OB-6: Wagner: Elegy (WWV 93)

Published on Sep 13, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Wagner's beautiful, languid 'Elegy', here performed on the OB-6. Very reminiscent of "Tristan & Isolde", Wagner's harmonic masterpiece (Tristan is possibly the greatest development of harmony of the entirety of 19th century composition).

If playing this piece on piano, I'd change chords quicker. But on the OB-6, I'm simply enjoying the sound. The little bell-like sounds: these are the product of the ring modulation.

The piece is trickier to play on OB-6 than on piano, due to the limited voices of the OB-6. A good stretch is also required (i.e at c.1:00 the LH is stretching a minor 10th, and at c.1:22 there's a minor 10th in the RH).

Getting very classical of late. Next video will be more typically 'synth' in style.

All best
Kris"

Moog Matriarch With Eurorack Drums, Extra Oscillator And Modulation

Published on Sep 13, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Moog's Matriarch synthesizer sounds great on its own with its four oscillators and stereo filter and delay, but it also has a ton of CV and gate inputs and outputs making it easy to expand with a eurorack modular system. In this video we added a eurorack wavetable oscillator to the Matriarch, synched a drum sequencer to the internal sequencer, and modulated the filter with a Maths.

The eurorack wavetable oscillator we used was an Industrial Music Electronics Piston Honda MK3. The Drums consisted of a Winter Modular Eloquencer sequencer and Endorphin.es BLCK_NOIR drum synthesizer. The Make Noise Maths was used for modulation.

No audio post-processing and just a bit of Line 6 Echo Pro to sweeten the space. A closer look coming soon, but enjoy this for now. Learn more at experimental synth.com"
