Centrifuge (mp3)

"I used a ribbon controller on this track to modulate the CS's filter cutoff as I played. That's what was creating the swells throughout the song, and those rhythmic effects in the bridge.

For those interested, the bass is my Alembic Distillate for both for the bassline and the distorted melody doubling (thru an EHX tube overdrive unit). I used a Fender Strat thru a mic'd (SM-57) Champion 300 amp for the solo. Everything was recorded thru an Alembic F2-B tube preamp, and I used a Moog MF-104z for the delay effects. My audio workstation is pretty modest - consisting of an M-Audio 1814 adapter, and an older version of Cubase SX.

Thanks for listening - all feedback is welcome! I'm kinda new to this recording stuff, but I have a few other tracks up on Myspace and my homepage as well -

The latest Cynthia gadget is the new ZOe ... a Buchla modular format Zeroscillator!

Shown is the second front panel prototype with temporary LEDs and engraved graphics. They're still playing around with the choice of knobs while waiting for a large order of finished circuit boards to arrive.

The actual $1,500 production models will feature the familiar blue silk screened panel graphics and fit seamlessly into your Buchla modular both physically and electronically.

There are no digital connections to the ZOe as it is 100 percent all-analog, liquid-smooth, through-zero goodness - and designed to be a great compliment to any Buchla system.

This is a special limited run in this format.
They are shooting for mid May delivery, and now accepting orders. Please contact Cynthia directly through her website for ordering info!

"The EGG plugs into any stereo Amplifier to create soothing flowing environmental sound textures - and through headphones it's incredible. The chords and notes EXIST in your mind, they pan and swell and phase their way through your psyche in unpredictable patterns, never repeating.

The combination of LSI organ technology with synthesizer type processing and digital randomizing/control elements make the EGG an altogether intriguing package from either technological or metaphysical viewpoints."
