A chaotic theme

YouTube via attorks
"The sequences in this theme seems to be fairly random but there is some structure. The Synthesizers.com Modular is driven by an 8 step sequence on row 1 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer. The Self-Built Modular is driven by a 6 step sequence on row 2. Row 3 controls the timing of all 3 rows. Adding some delay on both Modulars adds to the random feeling of the sequences. I couldn't leave it without a melody so I added one at the end using the Mellotron flute voices on the Roland XP-80."

"'Robotica' -- 2008, performance at LEMUR after my residency in May 2008 to write music for their music robots. (http://lemurbots.org)
I controlled the GuitarBot and various percussion bots using a Wii controller, my voice, and my custom Max patches w/ algorithms, Morse code and a polyrhythms. Text was created by an online 'poetry robot'.
dedicated to Al-Jazari, 13th century builder of automata."


via Joe: "The guy who spearheaded the robotic instruments project LEMUR (league
of electronic musical urban robots) is named Eric Singer and I saw some of the first instruments he was working on at his space in brooklyn, and I think they all responded to normal midi. Really cool stuff."

Modular synth - Real drums

YouTube via stensgata44
"All sounds programmed on a modular synth (Modcan, MOTM, .Com) no other instruments used. I have tried to make the sounds as authentic as possible. 7 osc, 6 filters, 5 ADSR and amp + + used in most sounds.

The most difficult sound to make is the cymbal, i used 7 osc`s in three different layers (bandpass filtered) for the impact and short/long decay. The difficult thing is the tuning of the oscillators; it takes small tweeks to get it to sound like anything else than a cymbal. But hey, even Roland gave up and sampled cymbals for their 909 :-)"

::vtol:: Volfram Demos

"Volфram is semi-modular noise synthesizer and fx-proccesor based on digital 8-bit echo chip Ht-8970.

It can be used as flexible delay/reverb processor, fuzz and complex noise generator. All these fx-capabilitys can be mixed and controlled with much flexibility."
