Published on Apr 15, 2013 RADIOKLOW·77 videos

The Access Virus acts as a controller in this performance. The first sounds you hear are actually the Roland V-Synth XT. Later it controls the Snow. The Little Phatty controls the Blofeld.

'Concert with poetic reading given at Saint Bonaventure of Lyon, during the festival "Artistic Adventures at the Cordeliers' the 10th of march 2013.

With Marie-Ange Sebasti : poems and Marc-Henri Arfeux : synthesizers (Virus TI, Roland V-Synth XT, Virus Snow Blofeld, Little Phatty).

Many thanks to Michel Morlot.

This concert lasted one hour, but since we had small technical problems with the filming, I decided to select 45mn of the whole show, divided into five moments, from the beginning to the end."

Marc-Henri dedicates the performance to the people of Boston and the inocent victims.

Update: Video of the performance added above.

Pics of via Marc-Henri's (aka RADIOKLOW) setup and performance at Saint Bonaventure in Lyon. The performance was yesterday, April 10. Four of the pics were taken in the afternoon before the performance. The second to last is a still from a video of the performance which will be available at a later date. You can see an Access Virus TI & Snow, Moog Little Phatty, Roland V-Synth XT Rack and Waldorf Blofeld. I asked Marc-Henri if I could post the images as you do not see this every day. The video of the performance will follow when ready. Until then, see the RADIOKLOW and Marc-Henri links above for previous posts featuring Marc-Henri's work. He is a true explorer of sound and his compositions with the Access Virus Ti are reminiscent of what others do with expansive modular systems.

Buchla Opens First-Ever European Distribution & Service Center

"April 10, 2013, Musikmesse, Frankfurt, Germany: Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments (BEMI) is pleased to announce the appointment of Alex4 Distribution GmbH as exclusive European distributor for all BEMI products, including the 200e-series modular synthesizer system and the new Music Easel Electronic Music Box. Effective immediately, all European Buchla fans and customers can turn to Alex4 for everything from full systems to individual modules and parts, as well as for outstanding repair service.

Attendees of this week's Musikmesse Frankfurt show are invited to visit Alex4 on Stand C51 in Hall 5.1 to check out samples from the current BEMI product lineup, including the Skylab 10-panel modular synthesizer, a custom-configured 18-panel 200e system, and the reissue of the revered Music Easel, a portable, performance-oriented instrument with a break-through price point that has put the synth on everyone's "must-have" list.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to have Alex4 stocking and selling all of our products," noted Lewis Chiodo, a BEMI managing partner and the company's director of international sales. "Alex4 and their sister company Schneidersladen have long been the go-to companies for innovative, high-end electronic music products, and we're extremely pleased to now have Buchla instruments so expertly represented in Europe."

Alex4 will also be responsible for providing repair service throughout the continent---a real bonus for Buchla users who, until now, needed to ship modules back to the U.S. for servicing.
