Neokitsch Showreel

YouTube via NeoKitschMusic
"This is a brief showreel of the activity going on at the NeoKitsch studio. It includes a few words from Danny Hahn, the director and composer for NeoKitsch, and there are clips of commercial, TV, animation, film and art visuals accompanied by original sound design, voice-over work, composition and foley work by NeoKitsch. The interview with Danny shows a brief example of the instruments used in the studio. Some of them include: Folktek synths - "Micro Garden", "Folkchord" etc, Roland MC-808, Haken Continuum Fingerboard, Omnichord OM 300, Korg MS-2000B, Moog Etherwave Theremin etc."

NeoKitsch - Haken Continuum and Violin

"Another improvisation by Danny Hahn and David Way at the NeoKitsch studio."

NeoKitsch - Edward Lear Nonsense with Haken Continuum, Monomachine and Viola Improvisation

"This is the first attempt at playing with the Haken Continuum Fingerboard in the NeoKitsch studio. David Way is playing the Viola and Danny Hahn is on the Continuum. Both Danny and David share an exciting conversation between violin, viola and unusual instruments, and they produce a large amount of music together for film, TV and for classical, Jazz and experimental music enthusiasts. Please visit the NeoKitsch website/blog for more interesting music, film, reviews, instruments and events at: www.neokitsch.com"

Buchla 256e as Clock Multiplier

"Buchla 256e is used to multiply the frequency of a clock signal."

Neural Pattern Generator Pt. 1

YouTube via wonkythomas

"Cos I'm too lazy to program sequencers, I mean come on pushing buttons & working out what "sounds good" is hard work, I figured an easier way to do it is to let some binary equations do the decision making for me, that way if the result is crap I can blame the machines... right?

Anyway. The 4089 is a 4 bit digital rate multipler that provides an output pulse rate that is the clock-input-pulse rate multiplied by 1/16 times the binary input.... Its an old chip that isn't as easy to get as many of other 4000 friends, mostly because these days I think sane people use PICs to "perform arithmetic operations"

I'm sure a tiny amount of code could do what I'm doing in this vid, but, I only use computers to look at pictures of other peoples synths ;-P

The module in the middle is the Pattern Gnerator, the four switches set the binary input number & it has a clock & clear input. The other two modules are the Clock Divider (D)Mux on the right & the Varilogic II on the left."

Neural Pattern Generator Pt. 2


"Same basic set-up, but now the Pattern Generator is getting a Clear pulse from the 512 division of the main clock. A little bit of Long Division always helps.

I don't alter any of the logic or clock settings this time, just the sound generators & modifiers.

After I've built the "Odd" version of the mux I'm going to do another pattern generator but with logic inputs instead of switches :-D

As usual, sorry about the damned bird noises!!! I swear I don't even notice them at the time, the mic in this cam. appears to be optimized for 'sunnyday chirping' frequencies!"

Yet another symphonic theme

YouTube via attorks
"The theme of this video somewhat resembles the theme I uploaded on 16 October of this year.
The first 2 rows of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer drive 2 voices with two six step sequences. The first voice you hear is from the Synthesizers.com which 2 VCO's are somewhat overdriven before they are processed by the Q150 VCF. The second voice is from the self built Modular with a bell-like sound. The brass-like bass and chords are done on the Waldorf Q Keyboard. The Mellotron strings are played on the Roland XP-80. The solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1. I noticed the solo could be somewhat louder; sorry for that."

Kegel - Aria Rotta

"A somewhat stripped down piece using only my Machinedrum and my dearly departed Arp Axxe. A rather primitive bit of software was allowed to determine both the visuals, audio mix, and length of this video. Pun intended... yes and no."

BLIP II - One Mean Little Theresynth™

YouTube via chamberofsounds. Theresynth on Ebay
"BLIP has been resurrected! This time he's in color and with improved circuitry and hardware (sweet output jack & mylar speaker), making him much louder unamplified and with extended range particularly on the low-end. In the video he's going through flanger & delay and sounds great through a wide array of effects. I won't be making too many BLIPs, so get yours only @ chamberofsounds.com"
