Hikikomori ひきこもり (Reface DX,Volca Sample,Monotribe,MPX-16)

Published on Apr 17, 2016 Metatron's Cube

"Hikikomori (ひきこもり or 引き籠もり Hikikomori, literally "pulling inward, being confined", i.e., "acute social withdrawal") is a Japanese term to refer to the phenomenon of reclusive adolescents or adults who withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement. The term hikikomori refers to both the sociological phenomenon in general and the people belonging to this societal group. Hikikomori have been described as recluses, loners, or "modern-day hermits."
I think I leave the house too much to qualify(although google images turn up some eerily similar looking rooms)...Ha. The samples are from some weird clip before a documentary on YouTube that had been taken off an old VHS TV recording. It was a preacher going off on heroine/meth/crack from the point of view of the drugs or the addiction itself. Unfortunately his rhyme was then cut short by the start of the actual documentary(or there would have been more). We'll try for less dark subject matter in the next one, but there is a big backlog of sad documentary’s on the sampling block. Have a bite of the weird side of YouTube today, and enjoy your coming weeks. Musically "withdraw" with us. Thanks for watching and listening!

Pricing and Availability of the Upcoming Polivoks Clone by Alex Pleninger

Just in via Alex Pleninger.

"The very first run is ready and the price is defined at $2000. After that the price is going to rise up to $2400."

Note this is a sponsored project and the decision for the price increase following the first run is not Alex's. Introductory price discounts are not all uncommon. The official website with ordering details will follow soon. Until then, enjoy the pics and of course be sure to see the Alex Pleninger label at the bottom of this post for video demos.

Update: Some additional info and new pics below in via Alex:

"All units are and will be hand crafted and made. There're no surface mount components inside, all pcbs use trough-hole design which allows to achieve really vintage flavour in sound and behaviour. Almost 85% of components are rare soviet new old stock. Pots and switches are faceplate-mounted thus very reliable and durable.

The following features were added to the original:

LFO frequency mod, routable from MIDI/CV or Filter EG

LFO additional waveforms (two saws and sine)

RING MOD (beautifully sounding XOR) in Mixer section

bipolar attenuators on LFO mod and Filter EG's depth

overall mod indexes are increased, especially in VCA section

PWM on second oscillator, attenuator and source selector (VCA EG or LFO)

EXT INput acts now as an additional positive feedback loop

thank you,
cheers,
Alex"
