Shiro Fujioka - Nagini

Published on Jul 1, 2014 VoltageCtrlRtv·35 videos

"This is some footage of me working on a composition for my up coming release. The theme of the song Nagini is about the simi-divine beings that are half human, half snake. Known as the guardians of precious minerals, gems and other riches stored beneath the earth.
They dwell in splendid subterranean or sub-aquatic abodes, or in inaccessible mountain caves.

This is the vision that inspired the modular synth composition."

J Dilla - Phantom of the Synths (VoltageCtrlr cover)

Published on Feb 12, 2014 VoltageCtrlRtv·21 videos

"This composition is dedicated to the memory of the legendary HipHop producer J Dilla.
I find it very important to keep an artist legacy alive by giving thanks for their
creative accomplishments and respecting their work and not stepping on their toes.
A lot of people do Dilla tributes but most of them are written from a HipHop perspective, that's totally cool. i just wanted to do something different.
Given that HipHop producers sample from all styles of music I thought it would be an
interesting exercise to listen to a Dilla produced song and make an analog modular synth composition inspired by his use of Giorgio Moroder's 'Theme From Midnight Express',
I made sure to not listen to the original before recording because I didn't want it to influence my version.

This is a live one take improvised modular synth performance, no multi tracking, samples or editing. This composition begins with the feeling of loss and sorrow knowing that Dilla's catalog of music is complete and he will never write another song... then I slowly bring in the main melody and from there I pick up the pace as an energetic celebration of his life and legacy.
This is just an auditory thank you from me to Dilla and his family.
Be sure to donate anything you can to the Dilla foundation.

Eddie Harris - 'Zambezi Dance' Improv modular synth cover

Published on Feb 9, 2014 VoltageCtrlRtv·20 videos

"Jazz has always been a big influence in my life thanks to my Grandmother exposing me to it at an early age. Eddie Harris has always been one of my favorites, the 'Instant Death' LP is an incredible album from start to finish and it also holds more nostalgia because this album has been sampled by a few of my favorite HipHop artist back in the day.

This is a live one take improvised composition using my analog modular synth and the Arturia Microbrute.

For this composition I setup a complex analog modular synth patch built around the 250e patch from the MakeNoise Pressure Points / Brains manual. The bassline sequence is being generated by the Arturia Microbrute.

The Microbrute sequence is also controlling the pitch of the Harvestman Piston Honda and the envelope is being generated by the Malekko/Richter Envelator. This patch was way too busy to reverse engineer anymore of it.

Enjoy
Shiro Fujioka aka voltagectrlr"
