Multum in Parvo by Todd Barton & Upcoming Performances

via Todd Barton: "My new solo Buchla Easel album is now available for streaming with the opportunity to pre-order the CD or cassette. I'm stoked about the awesome cover art by Ursula Barton! Check it out here.

Saturday, September 8 at 7:30 pm at the DanceSpace in Ashland I'll be performing freely improvised electronic music with Bruce Bayard and improvised vocals by Kay Hilton. Bruce's video of abstract figures filmed at SF MOMA is not to be missed. Tickets and more information here: http://brucebayard.com/event/tone-blur/

Friday, September 14 from 7:30-10:30 pm at the Butler Bandshell in Lithia Park Silent Movement presents The Silent Discovery Series with Control Voltage Therapy: Todd Barton & Bruce Bayard improvising on Buchla Music Easels with visuals by Michael Maag. You've got to see/hear this!! Opening live looping by Landen Griffith. $5 donation - all ages.

The audio portion will be broadcast with the technical wizardry of Jordan Rose and Landen Griffith (organizers of The Silent Disco) sending separate and mixed channels of our musical improvisations to special wifi headsets (available at the Park), with video mapping on the bandshell by Michael Maag, resident lighting designer at OSF. You will be able to hear Todd in one channel, Bruce in another, and a mix of both in the third channel, with the ability to switch to any mode at any time and wander around and move! A truly unique concert experience.

Stay tuned for my next Notes from Todd with more album release dates and October tour dates in NYC, Krakow and London! All best wishes, Todd"

Fun with the Crumar DS2 Analog synthesizer, moving pad LFO Filter melody

Published on Aug 24, 2018 Expanding Sound

"The Crumar DS2 is a one of a kind instrument. I'm not sure they even made 1000 of these. My serial number is 200. Anyway, It's weird and I love it. I was having fun with this Pad that had a moving filter LFO, and figured I would share my noodling."

"My first shot at writing and arranging a complete track using just the modular, a sequencer and a mixer. This is recorded live with all audio from the modular recorded straight off the desk. Enjoy!

"Here's my first attempt at live sequencing with the ZOOM ARQ and the Peak. I'm quite impressed with the ARQ, it can do a lot of useful things. Maybe I'll post a review next week."

Looking for a Fix

Published on Aug 21, 2018 Audio Illustrator

"Audio Illustrator James Newman and the James Newman Groove orchestra are pleased to present "Looking for a Fix"

This is a musical portrait of the concept that nothing really works right. and ultimately everything is broken and needs to be fixed.

Everything around us is in a state of decay and on a course of destruction and ruin. The day that we are born is the day that we begin to age and eventually decay, decline, and die. All that we grasp and hold on to also slips away in decay. Nothing is immune, but everything is looking for a fix.

Romans 8:20For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

Tentacles Lab 0013 Wela's Dreams (Film Version) Synthstrom Deluge

Published on Aug 23, 2018 Tentacles

"Last winter in a rainy night, our friend José Wela filmed this images that inspired us to make this new theme.
Lab0013 is made entirely with the Synthstrom Deluge. All the synths, samples, and FX are from the Deluge itself.

Mastered with Logic 9.
Filmed with a GoPro.

This is our musical laboratory, a place to cook new compositions, where we experiment with our music toys. Some of them will end in our albums, some not. Time will tell...

Rare PPG 1002 Up for Sale

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

The last post featuring one for sale was back in 2008.

"PPG 1002 extremely rare vintage analog synth + cv / gate + audio in (serviced)

Up for sale is an (1) extremely rare PPG 1002 synthesizer, build around 1976. Approx. 20-25 units are been made and probably not more than 10 are still alive, so it's a unique chance to buy one. The first owner was PPG employee Lutz Vogelsang, we can prove that. He sold it to a friend and we are the third owner. Lutz installed a useful external audio input mod with a low/high gain switch on the front panel. You can overdrive the filter beautifully now and when you connect the 'output II' into the ext. audio input you can create an additional resonance to the sound.

We serviced the synth and installed a v-trig / osc / filter input to control it with another device like a sequencer. The sawtooth oscillators, snappy filter and weird modulation possibilities makes this a monstersynth. It sounds amazing!!

Cosmetically the synth is in near mint condition with only some minor signs of use. Please check all the detail photos for a good overall impression.

The service report is part of the sale. It is a 220v version with European plug installed. There is no serial number on the synth."
