Rain - Live Jam with Yamaha Montage and DSI/Oberheim OB6, Akai Tom Cat

Published on Oct 23, 2016 Earmonkey Music

"It's raining! That may not be a big deal to you, but here in Southern California, it's a miracle. Anyway, the rain put me in a moody good mood so I just wanted to play something exuberant. Yamaha Montage does most of the work here. Using the FC7 pedal to control the SuperKnob and get some nice dynamics. It accompanied with a little lead and a sequence from the OB6. the Tom Cat makes a brief appearance as well."

Synth was recorded direct with no further processing except for normalisation."

Moog Sub 37- Rhythmic and Percussive Looping

Published on Oct 23, 2016 iVardensphere

"The Moog Sub 37 is a wonderful synthesizer that is capable of doing many of the classic Moog sounds but is also capable of going into very different sonic territory. This video explores the use of tempo sync'ed looping envelopes and LFO's to create rich, modulation based, rhythmic material without the use of the sequencer or incoming midi data. You can hear the Sub 37 in many of the tracks on my most recent release- iVardensphere: Fable

The video is made in conjunction with Long and McQuade Music Instruments. If you're in Canada and want to check out a Sub 37, be sure to head down to a L&M near you."

I've been listening to loads of Murcof, Loscil and Muslimgauze lately and I hope you can see my inspiration. Please please please if you know any dark ambient artists write them in the comments below. I'm really enjoying this kind of music recently. Hopefully I will be writing a few more like this in the future!

Please leave any feedback in the comments, I'm interested to know what people think of this style.
Happy Listening :)"

Dogs V4 by zvonx

"I'm helping a guy on reddit with his cover of Pink Floyd's Dogs.

Here's the solo @ 10 min in the original I recorded for him. My first recording on my model d reissue I picked up used last week (holy crap is this thing fantastic!)

I'm no rick wright and still learning how to perform on the minimoog but this sure was fun!

On the original it sounds like he is switching between LFO pitch modulation and FM Modulation. I couldn't really figure out how to do that without a third hand. On the 10th take I was finally successful working it in quickly in one part.

This is a much bigger solo than the original but it was hard not to leave her wide open and let her shine.

Noisy Spaces III

"Wide timbral space noise improvisation on a DSI Evolver with way too much Eventide Space shimmer reverb recorded live in one take through a Tapco Mix100 distortion unit into the audio input of a towable.

This is essentially a demo of the Eventide Space reverb using the shimmer algorithm with mix=100 and lots of feedback. Eventide Space is the primary sound source in this track though signs of the original sound source are a lot more audible than with the blackhole inverse gravity settings."
