Threshold - Lainhart Performance in New York City October 16

via Richard Lianhart:
"Friends: on Thursday, October 16, at Judson Church in New York City, I'll be performing the premiere of my EMF-commissioned piece "Threshold", for electric guitar and Kyma, as part of the Ear To The Earth 2008 New York Soundscape festival.

Here are the details, and an excerpt
More about New York Soundscape

"Threshold" creates its soundscape through a process called cross-filtering, which runs on the Kyma system. In cross-filtering, the tonal characteristics of one sound, called the impulse response, are imposed on another, called the source, so that the end result is a sound that contains only the characteristics common to both. In this case, ambiences recorded in and around New York provide the source, and my guitar playing provides the impulse response. You hear neither directly, but only the result of the interaction between me and my environment.

Recording sources and locations: street traffic during a cab ride from 53rd Street to 89th Street; the lobby of the Museum of Modern Art, and a floor buffer in a side gallery; the lobby and galleries of the Guggenheim Museum; a trash compacter in the mid-50s; an air-conditioning compressor in the mid-50s; an industrial document shredder in the mid-80s; Olafur Elliason's New York Waterfall #4 at Pier 35; traffic on the FDR Drive at South Street; nocturnal insects and thunderstorms in Rockland County.

In addition, I'll be showing my short film LUX while performing a new live soundtrack consisting of the same NY sound sources used in Threshold, but this time processed with realtime spectral transformations to create a unique new ambience.

Those interested may download my original environmental sound source mix here, to do with as you wish:

Thanks, and I hope to see you there."

electro moog

YouTube via ladorade84860. Moog Prodigy. I'm guessing that's a Novation V-Station keyboard in the beginning. Note the purpose of posting these videos is to get a sense of the sound character of the synth however large or small that may be. It's never about the performance, although sometimes they can be entertaining. ;) Squint those ears!

genoQs Machines: Oktoberfest - Launching OS v1.60

via the genoQs newsletter:

"Dear all,
many months of hard work were needed to bring you the latest and greatest OS to your machines.. And now, here it is: we proudly present OS v1.60 for Octopus and Nemo!

The new OS is a significant leap forward and it includes numerous new features, and workflow improvements. Too many to list here really, but all minutiously captured in the latest release notes document. Our main page links to all that information and more: www.genoqs.net

Remarkable about OS v1.60 are the significant contributions provided by our users, which include those in a "source code" way! Without those, the machines simply would not be, what they are now. Or, as soon as you update yours..

Happy Oktober everyone!
Marcel and Gabriel
