On February 24th 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, murdering thousands of innocent people and causing the biggest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.

My friend Igor Leus, sound designer of Natlife Sounds, was forced to remain in Kharkov, Ukraine because of the laws preventing military-aged males from leaving while his wife and son, Elena and Danila, fled to Germany.

During this stream we will be raising money for Igor, Elena and Danila while checking out his awesome sound pack Cybertrance Vol 1 for my beloved Korg Prologue Analogue Synthesizer.

Please invite friends, 100% of donations go to Igor and his family. Together the Scum Family can do our part to help."

Clean-Up Raves in Ukraine

"Buildings destroyed by Russian invasion become 'clean-up raves' for volunteers missing Ukraine's techno festivals

A bombed-out building in northern Ukraine has been turned into a rave for more than 200 people just months after the region was devastated by the Russian invasion.

The daytime 'clean-up rave' was organised by young Ukrainians who have been using dance parties to aid the recovery effort.

'Techno parties, especially rave festivals, it was our lifestyle before, when we met with friends and spent time," one of the group's organisers said.

'Last summer, every weekend festivals (were) here in Ukraine, in Kyiv.

'So, we miss it and we want to come back to normal life but our normal life now is volunteering.'

Shovels in hand, the volunteers tossed piles of debris into the loader of a tractor from the remnants of the centre, which was destroyed by a rocket strike in March.

Ukraine's vibrant club scene was brought to an abrupt halt with the Russian invasion on February 24.

A night-time curfew in the capital Kyiv forced lovers of Ukraine's party culture to combine the fun and freedom of a festival with rebuilding their homes.

Most of the Yahidne volunteers, primarily in their 20s and 30s, came from Kyiv, about two hours' drive away.

Others have come from the western city of Lviv and nearby Chernihiv, while some foreign volunteers have arrived from Portugal, the United States, Germany and elsewhere.

The clean-up was the group's eighth event so far, restoring the centre and 15 homes in the village."

Scanner Live at FoxFest 2022

"This live set was recorded to raise funds for the Red Cross Ukraine and originally transmitted on 21 May 2022, at the end of a long day of live music at FoxFest, a live music event curated by Werra Foxma Records. At the time I was rather suffering from a nasty bout of flu, so clearly wasn't at my best and as such I failed to fix the focus of one of the cameras, so my apologies for that. I hope you will enjoy it, despite that. The show was improvised, as always, so I also had little expectation of what was to follow."

This one ships from Ukraine.

"The unit is professionally serviced, tested & perfect working condition with signs of use.

"Formanta UDS fully analog electronic percussion synthesizer. Formanta UDS is soviet version of classic analog beat-box so as Roland TR and Simmons. Synth was prodused in 80-s years in USSR on the same military plant in Kachkanar where well known synth Polivoks was developed.
Sound of UDS is very aggressive and "military". And it looks like the piece of soviet army gear - heavy, khaki colored and studded with knobs. It is very powerfull drum synth. You have 5 independent channels of drum sound synthesis. In every channel you can change: trigger signal sensitivity, base tone pitch, pitch envelope time, amount of pitch modulation, noise/tone ballance, filter's cutoff for noise, accent amount, channel's volume. Then we have additional channel for cymbal and hi-hat synth sounds. UDS has its own onboard drum sequencer with 16 different drum patterns. You can start sequencer, choose one from 16 patterns and change its temp by knob. You can switch every synthesis channel to its preset sound or switch it in "synthesis" mode and then control channel's parameters by 8 knobs. Also you can trig every channel by external trigger source - drum mashine, analog sequencer or electronic drum pad. On its top there are mono sum audio out and stereo audio out. All audio plugs in common jack standart. You can get many cool grooves just using its internal sequencer, not to mention external triggering.

And the interview. It's always cool to hear the story behind the artist (and supporting members). Astrogenic Hallucinauting, aka SPIKE the Percussionist, is a classically trained musician. Sad to hear the interviewer Ayn Morgan passed away.

SUPERBOOTH22 Makes Adjustments for Ukraine Refugees

via SUPERBOOTH

We hereby inform you about the revised room plan for SUPERBOOTH22 & SOOPERgrail – BeSOOPER. Parts of the FEZ-Berlin are in the potential control of the city of Berlin as an emergency residence for refugees from Ukraine. Out of consideration for this circumstance, we have partially rearranged our event. Please find all details in the attached press release. Thank you.

Press release follows:

„We have revised our space concept for beSOOPER and discovered the Badesee (Bathing Lake), now there is even more air and space for sound and visions of new music.“

Parts of FEZ-Berlin are in the potential access of the city as emergency accommoda- tion for refugees from Ukraine - which is of course appropriate and important. Against this background, it has been decided to develop further areas in the park grounds, to do without the use of the West Wing and to divide the Seebühne (Sea-side Stage) bet- ween two new locations. All artists announced for the Seebühne will be presented on the beach stage at the Badesee (Bathing Lake) and the new stage in the circus tent.

beSOOPER will thus be even bigger, with even more space and activities both outdoors and indoors: more than 150 booths with all kinds of electronic musical instruments and guitars of all known and unknown types, about twenty performances, concerts, presen- tations and workshops per day, including some late-night activities in the Bungalowdorf (Bungalow Village).

The daily cultural program will start at the latest with the workshop presentation of the
SOOPERGrail Modular Synthesizer Ensemble at 1:30 pm and will continue outdoors at full intensity and
volume until at least 10 pm.

Most of the booths and activities for guitar enthusiasts are concentrated on the upper floor of FEZ-Berlin, while the SOOPERgrail concerts will take place in the circus tent. Many of the countless synthesizer and modular manufacturers can be found and expe- rienced in the now expanded tent village - as already very successfully realized in 2021. The well-known and popular catering partners for food and drinks can be found at all outdoor locations.

In the foyer of the FEZ-Berlin there is the general info desk again, as well as the familiar ticket entrance for all visitors and artists, exhibitors and press partners. Guests arriving by public transport via the S-Bahn station Wuhlheide can get their wristband already at the bungalow village, upon presentation of their digital or printed ticket.
SUPERBOOTH22 // 12.-14. May 22:
One-day Ticket 35 EUR, discounted 25 EUR (THU, FRI, SAT)
Three-day Ticket 90 EUR, discounted 70 EUR (THU, FRI & SAT)

SOOPERgrail // 13. Und 14. May 2022:
One-day Ticket 18 EUR, discounted 15 EUR (FRI or SAT)
Two-day Ticket 30 EUR, discounted 25 EUR (FRI & SAT)

• The aforementioned discounts apply to the unemployed, students, pupils, physically or mentally impaired upon presentation of the appropriate proof at the entrance to the event.
• Until further notice, access is subject to compliance with the usual Corona rules, it is as sumed that there will also be a mask requirement on the premises. In case of non-compli ance, we reserve the right to expel guests from the premises without refunding the ticket price after issuing an appropriate warning.
• All tickets will be personal and subject to compliance with the applicable regulations.
• Until further notice, tickets will only be sold in advance and online.
• In the event of a pandemic-related postponement or necessary cancellation of the event,
tickets will remain valid until the last planned alternative date in September 2023.

The war of aggression on Ukraine leaves us speechless.

We sympathize and stand in solidarity with the suffering and struggling people in Ukraine and with the refugees who are being forced to leave their homes.

Our donation goes to CADUS e.V. which helps war refugees in Ukraine and worldwide. We would like to thank all those who do the same, if possible!

ASTROGENIC HALLUCINAUTING - late night noiz for late night fiends

video upload by thenoiztemple

"Another threshold of noiz crossed...500 improvisational noiz sessions. A soundtrack for the denizens of the darkest times of the night. For this session I wanted to show how one of these noiz and video occurrences comes about. Starting with a blank slate on some machines and a bit of environments on others like the norns. The choice of machines and pedals is always evolving so it usually starts as a random convergence of happy accidents. Finally, after all of the noiz is designed...the video aspect is created. In this case the three camera views become the source. Hopefully the viewer can get an idea of how this all evolves. These sessions will continue...possibly not as frequently...but I never know. Noiz addiction is a defining factor. - for more noiz: https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/as... website: http://manipulate.net This is a series of live noiz and video noiz performances.

Noise Engineering Joins Music for Peace Campaign to Help Ukraine

You might remember Erica Synths Music for Peace campaign to help Ukraine. Noise Engineering has joined in.

via Erica Synths:

"Erica Synths sincerely thanks all who are participating in MUSIC FOR PEACE and have shown their support - as of March 24th 2022 altogether 45 553,25 EUR have been raised & donated to humanitarian aid organisations in Ukraine.

Today marks a month since the beginning of the war in Ukraine and as the attention to what's happening slowly seeks out it is as important as ever to continue the work to support the cause in any way possible for each of us.

Our friends and colleagues at Noise Engineering joins Music For Peace fundraiser by donating the profit from all purchases of Loquelic Iteritas and Clep Diaz modules and in addition they will match any profit made - up to 10 000 USD."

And via Noise Engineering:

"When terrible things happen in the world, it can be hard to know how to help.

The Eurorack community has members around the world, and some have been directly affected by the horrible attacks in Ukraine. We’ve always felt fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful community, and we want to help in any way we can.

Our friends at Erica Synths, based in Latvia, have been working hard: as well as directly working to help Ukrainian synth manufacturers, they recently announced their Music for Peace initiative, donating profits from a selection of their modules to humanitarian aid. At the time of this writing, they have already contributed 43,904.00 EUR. We considered a few ways that we could help out, but realized we’d have the most impact if we involved you, our wonderful customers – this is about supporting our community and people in need, and the best way to do that is by working together.

In collaboration with our friends at Erica Synths, we are happy to contribute to the Music for Peace Initiative. Through the end of the month, we will donate the profit from all purchases of Loquelic Iteritas and Clep Diaz modules from our webshop. We will also add a company match of these profits, up to US$10,000.

The money will be added to the Music for Peace fund, to be donated to humanitarian aid via ziedot.lv."

NatLife pres. ILI - Sweet Nowhere

video upload by Igor Leus

"Probably, if the war had not started, I would have been digging with this track for a long time, preparing a video clip for it. But it happened, fortunately or unfortunately, I decided not to wait any longer, because it may happen that there will no longer be such an opportunity to post this track, so I prepared such a sketch for this work. Again, due to the events that are currently taking place in my country, namely the fall of shells outside the window, there will be no official release, and if the track is popular enough, I will do a free download.

Nameless Song......

video upload by Denis Polic

"It took me a long time to do anything with music, or to play music under these terrible circumstances. We all thought that the lessons of past would never be repeated on European soil. How wrong and gullible we were. For the second time in European history, one dictator is challenging one nation's right to exist, negating its language and culture, and bringing ruin into the midst of that people in order to achieve his nationalist goals with war and destruction.

The dictatorship that has been set up in its own country is trying with all its power and propaganda to silence all the voices of peace, so it remains hidden to us how many are for, how many are against this madness, and how many are just idly watching what is happening, maybe out of fear or out of indifference. In fact, anyone who supports or endorses this war in any way has blood on their hands and is responsible for the greatest shame in Europe since WWII.

I have strong connections in both of these countries, so it's particularly incomprehensible to me how this could all happen.

So, i was just trying to soothe my growing anger and despair with music, hoping for an soon end of this madness. I name it 'Nameless Song', for all the nameless victims of this tragedy."

"I wrote this track in 2019 and dedicated it to my baby Danila. All my sentimentality was connected with my son. Now he is far from me, I had to part with him because of the war in Ukraine. I don't know if I'll ever meet my son again. Sitting here under shelling in Kharkov, I understand that this may not happen, but I want to believe and hope that I will succeed.

For Peace. Against War. Who is not?*
A Compilation for the people of Ukraine

On February 24th 2022 Putin invaded Ukraine. Online we chatted about this and our situation as artists, feeling powerless in the face of this war.The only thing that came to mind was to use what we can do best for some greater good. Use music to raise money and support the people of Ukraine. So we put out this call:

'We are extremely concerned about the war in Ukraine and the aggression of Putin’s army.

We are trying to do our small part by raising money and raising awareness for the humanitarian disaster that is happening in Europe right now.

We are looking for artists from all around the world in the genres of electronic music, experimental, ambient, industrial, Techno and related styles for a compilation. We would like to make this as broad as possible, so if in doubt, please submit your tracks.

We encourage everyone from everywhere to submit. We especially encourage submissions from underrepresented communities, from the global south, minorities, female identifying artists, LGBTIQ*-artists, yes, we encourage Russian artists to speak up.

'For Peace. Against War. Who is not?' is a quote by Susan Sontag, an American writer, filmmaker, philosopher, teacher, and political activist

The compilation was initiated and produced by Snowbeasts (Elizabeth Virosa & Robert Galbraith) and Kai Niggemann.

Cover art by Noah G. Hirka www.ichorandteeth.com

Mastered by Robert Galbraith except where noted.

All proceeds from the sale of this compilation will be split evenly between the charities Vostok SOS and the Ukrainian Red Cross.
