Xoxbox ARP 2600 -

"Sorry, recording is bad quality as it is directly taken into the external computer pickup...
Arp 2600 controlled by XOXBOX, Xoxbox is great, have a CV and gate out so you can control any synth with Control Voltage IN, great for your modular as well... Analogue Systems provides a bit of envellop...."

Some light synth talk from TheSynthFreq. Comparisons between the Yamaha DX1 and CZ-5000, followed by Roland D-50. See TheSynthFreq link above for some of her performances previously posted here.

"Here is a short video on the synths that I use, the waveforms they have and a little about the harmonic content of each WF. I only discussed the very basics as to not bore everyone to tears. Lol

Please enjoy!
:) TSF and the synths!"

Roland D-50: TVF ( Filter: routings & LFO) Fc 60/res 30

TheSynthFreq | January 29, 2011 |

"A review of D-50's TVF and each of the 4 WFs in the LFO. (LFO 2) routed to TRI, SAW , SQU, and RND.
I have the Fc at 60 and the res at 30 for more dramatic effect so its easier to hear what the filter/LFO is doing.
Keep in mind that the recording is from an iPhone 3GS mic.
Please enjoy!!
:)"

JACKSON POLLOCK (Moogist Commentary)

"'When I am in a painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.'

While painting is not my medium, and I am not claiming to be Pollock in any way, studying him and his ideas has helped guide me through my creative process this week, and I wish to give him credit for sparking new ideas.

On a TECHNICAL level, I agree with Pollock when he says that when one loses contact with the "painting" the result becomes a mess.

On an EXPRESSIVE level, it does seem that the work has a life of its own, and it is through interacting with it that the final outcome becomes possible.

if one is "too" technical in his/her work, then it may not be expressive enough, and if one is too expressive, the vice versa may be true. Therefore it not really about "balancing" the technical and the expressive - i.e. 50/50, as this may often lead to mediocrity on both fronts...

Instead, it is better that one's technique be informed by his/her expressiveness, thereby having these elements not only running parallel to each other, but are one and the same toward the same goal, on the same path, as a rider and his horse are one and rushing to the same destination.

I am striving for this, and it is clear that Pollock knew this well, as he states:

"It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement." -JP
