New Sponsor Shout Out! - Percussa

Please welcome Percussa, a sponsor of MATRIXSYNTH! You've likely noticed their banner on the right. Percussa created the AudioCubes, a modular gestural audiovisual instrument that consists of smart wireless objects, capable of sensing each other’s location and orientation, as well as measuring distance to each other and your hands and fingers.

The AudioCubes easily integrate with your existing MIDI and OSC compatible hardware and software and can be used for Live Performance, Music Composition, Sound Design and Interactive Installations.

The AudioCubes went through some big changes since Percussa originally introduced them in 2007. Each AudioCube has now its own 2.4GHz wireless radio module which runs a custom protocol, which allows them to form a star network with a data rate of 2MBit/s. The network supports up to 16 wireless objects and an update rate between 8 and 64ms.

Percussa recently updated MIDIBridge to v3.0, adding simultaneous detection and distance sensing up to a few feet and with 10 bit resolution, which is great for patching and simultaneous synthesizer parameter modulation!

The AudioCubes now come with a new design and more advanced materials.

The new version of AudioCubes is called wireless AudioCubes PRO.

Black Horses of the Sun by Dave Bessell

Skyrim Dave Bessell Published on Feb 7, 2015

"Track from the album 'Black Horses of the Sun' full album available here http://www.din.org.uk/din/node/495

Video and music by db"

MATRIXSYNTH Patreon supporter Dave Bessell has a new album out titled 'Black Horses of the Sun'. The release also features Ian Boddy. Limited to 500 copies, it is available on CD and digital download. The following is an excerpt on the release for the MATRIXSYNTH archives. You'll find the full track list and an additional demo at DiN (also linked above).

"Black Horses of the Sun is the latest release from Dave Bessell. This artist will be familiar as one of the founding members of analogue supergroup Node but has also in recent years released a number of fascinating solo recordings (including Morphogenic with Parallel Worlds DiN41).

These new tracks build on the distinctive detailed atmospheric style of previous releases and add a more melodic focus that gives the proceedings an extra layer of interest this time around. As with previous releases nothing is quite what it seems in the sonic worlds created here, melodies frequently take an unusual twist and the tracks can sometimes take off at an unexpected tangent. The tools are predominantly analogue hardware with a sprinkling of contributions from custom written software alongside treated guitar. The atmospheres range from mysterious to darkly foreboding with occasional more relaxed flashes of ambient sunlight. Overall there is often a widescreen cinematic sense of scale which would not be out of place in a film soundtrack. An eclectic variety of stylistic influences flicker through this music, from classical to industrial, Berlin school ambient to jazz, to the Eno, Fripp & Bowie collaborations of the Berlin years through to echoes of psytrance. All make their appearance from time to time.

On this release Dave Bessell is joined on a track each by Ian Boddy (well known mainstay of the UK analogue synth scene), Lyonel Bauchet (French TV and Film composer and all round Buchla wizard) and Liam Boyle (incredibly versatile soundtrack composer and Beatles fanatic). Each add their own distinctive contribution to the proceedings. Overall a varied and intriguing release which never falls into the predictable patterns of analogue electronica, combining masterful evocative sound design with intricate arrangements, this will repay repeated listenings and is not to be missed."
