"Music and Geology or Geology, Electronic Music and Opera :: Wednesday February 4, 2009 :: 6:30 for 7:00pm :: London Knowledge Lab - Institute of Education :: 23 - 29 Emerald St, London WC1N 3QS, England :: Tube: Holborn, Russell Square or Chancery Lane :: Map:
The talk is about three enterprises of excellence that Zinovieff has been intimately involved in. He describes his making the first geological map of the Cuillins mountains in Skye (1958), the problems of his early computers (1960’s) in electronic music contrasted to some present day experiments (2008), and the preparation of his libretto for “The Mask of Orpheus” (1984) by Birtwistle.
He shows that these wildly different endeavours are not so dissimilar when it comes down to the nuts and bolts of their
actual creation.
The lecture of 40 minutes will be accompanied by archive videos, sounds and slides, as well as a display of rocks, pictures and electronic objects.
Peter Zinovieff is a pioneer of electronic and computer music. He is a British inventor of Russian ethnicity, most notable for his EMS company, which made the famous VCS3 synthesiser in the late ’60s. The synthesiser was used by many early progressive rock bands such as Pink Floyd and White Noise, Krautrock groups like Kraftwerk as well as more pop oriented artists, a good example being David Bowie.
Zinovieff also wrote the libretto for Harrison Birtwistle’s opera The Mask of Orpheus.

4 vids on triggering synths live with drumkits
via Stuff Linear/Amsterdam
"I have found some nice examples of the incorporation of synths and drumming.
In all the videos the drums trigger envelopes and/or drive the clock.
Mostly i notice people using the very versatile Nord Modulars for this kind of stuff.
This one is all analogue with Juno and Doepfer, by Analogueeak (he has several vids up, check m out)

YouTube via analogueak. [You might remember this one from this post.]
This one is starring Andre Duracell playing the BubbleBobble Theme. He allso has several vids up. I chose this one because you see a bit of gear.
He uses the Nord G2 Engine and a laptop.

ARP Sequencer 1611
via this auction
"Lots of features make it stand out against other analog sequencers. For example the random function is interesting, it is able to skip steps(!), there are 3 gate busses(!), it can run at audio speed for use as a wave shaper(!), run as 1x16 steps or 2x8 steps, etc."

Moog 1150 Ribbon Controller
via this auction
"Original Moog Ribbon Controller. This fits nicely on your Minimoog (same width, there is a youtube video where you can see it on the mini above the keyboard). As you can see on the instruction sheet there are 2 modes: Mini and Sonic Six. It can probably be used for other synths too. It is powered by the Moog accessory output on the synth. Outputs for Pitch, S-trig and Aux control."

Korg MS-03 Pitch to CV & Ring Modulator
via this auction
"One of the rarer Signal processing boxes from the Korg MS-range. If you have MS-20, MS-10, MS-50, SQ-10 etc. then this would fit nicely. It can also be used in other setups as it features both V?Hz as wel as V/Oct outputs! Hook up your guitar or flute and play your synth with it... This one has been modified and now also has an internal ring modulator with signal mixer on the front."
Syntecno TeeBee mk3 Tb-303 clone 4x CV converter
via this auction
"As said the best sounding tb-303 clone and it has some other uses too. 4 cv/gate outputs for controling your vintage analog synths. Both v/oct AND v/hz CV, positive AND negative gate etc. so you can control moog, arp, roland as well as yamaha, korg etc. synths at the same time! There is a nice ring modulator and you can use it as a filter bank and route external audio thru its filters... Some handy midi features too, 2 midi merge inputs and a Din-sync output for syncing other gear like tr-808, tr-606 etc."
