ULVTHARM “Wrēkō” Album Teaser
video upload by ollilaboratories
"So, as some of you might or might not know I have several projects under my musical umbrella. This one is particularly important to me since it was incepted during a very dark period of my life.
As my moniker ulvtharm, I have never released a solo album.. all focus has always been on writing for mz.412. This one however took a lucky (or unlucky) turn into a musical piece that I now am ready to present to the world.
It might not be for everyone following me here on my channel, but please keep an open mind and dont run away.
Big thanks to Frederic at Cyclic Law, and to Axel for your art, my brothers in arms Nordvargr and Drakh for ritual support.
Also a shout out to Heikki Mastokangas for the epic footage in the album trailer shot in the darkest forests in Finland.
Yours truly, BURG a.k.a Ulvtharm

Release Date: October 31 2022
We’re honoured to present Ulvtharm’s first solo album. Long time collaborator of Nordvargr & Drakh in the legendary Swedish formation MZ.412, “Wrēkō” was incepted when Ulvtharm lived in Malaysia while remotely writing the “Svartmyrkr” album of MZ.412 in 2018. Since “Svartmyrkr” was written over such a long period of time and over a significant geographical distance, there were natural moments of inspiration that radiated away from the MZ.412 sound, moments captured during the ritual sessions. Listening back to some of the raw demos made at the time, it was obvious that some of the tracks did not line up with MZ.412 spiritually, and the idea for an Ulvtharm solo album was born.
Moving back to Sweden in November 2019, the creative process of dissecting and analyzing the demos started. When the pandemic hit, Jouni was thrown into a sleepless blackness for a long time, a mood that made him see the demos in a different light. This helped with re-composing and recording the missing parts, which were finalised in December 2020.
This album is a deep dive into the mind and psyche during a dark time; it's a revenge on the own self for not taking this creative step before, and a celebration of getting out at the tail end of the modern plague. He’s now letting the music and spirits free out into the world for everyone to see and hear. This is his darkness. This is his revenge. This is Wrēkō!

video upload by Syntaur
"Some three years in the making - thanks to COVID - the Synth Wizards custom-build a special Korg Polysix for a high-profile client, and get it delivered to Los Angeles. It's an opportunity to take a look at the leaking-battery problems that plagued some older synthesizers, and explore how to repair that damage."

"Another classic string machine: the Crumar Performer. This one is version B with the very nice SSM2044 filter. It has Brass and Strings sections with attack and sustain on the strings, 3 bands EQ (think bandpass filtering), resonant filter, LFO assignable to pitch or filter, transpose switch etc Also has dedicated outputs for Brass and dry string sound along the main output. And a Gate in. Unit was serviced and is perfectly working. Condition is good, with some wears of course. It's quite compact and lightweight compared to others (77x35x19cm 12kilos)"

"It has been checked by a synth technician and what's missing are the KAS and SH cards. Couple of knobs, and legs. The unit powers on.
The incredible news are that 16musiclab from France have created PCBs and sell the cards for a small amount if you have a local technician or can install them yourself."

Playing Live With The Dream Collection At Willem Twee
video upload by HAINBACH
"After my first visit at Willem Twee Studios in Den Bosch I knew I had to come back. And I did, this time for a live gig at the Toonzaal. Rikkert had the idea I had secretly hoped for - to involve the studio in the live show. So I setup a patch, to which Hans Kulk and Rikkert Book added beautiful tape processing and effects.

GEMINI 2412 User Guide Part 2: The Mix Bus (Dual Output, Audio, Frequency & CV control of filters)
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"Part 2 of 3. The AJH Synth Gemini 2412 Dual Multi-mode SEM-based VCF explained. The 3-part User Guide will cover this very complex and fully-featured, yet simple to use analogue filter. This part will explain the central mixing bus section of the filter, and how it can be used to control the audio and CV balance, and cutoff frequency of both VCF's simultaneously, and how the dual filter (parallel) and cascaded filter (in series) modes work. Part 1 concentrated on the individual filters and their functions: [posted here] Part 3 will cover using the both filters together with the mixing bus, and how this element enables both VCF's to function together as a single, huge filter, either in series or parallel, along with patch examples, including using the Gemini as a stereo filter.
