Haunted ballroom music with Norns & Ableton Wavetable

Published on Sep 29, 2018 junklight

"I've never seen strictly come dancing but ballrooms make me think of Hookland & M John Harrison short stories and ghosts....

The rhythm samples are all made from the fantastic Spitfire Audio Union Chapel organ (which I use a lot of things in case you hadn't noticed) and are sequenced with the fantastic Norns Foulplay

I've said it before and I'll say it again but I rather like the Ableton Wavetable synth - its got a certain something about it"

Monome Norns Arcologies In the Woods

video by Perplex On

"Please enjoy this little ambient jam in the woods. I'm using a custom #Nornsshield loaded with #Arcologies script and two #Launchpadmini as a poor-man's Grid in combination with #midigrid library. The background pads were done by routing the raw sound form Arcologies through #BleassGranulizer and #Velvetmachine on an iPad and then loaded this recording into Norns' tape to play in the background."

ALLINAIRE Live - Good Space Block Party (Monome Norns + ARC + Zoia + Bluebox)

video by Allinaire

"Reconstructed Live Video from the Good Space Block Party (29th May 2021, The Rocks, Sydney). Using Monome Norns with ARC controller & 16n Faderbank giving Granular control of several sound sources.
1010 Bluebox is used as the mixer and is streaming field recordings of ocean waves, wind, bells, sticks and other assorted noises being processed via Empress Effects ZOIA through a custom Granular and Ring Mod patch and Bluebox's own effects and filters - using a Zone K2 Midi Controller fully mapped to Bluebox and ZOIA.

The track is an extended, modified and live version of my track 'Nrem REM' from the Album 'Heiro' available on Bandcamp: https://allinaire.bandcamp.com/album/...

Note: This video is reconstructed from 2 takes. About half way through the live set on the night the 1010 Bluebox froze and became unresponsive (most likely due to a power issue - working with Aaron of 1010 now to sort out the issue) meaning all the mixing, half the field recording and audio sources with all internal effects, and the effect send to Zoia were unavailable. Rather than stop completely I was forced to carry on with what was still working which changed the final outcome completely. Obviously very disapointing but it just shows that gear failures can happen anytime - I'll need to reconsider some gear choices and power sources due to this issue.

For the purposes of completeness I decided to use an earlier live rehearsal recording to add back the 'missing' pieces by splicing it in about half way - so the video is not fully 'live' in that regard. The first half has also been edited in a couple of places to make this a shorter video. I've tried to match the video to the correct audio but a couple of inconsistencies may be evident.

I'd like to thank VJ 'ATTM' for the excellent Live video projection and live video feed and the amazing Luke Snarl for facilitating this part of the Good Space event and running the sound. Thanks to Good Space for hosting the event.

"experimental ambient. live performance for monome norns, piano, and juno 106 synthesizer.

a moment of stillness on the canyon floor. a bench just off the trail. the final minutes of autumn twilight. leaves rustling and crackling, a nuttall's woodpecker trilling, black phoebes chirping, the dwindling blur of traffic at the end of the day.

three piano melodies and juno 106 pads were recorded into norns and loaded into mlr, performed on the grid. the piano and synthesizer improvisations are played as-is, then layered, relooped, redirected, and reordered. in the background is the stereo field recording of that part of the canyon.

The Cheat Boxes - Roland J-6, Boss Dm-2w, Korg NTS-1, norns shield - Ambient demo by gattobus

video upload by gattobus

"Creating new tunes with the new Aira Compact J-6 almost feels like cheating.
It contains a lot of arpeggio styles and all the chord progressions and harmonies for past, present and future music: it's up to you how to put them together and create new cool songs.
Korg NTS-1 and norns shield are the perfect couple to create cool digital soundscapes and FX: I love them.
Boss Dm-2w is one if the best analog delay stompbox I've ever had: it sounds huge and creamy and it adds that warm analog texture to anything you put through it.
This song was born while I was just playing around with these little boxes, I hope you like it!"

Welcome to the Norns 🎛 | Monome Eurorack Jam

video upload by Andrea Marzilli

"Finally, I own the most inspiring machine I ever met since the past three years. Monome did an awesome work with the Norns, can't wait to explore it in depth!
Let's dive into this first soundscape
.
Here you can hear "Fall", an incredibly sounding script from @Ambalek _: pink noises and triangle waves meet the magical flavor of @Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio, creating the main atmosphere of the jam.
@mutableinstruments Plaits is going into Beads, both modulated by Monsoon Looping Dealy for some juicy little distant grooves on the stereo field.
I just love this combo.



Wear your headphones, please. 🎧"

Orca on the Norns, Microfreak , Eurorack - DPO etc.

"Installed Orca on my Norns today! lovely - here it is outputting midi and playing a sample. I'm pretty sure you can do what I was doing with the keyboard using the grid as well but that's for another day

Been listening to early Chris Carter today so was exploring sequences and rhythms rather than the keyboard driven stuff I often make....."

Monome Norns Zellen with Crow support

Published on Nov 3, 2019 S. B. Arweiler

"I've added Crow support to Zellen, my sequencer for Monome Norns, so now Zellen can talk to eurorack via Monome Crow.

The first part of the patch is the alternative CV sequencing Mangrove, that is processed through Cold Mac and then looped (via "Freeze") in Bastl Thyme. The second part is the CV out and trigger pinging Three Sisters. Everything goes through Bastl Thyme for delay.

Crow configuration for Zellen:
Input 1: Clock
Input 2: CV offset
Output 1: CV
Output 2: Trigger
Output 3: Alternative CV
Output 4: Clock
