"A self-playing patch featuring Serge, Lorre-Mill, Blacet/Frac and Bugbrand modular synths and ZOIA Euroburo from Empress FX. Bad lighting but some neat sounds. Probably longer than it needs to be, lol."

"Lots of synths were used in the making of Portend (Sequential Pro 3, ASM Hydrasynth, MakeNoise Shared System) and the video features video synths (LZX Vidiot, Geiskes 3TrinsRGB, Critter & Guitari EYESY)."

3am - kleine boxen

"Machines jamming out on the couch. 0-Coast, Strega, 0-Ctrl, Zoia Euroburos, CVilization, Joystick.
Just a self playing patch I put together while having breakfast."

3am - inference (Infernal Noise Machine)

video by justin3am

"This is a performance using an Infernal Noise Machine from Flight Of Harmony, controlled by a 0-CTRL from Make Noise. Also featuring a Quad Plague Bearer for extra grime and a Desmodus Versio for reverb.
I forgot to turn on the back light, so you can barely see what I'm doing, lol."

3am - u-he's CVilization - Matrix Mixer Sequencer Aid

justin3am

"This is my first demo for u-he's CVilization module. Using CVz's Matrix Mixer to process Sequences and modulation, it takes the place of a whole rack's worth of modules. Precision adding, Sample and Hold, Quantization... and that's just one application of Mode 1."

"Dark, dubby and damaged. First track with Waldorf Quantum. Sequenced with Elektron Octatrack. Make Noise Tempi/Rene V2 controls Shared System, Audio Damage Seq1 controls 0-Coast."

3am - self conjured

Published on Dec 15, 2018 justin3am

"Improvised synth and guitar jam. Lots of weird modular sounds and some guitar looping. All controlled from Nektar Pacer and sequenced with Elektron Octatrack."

3am - Steep

Published on Feb 3, 2018 justin3am

"Self-generating modular bleeps, screeches and rhythms. Improvised feedback.

Featuring:
Koma Field Kit
Pearl Snare Drum
Make Noise Shared System
Lots of other eurorack stuff
Elektron Analog Heat

I played a snare drum with a speaker, by feeding signal back from two contact mics attached to the drum, via a Koma Field Kit. Different tensions around the rim and dampening drum heads with my hands results in tonal changes depending on where I put the speaker."

3am - Lacryfi

Published on Jul 16, 2017 justin3am

"Improvised noise.
First experiments with Koma Electronik's Field Kit.
Marble rhythm processed with Phonogene and Deluxe Memory Man.
Woggle Bug processed by Plague Bearer and Deluxe Memory Man.
Spring drum processed by Clouds."

"Synth improv. 2 Eurorack modulars and a Make Noise 0-Coast. No human interaction."

Some great timbres in this one. Makes me feel like I'm in an electronic bayou.

Bitwig 2.0 CV Features

"Demonstrating the HW CV Instrument, HW CV Output, HW Clock Output and HW CV Input devices in Bitwig Studio 2.0.

Sorry the VO recording is pretty bad. I'm just figuring out how to do this kind of thing."

0-Coast first patch

Published on Jan 5, 2017 justin3am

"I told myself that I would stick to patching the 0-Coast to itself at first, but I couldn't help myself.

Audio Damage's Seq1 controls the Pitch, Overtone, Multiply and the Decay time of the Contour, triggers the Contour Generator and clocks the tempo input. Slope running at audio rate is patched to the linear FM input. The Random out controls the Slope Time and transposes Seq1.

The output of 0-Coast is connected to an Echophon. The LP-1 X-Y controller triggers Freeze and controls Echo Time and Pitch Depth on the Echophon."

"Live modular synth performance.
I'm starting to get the hang of recording songs this way. Camera angle provides a pretty good shot of my ass. I'll figure out a good angle, eventually."

Funny. :)

VCFQ demo

Published on Aug 6, 2016 justin3am

"A run through of the excellent Serge/Random*Source Variable Q VCF.

This is my first attempt to demonstrate a eurorack module with voice over. Not perfect but I think it gets the point across. Not really digging the fish-eye look... oh well."

Tracktion BioTek - New Organic Virtual Instrument from Wolframe Franke & Taiho Yamada

"This is a selection of demos from the new Tracktion BioTek virtual synthesizer. Each cue was performed live using a single BioTek patch in order to demonstrate the playability and expressiveness of the instrument. Wolfram Franke's powerful synth engine completely transforms sound between nature and technology via the central XY controller. It was an honor and pleasure to direct sound development for this project, and to contribute what I consider to be some of my best sound design work to date.

Special thanks to the entire BioTek sound design team, including Wolfram, Mike Wall, Sendy, justin3am, and Randy Lee. Check out electronic music from Wolfram Franke, Sendy and justin3am here on SoundCloud:

Wolframe Franke was previously with Waldorf. He was the developer behind Largo, PPG Wave 2.V & 3.V, Attack and Steinberg's V1. He also created Stroke Machine for the iPad.

Taiho Yamada was the Project Manager and Head of Sound Design at Alesis. He worked on the QuadraSynth, QS series, A6 Andromeda, Ion, Micron, and the Fusion HD workstations. He was also the man behind the M-Audio Venom.

Anyone know who the girl with the whisky bottle is? [Update: it's Kristina Childs who designed the UI for BioTek. Thanks to Lima in the comments for the info and Anonymous for the link!]

You'll find more info on Tracktion's BioTek on their website here. They also have a Micro Synth Pack.
