ZOIA by Empress Effects (Sneak Peek) #Jamuary2019 : 08

Published on Jan 8, 2019 cuckoomusic

"It’s day 8 of #jamuary2019 and I have the privilege to give you a sneak peek of #ZOIA by @empress_effects It’s a digital modular in a box. No computer needed to make patches. There are lot's of modular building blocks in this box, and it's totally up to you to make it work and sound the way you want it to work. There's MIDI, CV and expressive pedal input.

It’s already great, but the Beta period is very important. Follow Empress Effects to catch the release announcement when the time is right for that."

What is Jamuary? Post one musical jam every day of January (or as many days as you can). Keep it simple. Get going. Instagram probably has the strongest community surrounding Jamuary. And it's great over there, since the 1-minute limit is helping a lot in keeping it simple, and getting over the starting barrier. Contribute yourself, or just get inspired by the musical community of the world.

CUCKOO's first OP-Z live set (Berlin 2018)

Published on Jul 31, 2018 cuckoomusic

"Teenage Engineering is coming out with the OP-Z really soon!! I've been part of the beta testing phase this year. In this gig in Berlin, I'm using a generation 2 beta unit or something.. Gen 3? So if you think I'm struggling with the keys when playing, to my defence the beta units have been pretty stiff in the buttons. This has been addressed, and now, a few generations later, I've been told that it's much much nicer to play on. Can't wait to get the final unit in my hands!!!"
