The Galaxy Electric uses a Buchla inspired modular synthesizer system to demonstrate making a randomly generated pseudo sequence using the 266r Source of Uncertainty Buchla clone, 280r Quad Envelope Generator Buchla clone, 1979 modular Dual Algorithmic Oscillator DAO, and 292c Quad Lopass Gate Buchla clone. The DAO is a dual version of the masterful Émilie Gillet's Mutable Instruments Braids. The new dual interface design and electrical engineering to assure Buchla system compatibility was performed by 1979 modular. The HARM and TOY* Algorithms are featured in this patch. The varied pitches as well as the animation of the DAO's parameters are being generated at random by the Source of Uncertainty. The 292c Quad Lopass Gate is used as a dual VCA in this instance and is being animated by the 280r Quad Envelope Generator. This is a modular synthesizer tutorial and demonstration that focuses on the Buchla modular synthesizer system."
