Click here for the next installment of my interview with Barry Schrader. This one covers his Lost Atlantis composed in 1977 on a large Buchla 200 system featuring the 204 Quad Spatial Director, and the Fortune modules featured earlier in the interview.
Today is Clara Rockmore's birthday. Via wikipedia:
"Born as Clara Reisenberg in Vilnius, Vilna Governorate (now Lithuania), Rockmore was a child prodigy on the violin and entered the Saint Petersburg Conservatory at the age of five. She remains to this day the youngest student ever to be admitted to the institution. She studied violin under the virtuoso Leopold Auer. Unfortunately, bone problems due to childhood malnutrition forced her to abandon violin performance past her teen years. That, however, led her to discover the newborn electronic instrument the theremin, and become perhaps its most renowned player."
"New with Audulus 3.1: The melody and rhythm of this self-generated music patch is a product of the interrelationship of the DS and DGS modules. The DS modules are determining the pitches and modulating parameters while the DGS modules are triggering the envelopes. The DGS module is also feeding back into the DS module. The tempo and feel is largely a product of the way the DS and DGS modules are driven - in this case by 3 different self-modulating LFOs.
"In this tutorial video I show how to create the intro sequence from Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody. Its a bit tricky to recreate this on the Mother 32 due to its limitations but I think I got it close enough.

"Moog Mother 32, Epoch Modular Benjolin & Twin Peak Filter do the Blippoo dance. An XAOC Batumi keeps it interesting and/or annoying? Enjoy the noise.... its a long one."
"This is the BBC World News America aircheck from February 19, 2016.
I spoke with Morton Subotnick about his music at the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center in Washington DC where he performed "From Silver Apples of the Moon to A Sky of Cloudless Sulphur: VII" with the Berlin Visual Artist Lillevan.
"The Easel's Mod Osc can only be Balanced Modulated from an outside source (Eurorack in this case) which means its Complex Osc can't then be modulated -- so . . . using another osc from the Eurorack I can directly FM the Complex Osc giving more timbral complexity to both Easel oscillators.
