New Menu Bar Up Top & an Update on Posts You Do Not Want to Miss

Hi everyone. You might notice the featured post thumbnail icons up top are gone. They have been replaced with a FEATURED link which will take you to the individual posts. I also added links for NEW GEAR, and POPULAR POSTS as they are just as relevant. NEW GEAR features product announcements, so you can keep on top of the latest news. POPULAR POSTS are what people are clicking on and sharing out there. There's a top 10 by week, month, and all time. Think of them as the mini "viral" posts on the site. You might be surprised some.

As for why I decided to remove the thumbnails, I go into a little detail this post for those interested. In short, maintenance, errors, and archiving factored in.

Note the USEFUL LINKS section on the top right of the site will remain as well.

The Kola Superdeep Borehole (СГ-3) is a scientific drilling project of the Soviet Union on the Kola Peninsula, inside the Arctic Circle. The project attempted to drill as deep as possible into the Earth's crust. The drilling began on 24 May 1970. СГ-3 reached 12,262 meters [7.62 miles/40229.66 feet] in 1989 and it is the deepest artificial point on Earth. In 1990 drilling was stoped.

In 2008 СГ-3 was abandoned. The Borehole was conserved. Station is placed in a very hard to reach area on Far North and it is slowly collapsing.

For a long time project was top secret, due to which fact there appeared many legends about it. Level of difficulties and technologies that this project involved is comparable with sending the man into space. Amount of data and samples that were obtained during experiments is so huge, that it will be studied for many more decades.]

In 2016 I found in one of abandoned laboratories of the station a roll of punched tapes for computers, that were used on the station to record scientific data. This tape has inspired me to create a sound installation dedicated to СГ-3.

This installation is an automatic sound object that drills stone samples sourced from different depths and uses data from punched tape as the program for controlling the motors.]

In July 2018 I went to visit the station СГ-3, to resume the drilling process after 28 years of downtime.

Gestrument Pro for iOS Now Available

Gestrument Pro - Release Day Trailer Published on Sep 25, 2018

Gestrument Pro Tutorial

Published on Sep 25, 2018 Tim Webb

"Gestrument Pro is a new gesture-based instrument and sequencer for iOS! I was asked to do the official tutorial. Gestrument Pro can be a fun way to explore new song ideas without getting bogged down in music theory. I help you jump in by explaining some of the key features.

Gestrument Pro was developed by award-winning composer Jesper Nordin and Jonatan Liljedahl (AUM, AudioShare, AUFX), and is available now on iTunes: https://goo.gl/FDMbK9"

Description for the top video above:

"Today's the day! We've finally released Gestrument Pro into the wild!
Everything in this video was performed live using the Gestrument Pro factory presets.

Gestrument Pro:
Play, improvise and compose in real-time within a framework of interactive generative musical systems.

Award-winning composer Jesper Nordin and leading iOS developer Jonatan Liljedahl (Kymatica) has completely re-invented their unique app from 2012 and taken the concept to the next level.

Gestrument Pro takes everything we loved about Gestrument and improves on its original functionality while introducing a host of new features such as multi-touch, recordable automations, advanced scale editing and our unique system of highly tweakable modular generators that define the pitches and rhythms.

With Gestrument Pro you can Play, Improvise and Compose music with deeper levels of personal expression than ever before.

Features:

• Up to 16 individual Instruments.
• Each Instrument can be controlled by any of up to 8 Cursors.
• Instruments can use internal high quality sounds or play other synthesizers or apps via MIDI.
• Modular swappable Generators for producing the rhythms and pitches per Instrument, each with their own set of tweakable parameters and settings.
• 8 performance sliders that each can control one or more parameters in the Instruments and their Generators.
• A highly flexible modulation system allows assigning Sliders and Cursor position/pressure to any parameter in the Instruments.
• Advanced microtonal Scale editor with several standard scales included.
• 8 Scale Slots for fast switching between scales and tonalities during performance.
• Sliders, Cursors and Scale Slots can be recorded into automated loops, or controlled via MIDI.
• Supports Inter-App Audio and Audiobus, including host sync for following the hosts transport and tempo."

Matrixharp Prototype MAX/MSP Hardware Controller Interface

matrixharp prototype demo (2015) from Asha Tamirisa on Vimeo.

"short demo of audiovisual controller prototype"

https://ashatamirisa.net/matrixharp

"MATRIXHARP is a prototype controller that rethinks modular interfaces. The interface utilizes stretch sensors to modulate parameters and capacitive sensors to make patch connections. Through this interface, patching and moving through the spectra of parameters becomes a tactile and embodied action, one less concerned with metrics. Patch connections are felt throughout the system through the physical tension of the stretch sensors being pulled and pushed. This interface also evades the 'male' and 'female' language of standard modular patching."
