The Mojave Desert Modular Experiment: Zachary Paul

Published on Jul 1, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"In the Mojave Desert Modular Experiment, we worked with local artists to create modular systems suited to their own styles and workflows...despite the fact that none of them had ever used modular synths before. Each artist/group had two weeks to get to know their system and prepare a performance.

Zachary Paul was the first participant: an LA-based violinist whose work is based around evolving textures of looped and processed string sounds. He typically uses effects pedals, but put the modular synth to excellent work as an advanced effects processor.

Come by our showroom to try out these systems for yourself, and keep an eye out for more results from the experiment each Monday this month! Read more about Zachary's system and get links to his music here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/signal..."

I can't help noticing on playback that on the back of my wrist there is a smudge of the vegetable curry I made and scoffed prior to recording this. Rest assured it was delicious......"

Big Merp vs The Photo Theremin [Episode 154]

Published on Jul 1, 2019 CatSynth TV

"Our cat Marlon (aka 'Big Merp') is baffled by a photo theremin. As he tries to figure it out, all hell breaks loose.

A photo theremin is an electronic musical instrument in which a photocell resistor is used to control the pitch of the oscillator. This particular model also has an LFO that modifies the pitch of the main oscillator. It was purchased in eBay in the mid 2000s.

Too funny. Kitty looks "slightly annoyed" at the end. :)

From the Live Room 1: Roland SH2

Published on Jul 1, 2019 Alfonse

"I got together with drummer Ian Bostic a few weeks ago for some synth jamming... First up was the epic Roland SH2 monosynth from 1979. The tuning of VCO2 was drifting all over the place when we recorded the jam, but I guess it gives that authentic vintage analogue feel... (with apologies to anyone with perfect pitch). Two additional synth tracks were overdubbed after the initial jam session, with effects provided by vintage Boss Super Chorus CH-1 and Vestax DDX digital delay pedals. Some additional reverb was added to the synths at the mixing stage.

Novation Circuit Synthwave - Ambient Remix

Published on Jul 1, 2019 Flak Cannon

"This is an ambient remix of my Novation Circuit Synthwave track (see original here: [posted here]).

I did this version simply by lowering the tempo to 40 and adding lots of effects to the synths (Valhalla Shimmer / Delay etc).

The percussion track did not get completely removed, instead I used it very sparely. This was also the first time when I did a multi-track recording of a song by panning the synths and percussions into separate tracks."
