Sherman 2x2 Filterbank - Analog Filter and Distortion Unit

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

via this auction

"Two identical Sherman Filterbank 2 devices in a flat 19" housing that can also simply lie on the table. All inputs and outputs are located on the front panel, which makes countless connections between the two devices easy, but above all with other tabletop devices. Via 'link' sockets, the two filters can be linked and played in parallel. Like the simple rack version, both LFOs also have a waveform output.

Technically and visually great condition - only near the logo there is a subtle scratch."

05 23 22 Synton Fenix - Testing further

video upload by batchas

"I’m still testing the Fenix 2d, this time focusing on longer delays, The delay of Fenix 2 is also involved in this patch.
Injecting some minimal negative voltage to the delay time CV input to get longer delays. Then sending the delay into a filter to remove the way too high high-pitched noise present in the slow delay signal.
I use the Wave Multiplier as a clock divider to variate the rhythm.
The Triangle output on VCO2 is actually a sinewave, not a triangle. I use it here for the Bass Drum sound.
No external effects used.

I’m recording each session with the Fenix, that’s why I’m sharing here, for everyone interested in hearing the sound of this synth. So it's not a composition or something elaborated. I’m also recording for the first time via a new audio interface so it's a good occasion for me to see how it translates once on youtube.
I will anyway make more videos showing more precisely how the delay sounds. As well as some tricks with a few functions on the modular."

A Special Birthday Message from Bob's Wife, Ileana Grams-Moog via Moog Music

via Moog Music

"We have the privilege to share a personal message from Bob's wife, Ileana Grams-Moog, composed for the occasion with you all in mind. We hope it brings you a smile today:

It is always a pleasure to talk or write about Bob, as it gives me the chance to revive happy memories I may not have focused on for a while. Joy, humor, and fun are especially appealing, because they were such wonderful features of Bob's character.

Bob's vitality and engagement with whatever he was doing stood out when you met him. His smile lit up his face; and his voice, very resonant and mellow, lit up as well when you asked him how he was, and he responded, "Great!" That engagement and enthusiasm was contagious, so that sharing an experience like a dinner, a show, or a trip with him made it so much more enjoyable for me. And it persisted into any conversation you had with him, as he was fully focused on you. If you said anything funny, you got to hear his wonderful hearty laugh as he enjoyed what you said and often responded in kind.

Bob loved humor. He was a lifelong reader of the New Yorker (his hometown magazine, one could say, though he came from Queens), and the cartoons were his favorite feature. On the weekend, what he most loved to do indoors was to lie down on the sofa with the latest issue, and read it from cover to cover. I could tell when he got to a cartoon that tickled him by the whole-body guffaw he would suddenly give, and I would always go over and see it so I could share it with him.

Other than Roz Chast, who is still active, I think, most of the cartoonists he loved are no longer around, and their names may be unfamiliar unless you are a fan of old cartoons. He enjoyed quirky drawing, like George Price's or Koren's, and the gentle goofiness of Koren and Barsotti, among others, though he could respond to more pointed and sarcastic wit as well. In general, though, a certain wry incongruity or insightful depiction of human oddness was most likely to touch off his delighted response. A cartoon that stands out for me was one of his favorites: A man is mowing the lawn on a mini-tractor. His wife is watching. The man's thought bubble shows him seated on a monster earth-mover; his wife's shows him as a little boy on a toy tractor. His delight in this cartoon clearly included his awareness of how he felt riding his own farm tractor when we went out to his old house. This self-awareness and gentle self-mockery was part of his character.

He was certainly a delighted responder to the humor of others—in drawing, writing, or conversation. But he was also a great teller of anecdotes, especially funny ones, and I think everyone who heard him enjoyed it. He was a very acute observer, with insight into how behavior revealed personality and motivation, and he had the rare gift of being able to apply these skills both to painful situations and to himself. So a number of his anecdotes were about situations that might not have seemed funny at the time at all, especially to him. He told me about a very difficult time in his life, when his company had been bought by an investor who insisted that he go on the road to sell shares in the company he was now a subsidiary of. He must have loathed the assignment, but he did it to the very best of his ability. He noticed that his prospects—picked out for him in advance—were men who prized power and prestige, polar opposites to him.

So, when he was sent to Chicago in the winter, although his taste in clothing ran to comfortable work pants and a work shirt, he bought himself a suede coat with a full fur lining to put over his business suit and tie. His reception, wearing this coat, was dramatically different—it was clear that he was impressing his prospects. The punchline, as he told this story to me, came as he was trying to persuade a prospect of something that wasn't going over well. So he stood up, loomed over the man, and opened his coat to show the full fur lining, at which point the man visibly shrank back and conceded the point Bob saw the resemblance to a dominance contest between animals, and it struck him as funny as well as a sad commentary about how much decision-making is done.

My retelling lacks the life-giving vividness, enthusiasm, and laughter of Bob's telling, but I hope gets across a tiny bit of the extra-ordinary person I was privileged to be married to.

The Sound of a Black Hole, Slowed w/ Reverb | Sound Recipes #32

video upload by Reverb

"What does a black hole sound like? NASA recently released the audio of the black hole at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster. We slowed it down and added a ton of ambience for a haunting effect that sounds like the start of an alien invasion."

NASA's video follows. Read the description for what you are hearing.

Data Sonification: Black Hole at the Center of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster (X-ray)

video upload by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center

"Since 2003, the black hole at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster has been associated with sound. This is because astronomers discovered that pressure waves sent out by the black hole caused ripples in the cluster's hot gas that could be translated into a note — one that humans cannot hear some 57 octaves below middle C. Now a new sonification brings more notes to this black hole sound machine. This new sonification — that is, the translation of astronomical data into sound — is being released for NASA's Black Hole Week this year.

In some ways, this sonification is unlike any other done before (1, 2, 3, 4) because it revisits the actual sound waves discovered in data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. The popular misconception that there is no sound in space originates with the fact that most of space is essentially a vacuum, providing no medium for sound waves to propagate through. A galaxy cluster, on the other hand, has copious amounts of gas that envelop the hundreds or even thousands of galaxies within it, providing a medium for the sound waves to travel.

In this new sonification of Perseus, the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time. The sound waves were extracted in radial directions, that is, outwards from the center. The signals were then resynthesized into the range of human hearing by scaling them upward by 57 and 58 octaves above their true pitch. Another way to put this is that they are being heard 144 quadrillion and 288 quadrillion times higher than their original frequency. (A quadrillion is 1,000,000,000,000,000.) The radar-like scan around the image allows you to hear waves emitted in different directions. In the visual image of these data, blue and purple both show X-ray data captured by Chandra.

"The last piece of music with this system.

The play was actually intended for the Modular World Event, but changed my mind. Here is the last piece with a system that has accompanied me almost unchanged for the past 5 years.
Time has a change."
