Kahilis Agrometric Philosophie

YouTube via JeffreyPlaide
"An atmospheric analogue musical journey. Made entirely with the wonderful Alesis Andromeda analogue synthesizer, this piece is a warm and enveloping original music track set to multi-layered images of the Andromeda itself. The track morphs into darker counterpoint sequences with mystical voices sounding towards a distant conclusion. Very listenable and visually intriguing, this work celebrates the beauty of analogue synthesis."

Alesis Andromeda Tonal Synthesis

YouTube via JeffreyPlaide via I Have Synth
"This instructional video explores tonal synthesis using the amazing Alesis Andromeda analogue synthesizer. We can investigate tonal applications for sound synthesis and with some background theory, understand how to create organ and similar keyboard timbres. Analogue synthesis can create choral and organ-type timbres that can be layered to bring about very rich and dynamic undulating sounds. These sounds can form the basis of very expressive regal compositions that can lend themselves to a wide variety of musical applications.

Experiment with tonal synthesis."

Alesis Andromeda Atonal Synthesis


Helianthus Chorda Vario

"An ambient chordal organ improvisation using the Alesis Andromeda analogue synthesizer. Various organ improvised melody lines were created, and a musical track was built up using a selected looped passage with additional organ timbres overlaid presenting a very rich pseudo-melodic chordal feast. There is a very atmospheric "music box" like charm that develops from the polyrhythms played."

FPGA 8 Voice 2 Operator FM MIDI Polysynth

"Description:
8vFM-2x4 is an 8 voice two operator FM MIDI polysynth. Each voice is comprised of 4 FM sound generators which can be individually tuned, configured and modulated.

The main reason I wanted to do this project was for bells and chimes. I had heard that FM is good for them. I had tried doing them with a linear arithmetic synth design (GateManPoly/8), but bells and chimes were lackluster in that synth."

You can find more details and samples at the FPGA Synth Wiki.

"CLP is Chris de Luca and Phon.o. The sound they make is a funky hybrid of intergalactic hip hop, ghetto beats, sexy booty IDM and dirty techno that takes musical genres, chews them up and turns them into good-natured grooviness.

CLP is currently getting kudos on both sides of the Atlantic for their LP 'Supercontinental', released at the end of 2008 on Shitkatapult records.

In this movie, they open up their Live Sets and talk about making music with Live, effect chains, performance and triggering video with Live. The guys also share their thoughts on Live 8, which they've been Beta testing."

Yamaha CS01 S8VG sequencer

YouTube via nathanielscott
"Just a little vidie I made with my CS01 and my home made sequencer. The sequencer is not outputting any voltage but is acting in a passive resistance mode. The resistance for each step is determined by a 10k pot on the main panel of the sequencer. The sequencer is plugged directly into the breathe control of the CS01. The connection is made by an 1/8th inch TRS plug where the sleeve just goes to ground, the ring supplies the 5 volts from the CS01 and the tip returns the attenuated voltage back to the CS01."
