"The Metaphase Sound Machine is a kind of homage to the ideas of the American physicist Nick Herbert who in the 1970s has created both Metaphase Typewriter and Quantum Metaphone (a speech synthesizer). These were some of the first attempts to put the phenomenon of quantum entanglement in practice and one of the first steps towards the creation of a quantum computer. The experimental devices, however, had not confirmed theoretical research, and Herbert’s obsession with metaphysics resulted in the publication of several of his works on the metaphysical in quantum physics, that have led to a serious loss of interest to the ideas of quantum communication. One day, in a course of his experiments, Herbert has hacked into an university computer trying to establish a contact with the spirit of illusionist Harry Houdini at the day of the centenary of his birth.

In his device Herbert in order to achieve a quantum entangled state used as a source radioactive thallium, which was controlled by the Geiger radiation counter. The time interval between pulses was chosen as conversion code. Several psychics had participated in the experiments. They tried to influence the endless stream of random anagrams arising from a typewriter or cause "the ghost voice" to be heard out of metaphone. Scientists also have conducted sessions to bring about the "spirit" of a colleague who had recently died, and who knew about this typewriter. In 1985 Herbert wrote a book about metaphysical in physics. In general, his invention and articles quite severely compromised the ideas of quantum communication in the eyes of potential researchers and by the end of the XX century no any substantial progress in this direction was observed.

The Metaphase Sound Machine is an object with 6 rotating disks. Each of the discs is equipped with acoustic sound source (a speaker) and a microphone. Each of the microphones is connected via computer and the rotary axis to the speakers on the disks. Also in the center of installation a Geiger-Mueller counter is set, that detects ionizing radiation in the surrounding area. The intervals between these particles influence rotation velocity of each of the disks. Essentially the object is an audio- and kinetic installation in which a sound is synthesized based on feedbacks, produced by microphones and speakers on rotating discs. Feedback whistles are used as triggers for more complex sound synthesis. Additional harmonic signal processing, as well as the volatility of the dynamic system, lead to the endless variations of sound. The form of the object refers to the generally accepted symbolic notation of quantum entanglement as a biphoton - crossing discs of the orbits.

White ARP Odyssey 2800 SN 282312

Note the serial number is 282312 on the back of this one. This black & gold MK1 has an SN of 282321. It would be interesting to know what SNs the switch occurred around. Also note that both are the MK1 2800 series. ARP eventually used two four digit sections for their serial numbers, the first four were the model number and the second was the unit ID number. I'm curious when this went into effect. Just some interesting bits of synth trivia.

Doepfer LC3 Systems to go: Workshop by Thomas K. (from Schneidersladen)

Doepfer LC3 Systems to go: Workshop by Thomas K. (from Schneidersladen) from Andreas Schneider on Vimeo.

"Introducing three different affordable eurorack modular systems here we show some first possibiltiies to get sounds out of the System ONE "Starter" (goto min. 0:39), a second System TWO "Pro" (goto min. 5:55) and the System THREE "Drone" (goto min. 14:25) especially made for such sounds. Mixing the different ideas together Doepfer now offers a new basic system starter 1 (A-100BSS1) in different cases as a mixup of System one and two mostly. Still at any time you can put together your own combination depending on your individual ideas and need."

This video demonstrates processing synthesizers, drum machines, and other instruments through the Holderness FX apps using an iPhone and the Apogee Jam interface.

No post processing was used in this video, what you hear is the direct signal from the instruments plugged into the Apogee Jam, processed only by the Holderness FX apps, and recorded directly out of the headphone output of the iPhone into the Apogee ONE v2 interface connected to an iPad Air 2 which also captured the video."
