Crockett's Theme - ANA2 plugin short cover.

Published on Jun 25, 2018 BluffMunkey

"Was playing with some additional presets for an upcoming Synthwave expansion pack for Sonic Academy ANA2 and it struck me that I HAD to try and do some of the sounds from Crockett's Theme. The lead is particularly tricky because the original (I believe) used a sample from a Fairlight, but this is as close as I can get for now."

SPINE BREAKER// SP-555, Korg Prologue, TB-03, TR-8

"'In my experience, if you let a man break your nose, the next time he tries to breaks your spine'

sampled from FARGO season 1 into the Roland SP555."

Sequential Circuits Pro-One Sounds

Published on Jun 25, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Here are a few sounds from this vintage Sequential Circuits Pro-One synthesizer. The Pro-One was a two oscillator monophonic analog synth with some interesting modulation routing options on the panel and a built in sequencer. We used the Pro-One by itself and with a Moog MF-104M analog delay pedal, as well as with a Roland TR-08."

Wye Oak | It Was Not Natural | Moog Sound Lab

Published on Jun 25, 2018 Moog Music Inc

"Indie-rock duo Wye Oak step into the Moog Sound Lab to perform 'It Was Not Natural' from the album 'The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs'. Trading their acoustic instruments for analog synthesizers, Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack conduct an electronic ensemble for this re-imagining of 'It Was Not Natural' -- making special use of the new Moog Grandmother analog synthesizer."

Jack Reacts! Waldorf Quantum

Published on Jun 25, 2018 Andertons Keyboard Dept.

Some funny moments in this one.

"Jack goes through the first batch of presets on the Waldorf Quantum and, with the help of Chris and Joss, gives his reaction to what's available first hand."

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

AUTOMAT / Korg Electribe 2

Published on Jun 25, 2018 mishpult

"Taking the E2 for a spin through several fully automated patterns to create a short, 5 min set. The intention here is to restrain myself as much as possible from intervening with the machine and let it do its thing alone. Automation is the future, you know."

In collaboration with the Department of Nuclear Science & Engineering and the MIT Media Lab, ACT presents Resynthesizer, a performance, installation, and public tour series of MIT Media Lab Professor Joe Paradiso’s modular synthesizer, temporarily installed within MIT’s internationally known Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC). Resynthesizer will incorporate a month-long series of public tours of the synthesizer at PSFC intended to highlight a participatory dialogue between the varying departments—and the public—concerning transdisciplinary research efforts engaging one of the 21st century’s most pressing challenges: to produce the next clean, economically efficient, and sustainable energy.

The Paradiso Synthesizer, arguably the world’s largest homemade modular synthesizer, produces sounds which are 'programmed' manually by running wires between various outputs and inputs. Unlike today’s digital synthesizers, which normally hide their many capabilities behind menus or graphical interface screens that allow for changing only one parameter at a time, the modular synthesizer exposes all aspects of sound creation and modification simultaneously via the physical modules.

In Resynthesizer, the Paradiso Synthesizer will utilize final data gleaned from PSFC’s legendary fusion device, the Alcator C-Mod tokamak—one of only three domestic tokamaks housed within a US Department of Energy funded user-facility. In 2018, however, C-Mod lies dormant due to a completion of operations and termination of previously obtained government funding in 2016. Nevertheless, containing a wealth of data archived from more than 20 years of operations, C-Mod continues to exist on the MIT campus as the world’s only compact, high-magnetic field, diverted tokamak, allowing it to access unique experimental regimes and influence the direction of the world fusion energy program.

With this collaboration and contribution of PSFC data, the synthesizer’s modules will produce complex and varied sonic environments from the complicated “patch”—the set of connections—that Professor Paradiso creates. The patch determines both the sounds and how the sounds are controlled and triggered, ensuring that the sonic environment generated by the synthesizer will never be repeated. Made evident by Paradiso’s installation and performance, this experimental and artistic process of creation and modification is ultimately what connects both the history of fusion energy at PSFC and Professor Paradiso’s exploration of sound as a malleable product of digitized data."
