Atomic Shadow's DO3 for The Museum of Science Daphne Oram Remix Project

Listen at The Science Museum
(you can also vote for the track)

"Sonic sculpture for the Museum of Science remix content, assembled from the original Oram tracks with two additions. One used vintage sine wave generators and effects pedals, recorded in real time. The second took one of the stems and ran it through a tape echo pedal where the sound was 'played' by changing the feedback and other controls in real time. The other parts were reversed, slowed down, chopped up and pitched and arranged just as they did in the days of tape recorders and scissors. Despite the advantage of doing the editing with a computer it still took about two weeks to get the composition in order."

Atomic Shadow's sinewave generators have been featured in Hollow Sun's Music Laboratory Machines. You can find his other music at http://atomicshadow.bandcamp.com/

"Having composed his first major electro-acoustic work in 1965, 'The Return,' New Zealand composer Douglas Lilburn (1915-2001) set up New Zealand's first electronic music studio in Victoria University of Wellington where he held a teaching position as a senior lecturer in music. He subsequently went on to create a significant body of electro-acoustic music with predominant New Zealand themes."

Lorenzo Electronic LFO Mod

Lorenzo Plus by Ununseptium Labs

Demo with Eurorack modular via this post.

"A split cable is coming from the mini mighty Lorenzo and into the VCO F and ADSR Gate on a Doepfer A-111-5. Then through the usual BP8."

via Ununseptium Warehouse where you'll find details including more shots of the inside. This is more an organ vs. a synth but has presets that go beyond typical organ sounds.

"The voices are fairly basic square wave derivatives: 'Flute' scopes out as a 'Fair Low Frequency Response' while 'String' comes in with a 'Poor Low Frequency Response'. Each can be used independently or together. A volume mixer would have been nice. Not a difficult mod, but where to put the knob?!"

Phaedra Sequencer for iPad

via Analog Industries, run by Chris Randall of Audio Damage.

"In my ludicrously ample free time, I've been working on this bad boy, Phaedra. It is an "analog" style four-channel MIDI sequencer for the iPad. Click the picture for the full-rez screenshot. In the interests of full disclosure, I borrowed heavily from the Moon Modular 568 Quad Sequential Trigger Source, which you can read all about up in here.

I still have a long way to go, but it is coming along nicely. Each step has note, velocity, gate time, and a pair of MIDI CCs of your choosing. I haven't yet coded in the chaining feature, but it'll be able to do 4 x 32, 2 x 64, and 1 x 128 modes. The steps can be 32nd note, 16th note, 8th trips, and 8th note, and each "bus" can run in arbitrary lengths. The "Live Control" knobs on the left can be used to modify one of the four destinations..."
