IDOW & MATRIXSYNTH Modular Pic of the Week - Week 14 Contest Winner!

"Our fourteenth winner of the Modular Pic of the Week contest goes to Andre Theelen for his 'Light Painting Buchlaesque.'

Andre Theelen released 1 audio cassette and 2 CDs of electronic music between 1992 and 1996 under the name of Syndrone (together with Harold Teunissen). Three years ago he picked up music again and started building modular synthesizers to be used in new music.

For more info, please check out Andre's website: http://www.ecalpemos.nl

We'd like to give a big thanks and congratulations to Andre Theelen for his submission! This is the 14th week of a 30-week contest, and we are looking forward to many more modular photo submissions, so please keep 'em coming! For details on how to submit and what you can win, see this post.

For more info on the upcoming 'I Dream of Wires' documentary, be sure to see the trailer and IndieGoGo fund raising campaign here.

See the IDOW label for all posts pertaining to the film including the weekly contest winners."

Mantle Sound Core (live)

"Composed of tour footage from Mantle Sound Core's MG3998 West Coast Winter Tour 2011.

No post-production color filters used in the video. All footage was shot during the concerts and any visual effects, colors, lighting, seen in the music video here came from multiple live multimedia projections of A/V feeds from equipment including an NES system (Contra shown), "Holy Desert" an original feature film by Mantle Sound Core, and live camera feeds projected during the show. All of the gear was also run thru and manipulated with an LZX Visionary modular video synthesizer, and in addition to being projected was--when working correctly--broadcast to old boomboxes with built-in TVs which we set up around the venues. A traveling art-installation you might say. Enjoy.

Mantle Sound Core is a solo electronica earth ambient noise act based out of San Francisco, CA. MSC shows involve analog drum machines+synthesizers and a multitude of vintage cassette blasters playing homemade tape collages, creating live soundtrack compositions to live video manipulations. The shows center around a screening of the feature length movie Holy Desert, a film produced and directed by MSC, shot in Death Valley in February 2011."

Also check out live visuals with the LZX Visionary that MSC did for a friend's band.
