Day 136 / How To Patch: Tomita-Style Bells

Day 136 / How To Patch: Tomita-Style Bells from Charlie Visnic on Vimeo.

"This is a modular synth patch video that I did for my creative thing a day blog at: theb-roll.com

It's from a patch I wrote down in my composition book a long time ago. It's a pretty realistic bell sound but I patch it to sound similar to those falling bell sounds that you can hear on Isao Tomita's Debussy album.

Yes, I am a nerd.

I hope you like it."

More details here.

And I think it's time for some vintage Isao Tomita on Moog. BTW, I couldn't find any good examples of the bell patch although I know I've heard it before. If anyone knows of any good examples from Isao on YouTube let me know.

Sydney Fringe Festival and Under the Blue Moon Events

"You’ve never seen the Enmore Theatre like this – Sydney Fringe Festival Event

Electro aficionados & vintage synth geeks get a taste of the real thing, live without a laptop in sight.

Long time collectors of analogue equipment Steve Jones and Ryan Spinoglio have teamed up with Carolyn Shine to re-create some of electronic music’s classics under the moniker ‘Studio Serpentine’ on stage at the Enmore Theatre on September 11 2010.

Some of electronic music’s most innovative scores like Vangelis’ Blade Runner and Delia Derbyshire’s Dr Who theme will oscillate between electro-pop classics like Fade to Grey by Visage and Studio Serpentine’s own music.

Priceless pieces of analogue studio heaven will be assembled to showcase the trio’s beloved equipment and give the audience an opportunity to experience electronica history live.

Yamaha CS-80, Prophet 5s, Jupiter 8s, PPG Wave 2, Space echos, and practically the entire back catalogue of Roland drum machines, a vintage Korg Vocoder and the legendary MS-20 will be stacked up with a couple of ARP Odyssey MKIIs, a Space Modular and a Theremin among other things. If that all sounds like another language - it kinda is.

This is a rare opportunity to experience the evolving language of electronic music from its classic origins.

Steve Jones is a prominent recording engineer and keyboard programmer who has worked on many platinum award-winning albums in Australia. He has worked as a keyboard technician for touring artists Kylie Minogue, INXS and Burt Bacharach and is by all regards, a certified synth geek.

Ryan Spinoglio is a musician and avid vintage synth collector, bordering on compulsive. His tracks, under alias, have been released through Ear Pimp and Clan Analogue and you can find him at http://www.myspace.com/electrofetish

Carolyn Shine is a composer, keyboardist and performer. Her recently released single Monsoon Rain featuring Chris Ball that was featured on ABC’s Australian Story is out now on iTunes.

The trio will perform as part of the annual Lunarmorph parade, a celebration of alternative creativity and fashion.

In partnership with the Sydney Fringe Festival the annual Under the Blue Moon Festival, Lunarmorph will be held at the iconic Enmore Theatre in Newtown on Saturday September 11.

Tickets are available through Ticketek and Enmore Theatre.
