Ambient modular synth, self-running drone: "Shipyard" by POB

Published on Aug 7, 2016
Update: Fist posted at 2:38. Re-Published as "Shipyard"

"'Shipyard' is a live modular synthesizer performance -- my first attempt at something that's dark, ambient, and lots of drone sounds.

I let the synth run by itself, only turning off/on voices throughout the piece.

The Intellijel Dixie II+ and Make Noise DPO run the show as far as oscillators, with reverb from the Erbe Verb and delay from 4ms Dual Looping Delay. Full list of modules below.

If you hear voices chanting "ha ha ha" in the middle, that is part of the reversed backmasking sample from Prince's 1984 album, Purple Rain. Near the end of the song, the music stops into the sound of rain and wind. There is singing, but played in reverse, but for this track I reversed it again. The vocals are Prince singing.

I used 40 patch cables for this patch.

Candle is awesome BTW. Whiskey and Tobacco from Northern Lights :)

-------------------------------

All sounds mixed out through Pittsburgh Modular's Outs, sent to Ableton Live for master file creation for YouTube, SoundCloud, and Instagram.

I recorded video with an iPhone 6+ then manually synced the video with the audio using iMovie.

All modules were inside a 12U Gemini 0104 case from Monorocket, a 6U case from Dark Modular, and Make Noise's 3U powered skiff.

Genshi Media Group Live Performance at Ford Food & Drink PDX - 08/06/2016

Published on Aug 7, 2016 Genshi Media Group

"::| Dedicated to Benjamin Dennis Myers: Nov. 26, 1985 - Jul. 31, 2016 |::

Captured with my new GoPro camera (with both camera audio as well as direct audio from my sub-mixer using the Zoom H4n) my live performance at Ford Food & Drink for Lifelike Family's monthly "Abstracted" event.

In the first half of the video I unfortunately was having pretty major technical issues with the tc electronic Ditto X4 looper pedal... the second loop channel wouldn't record, then it wouldn't playback unless I slightly moved the volume knob, then it wouldn't sync properly) so a lot of fumbling around at first.

Also, I didn't really get a chance to work this piece out, as we had a soul crushing tragedy in our family this previous week... completely drained us.

The first half was improvised live looping with the Korg Minilogue into a Strymon El Capistan, then into the Ditto X4 which then went to a Strymon blueSky. The second half featured the Make Noise 0-Coast with additional Eurorack modules by Make Noise, Mutable Instruments, Intellijel Designs, Noise Engineering, Sputnik Modular and additional sequencing from the Arturia Beatstep Pro."

"You'll have a hard time finding an exceptionally clean 202 that is in such outstanding shape.
The bag has some very light scuffs, but looks excellent and the padding is in good shape.

Everything works perfectly - sliders / switches / pots are smooth and uniform in their feel, and it appears this 202 has seen very little use over the years."
