video upload by david rothbaum

"The main instrument here is the Assimil8or. I sampled harmonics on my Fender Bass VI for a project with @jonat8han a little while back then yesterday I created a simplified version of that instrument on the Assimil8or using the new midi expander to make it polyphonic.

Sequencing - @squarpinstruments Hermod +
Delay - @intellijel Sealegs
Bass - Atlantis
Mixed with heavy use of the internal limiter - @noiseeng Xer Mixa

Thanks for listening."

KEITH MCMILLEN QUNEXUS RED:
Redesigned with an ultra-durable ABS-polycarbonate red enclosure, the QuNexus RED from Keith McMillen is the same compact, feature-rich, 25-key MIDI/CV controller you know and love, but with a few upgrades. Aside from the aesthetic change, the new QuNexus is fully equipped to handle the MPE software and hardware."

And a couple outdoor performances by David:

12.8.22 // Remote Ambient Modular Synth performance.

"This was composed, recorded and filmed at the ruins of Camp 16 in the Angeles National Forest. At one point this was a Nike missile site. Then later it was a training area for inmate firefighters until it burned down in the 2009 station fire where two firefighters were killed defending the camp.

It is a rather somber place, but also quite beautiful.

Thanks for watching."

12.15.22.// Ambient Modular


"This was composed & recorded at the Chilao campground in the Angeles National Forest.

I very rarely have a destination in mind, more a direction. I drive until I find a spot that I like then usually I have to hike around a bit till I find a spot to actually set up. Then, once all the gear is set up I sit down to compose. The composition process in this case took about two hours. After that, I set up all the camera gear, film the performance, then get the B roll. In this case the entire process from leaving the house to getting back home took about seven hours.

This is the first time I used the @1010_music Bluebox to record. It was awesome to be able to do a remote performance and get a multitrack recording that I could fine-tune once I got back home."

The Music of Room 237 [Stanley Kubrick's The Shining]

YouTube Uploaded by jonat8han on Jan 22, 2012

"In 1980 Stanley Kubrick released his masterpiece of modern horror, The Shining. Over 30 years later we are still struggling to understand its hidden meanings. Rodney Ascher's film Room 237 is an exploration of the truths concealed in The Shining.

Kubrick's film was scored in large part with pre existing classical recordings, but the score for Room 237 has taken as its inspiration the elegant but quirky film music that accompanied low budget horror movies in the 1970s. Composers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson utilize a combination of vintage and contemporary analogue synthesizers, as well as acoustic instruments to create an atmosphere that is at once both haunting and funky.

Musicians:
Jonathan Snipes - Synthesizers, Pianos, Vocoder, Percussion
William Hutson - Synthesizers, Percussion
David Rothbaum - Guitars & Bass
Nick Murray - Drums
Maryclare Brzytwa - Flute
Bear McCreary - Clavinet
Cristina Bercovitz - Vocal Effects
