Plant Music #8 – (MIDI Sprout + Piano + Organ)

Published on Feb 14, 2017 Smokey Quartz

"In this plant music experiment we get romantic with some cheeseweed (mallow) among the tall green grass. The MIDI Sprout helps the cheeseweed to serenade Ashley as she attempts to dominate it with a red rose. Can you feel the plant love?"

Clickbate by ngarjuna

Published on Jan 16, 2017 ngarjuna

"ngarjuna returns with new songs, new sounds and fresh inspiration. 'Clickbate' continues to push the envelope in combining traditional-ish east coast lines with his fresh, musical take on west coast synthesis. Infused with topical, wry political sarcasm the narrative displays a sincere love for the twisted and the absurd. Available Valentine's Day, 2017 iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, YouTube [above], Bandcamp and wherever else new music is sold."

Slight NSFW warning: the album art features elephants in looooove. ;)

TECLA TÓNICA | documentário

Published on Jan 24, 2017 Eduardo Morais

Video description follows. You'll find a Googlish translation below.

"TECLA TÓNICA - documentário sobre a alquimia da electrónica na música em Portugal //
KEY TONIC - documentary about the alchemy of electronics in portuguese music

A música electrónica tem o dobro da idade do Rock’n’Roll, e em Portugal, antes da sua emancipação comercial, vários foram os intervenientes que pintavam a contemporaneidade tentando estender o seu léxico musical com a modernização existente.

“Tecla Tónica” explora a alquimia da electrónica na música em Portugal e dos seus reprodutores, desenhando a própria génese de uma maquina como o sintetizador. Documentando a cronologia da evolução tecnológica do género, presente desde as primeiras peças de electroacústica da década de 60 até ao panorama actual, este documentário viaja pela pop electrónica da década de 80, pela emersão do sampling, culminando na liberdade da pista de dança.
Realizado e produzido por Eduardo Morais (“Meio Metro de Pedra”/ “Música em Pó” / “Uivo”), este documentário surge de uma sinergia entre o próprio e a Jameson Irish Whiskey, levada a cabo durante o ano de 2015, sobre este género tão fresco como quando por cá surgiu."

"TONICA KEY - documentary on the alchemy of electronics in music in Portugal //
KEY TONIC - documentary about the alchemy of electronics in portuguese music

Electronic music is twice the age of Rock'n'Roll, and in Portugal, before its commercial emancipation, several were the actors who painted contemporaneity trying to extend its musical lexicon with the existing modernization.

"Tecla Tónica" explores the alchemy of electronic music in Portugal and its reproducers, drawing the very genesis of a machine like the synthesizer. Documenting the chronology of the technological evolution of the genre, present from the first pieces of electroacoustics of the 60's to the current panorama, this documentary travels through the electronic pop of the 80's, through the emersion of sampling, culminating in the freedom of the dance floor.
Directed and produced by Eduardo Morais, this documentary comes from a synergy between himself and the Jameson Irish Whiskey, carried out during the This genre as fresh as when it came up here."
