Jamuary #4 (small synths & a tape loop) | Improv 2023

video upload by Musical Miscellany (Poorness Studios)

"My next video to celebrate Jamuary. I did a little composition with the Error Instruments Cloudbusting Organic, Error Instruments Broken Tape Simulator (BTS), KORG KO-1 Kaossilator, Korg Volca Beats, Korg Volca Bass, and a tape loop from The Void Electronics (played on my Sony TCM-200DV). There's also a couple audio files playing on the DAW to add ambience."

video upload by Poorness Studios

"I started messing around with the KORG KO-1 Kaossilator & Monotron Delay and I came up with some cool sounds. I added a tape loop from The Void Electronics (played on my Sony TCM-200DV) and voila... I climbed aboard a train to Glitchville."

"For the second Jamuary (Fridays in January) session, I used a tape loop (played on my Sony TCM-200DV w/ pitch control), Alchemy soft synth (controlled by my Oxygen25), and the KORG KO-1 Kaossilator. I'm pretty happy with the result. Special thanks to Marc from The Void Electronics for providing the awesome cassette.

Microbrute Layover

video upload by poorness studios

"I recently had a 4-hour layover in SLC airport and instead of sitting there bored... I decided to create this video. All sounds in this video were made with the Arturia Microbrute, a Sony TCM-200DV tape player (tape loop courtesy of The Void Electronics), and my Apple iPad. All the footage used in the video was captured with my smartphone."

In Every Leap (ambient tape loop jam)

video upload by poorness studios

"I got this 7-second tape loop from The Void Electronics. I made me think of an ambient pad, so I built this quick jam around the loop. I used my Eurorack modular synthesizer along with the Tele Blender from Error Instruments (normally thought of as a glitch instrument). Alchemy provides the soft synth sounds, and my Sony TCM-200DV is used to play the loop."

"I'm not really sure how to classify this track but I listened to this tape loop and it put me in the mood to create this video. I used my Sony TCM-200DV (playing a tape loop made by The Void Electronics), my Eurorack modular system, Alchemy soft synth, and my Aklot 15-string harp."

Dance Around (an upbeat tape loop jam)

video by poorness studios

"I was sick earlier this week and I couldn't sing, so I decided to compose something with 4 little battery-powered boxes. This track features: Sony TCM-200DV (playing a tape loop from The Void Electronics), KORG KO-1 Kaossilator, Error Instruments Broken Tape Simulator, and KORG Monotron Delay."

Error Instruments Broken Tape Simulator: Unboxing & Demo

video by poorness studios

"I recently did a review of the Acid Bee from Error Instruments. The owner of the company saw my video and sent me a discount code. I used it to buy this product, the Broken Tape Simulator. It is a super cool lofi effect pedal that emulates a broken tape machine. It's crazy!

Fish or Fig Bread (modular synth, tape loop, & soft synth)

video by poorness studios

"Continuing with the Weird Week series, here's a little electronic composition using my Eurorack modular synthesizer, a tape loop (playing on my Sony TCM-200DV), and Alchemy soft synth (controlled by the MAudio Oxygen25). It might be an odd combination but it ended up sounding pretty cool."

She's Back (tape loop, Acid Bee, Kaossilator, & kalimba)

video by poorness studios

"To kick off Weird Week, I attempted to use my new Acid Bee with some other instruments. I'm not really sure what I was going for but I kinda like the end result. I used a tape loop (played on my Sony TCM-200DV), the KORG KO-1 Kaossilator, and Aklot's acrylic kalimba along with the Acid Bee from Error Instruments."

Radio City (jamming w/live FM radio & tape loop)

video by poorness studios

"I decided to give this idea a try and I was fairly pleased with the results. I'm using a ByronStatics KCS-315 AM/FM radio and a Sony TCM-200DV variable-speed cassette player along with my Volca Bass, Volca Beats, and Microbrute synthesizers. The 7-second tape loop you hear was made by The Void Electronics in Ireland.

I made a playlist of other videos that involve cassettes: [below]

"Well this was fun. I decided to use my Sony TCM-200DV cassette player to play a 4-second tape loop. I got this cassette from The Void Electronics in Ireland. He does really nice work. I used the Arturia Microbrute and KORG KO-1 Kaossilator to jam along and make some crazy sounds. My Boss RV-6 Reverb and Rolls Multimix II also get involved.
