"A brief tour of Phase I of my latest and greatest steampunk project. After Phase II is completed, I will make another video. In short, lots of video updates to come! I will also do a new video of each module I get."

Little Phatty + Ableton Corpus = Pseudo-Talking Bass


YouTube Uploaded by n3bsvid on Mar 1, 2012

"Little Phatty running through Corpus effect. I randomly play around with Corpus settings.

The Little Phatty "patch" is unchanged throughout. It's simple on "Calibration" with the filter wide open and just a single saw oscillator enabled.

Towards the end of the video I get close to a "talking bass" kind of patch (hence the "pseudo".

Hardware:
Moog Little Phatty Stage 2

Software:
Ableton Corpus"

Expert Sleepers ES-4/DrumDokta


YouTube Uploaded by expertsleepers on Mar 1, 2012

"Demo of an Expert Sleepers ES-4 S/PDIF / CV Interface and an ES-4 Gate Expander controlling a DrumDokta module by dinsync.info.

Six outputs of the Gate Expander are connected to the DrumDokta's five drum trigger inputs and its accent input. Two CV outputs of the ES-4 are connected to the DrumDokta's 'BPF1 CV' and 'Snap CV' inputs to modulate the cymbal filter and the snare snappiness respectively.

The DrumDokta is being fed through a Metasonix R-51 tube distortion, and an Analogue Systems RS-440 analogue delay. The 7th output from the Gate Expander is being used to gate the delay, providing a slap-back on certain drum hits in the sequence.

Phase Distortion Synthesis: Libration Dub

"This is one out of a collection of synthesizer tracks that I’ve been sitting on for a long time. Apart from the percussion, Libration (not to be confused with liberation) Dub was made entirely with the Casio CZ-1000 synthesizer."

Introducing Hollow Sun Records - Esoteric Electronica

For those not familiar with Hollow Sun, they are known for bringing a number of incredibly rare instruments into our sonic palette that we would otherwise not have access to. They brought us the Hammond Novachord, vintage valve/tube oscillators and noise generators from the 40s and 50s, and a number of conventional but rare synthesizers, string machines, and more. See the Hollow Sun website for the full list.

They are now launching Hollow Sun Records which will showcase experimental electronic music.

"Hollow Sun Records brings esoteric electronica from a broad range of experimental sonic artists from across the world on modestly priced, high quality downloadable albums you can buy directly.

Hollow Sun Records offers considered, abstract soundscapes and thoughtful sonic tapestries brought to you by leaders in their field of modern (and some retro), offbeat electronica.

We pride ourselves on the slightly odd and weird and tend towards the unconventional. Many strange noises are to be heard reverberating around the crumbling, musty corridors and labs here at Hollow Sun Towers so it seems only logical to release the work of friends who are exploring new (and sometimes revisiting some old) sonic territories for others to enjoy."


The current line-up includes ATOMIC SHADOW, who's vintage oscillators and noise machines have been featured in some of Hollow Sun's instruments, BOB TAVIS, and MATTHIAS SCHUSTER. Bios follow.




"Atomic Shadow is at the forefront of modern abstract electronica using as he does true retro equipment from the 50s and 60s ... test oscillators, reel-to-reel tape machines for feeding in tape loops or tape delays, etc.. His music invokes influences from the likes of Tod Dockstader, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and others.

Atomic Shadow's electronica is moody and dark, sometimes challenging, sometimes whimsical, always intriguing."











"Bob Tavis started with experimental music in the late 60s when all he had was a test oscillator, two tape recorders, a Hammond and Farfisa Duo organ, a spring reverb and a tape echo.

Bob studied under electronic music pioneer, Vladimir Ussachevsky, in the 60s and has also worked with Boris Kovalev on developing two software synths, psyBox and Ambitron."










"Matthias Schuster's prolific output is forever fascinating with the various projects he and his Thereminist wife, Trautonia, are involved with. From Das Institut to Geisterfahrer, his unique brand of music always challenges.

But Matthias dates back a bit and is as adept at 'Berliner Krautrock' with sweeping Mellotrons backed by his PPG modulars and all the other crusty old analogue gear he has as he is at more angular experimental material."
