Smooth Electech - MC-909 LIVE (Part 6)

YouTube via siedgey.
"Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot for continuing to watch and enjoy my videos on Youtube, brings a tear to my (incredibly manly) eye.

I don't really know what genre this track is - if anyone has any ideas then comment! It was made in 1 night, recorded the next night. Smooth, rolling, melodic, highly compressed, slightly French...I could go on...

For some reason, the sound quality is far worse on the upload than the recorded video - apologies for that. Kinda makes it sound quite bass-heavy...ach well!

If you have any comments or questions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks again for watching...enjoy." Access Virus Classic.

minimoog bassline demo of Madonna - Get into the groove

YouTube via lewisjp8young.
"here's a demo clip of the bassline for the song (into the groove)it needs cleaning up with the correct notes etc. the sound is created by using very short decay times. the minimoog's 2 oscillator were very finely tuned by myself to get that grit sound that the minimoog growls out. if you know what i mean. these synths sound much better in real life."

bent not broken-a circuit bending doc

YouTube via caseyjclark. via GetLoFi.
"a short documentary about a group of circuit benders. recorded in chicago, usa. produced by Casey Clark."

After watching this I came to the epiphany that Circuit Bending is like the anti-christ of DIY. "Not that there's anything wrong with that..." A Seinfeld reference for any fans.

Music & Recording - Digisound 80 Modular Synthesizer

"Somewhere in proffessor Elektrovolt's studio,in the vruchtenbuurt,the Hague we can find a huge, rare british modular synthesizer from the early 80s, the Digisound 80 modular. Invented and designed by Charles Blackley who would print the designs in the Electronics Today International and Electronics & Music Maker (E&MM) magazines. As obscure and extrentic as the EMS synthesizers the company from Blackpool faded away in the early 1990s."
