Continuum Fingerboard and modular synth – eight improvisations

Tweet

Here’s what author has to say about it:

No Midi. The Haken’s internal sound “clinical oscillator 1” was routed to the Analogue Systems RS-35 External Processor and Doepfer A-119 to generate pitch cv, envelope and triggers.
Awesome how minimal changes in finger pressure brings about so much voltage control with the Wiard JAG distributing cv to different modules simultaneously. The Blacet Frequency Divider together with Malekko Wiard Noisering and Doepfer Wasp filter made for bass rumbling, f(h) SOS through spring reverb module provided noisy delay patterns, TipTop Z5000 was used for reverb and additional delay. Also: ADDAC Complex Random, Analogue Solutions CVT, MFB Triple Osc, Doepfer LPG, Hinton Switchmix, PlanB M13.

Introducing the KOMPALISATOR – triangular photon noise machine

Tweet

Bring to the light-driven sound generator the Kompalisten Bernhard Belej & Jodok Dietrich
Sounds of space and time on the earth!

This machine is probably unique in its kind and each case is unique. Thus the Kompalisten a Years collected Electronic modules, an old radio gets hollowed out, creating a user interface.
Everything sold together, and “zusammenverschraubt zusammenkompalisiert”. Done is the KOMPALISATOR for everyone!

Experimental sound installation – wine is included :-)

Background information on the sound installation:

Sun Boxes is a solar powered sound installation.  It’s comprised of twenty speakers operating independently, each powered by the sun via solar panels.  There is a different loop in each box programmed to play a different guitar note continuously.  These guitar notes make a Bb chord.  Because the loops are a different length, once the piece begins they continually overlap and the piece slowly evolves over time.

Sun Boxes creates space; it’s an environment to enter and exit at will.  The footprint this space occupies is similar to that of a city.  A metropolis.  It’s a burst of technology in the middle of nature.  Unlike most cities I’ve been to, it does not just take over the space.  Rather Sun Boxes interfaces with the environment and collaborates with nature.  It is the perfect combination of technology and and nature that create art, an environment and a metropolis.

For the past two years Documentary Filmmaker Kevin Belli has documented Sun Boxes in several locations through out New England.  He has traveled through the snow to a frozen pond in Plymouth, MA.  Woken up at 3AM to capture sunrise on Cadillac Mountain, in Acadia National Park,Maine.  And several parks and beaches in Massachusetts.  The end result will be a short documentary about the Sun Boxes and we’re planning a multi-screen installation that will show the  piece in different environments.

We’d like to continue this process on Martha’s Vineyard and showcase the diversity of the island’s landscape.  In 10 days Sun Boxes will be on a beach, in a field, near a lighthouse, in two galleries and on a working farm.  Martha’s Vineyard offers a tremendous opportunity.  All this will of course cost money.  With your generous donations I’m confident a $5000 budget will pay for a majority of the expenses.  To thank you I’d like to send you something unique from the trip.  We will be documenting Sun Boxes on Martha’s Vineyard and want to share it.  From $1 to $2500 whatever you can afford I will send you something from this trip.  Photographs, recordings, prints, books it will be great.

Our favorite free plug-ins in new updated versions – TAL-Vocoder and TAL-Filter

Played live on Korg EMX, Access Virus Snow, Micron MIDI’d to IPad running Sunrizer. Korg for drums, Virus for Bass and leads, IPad \ Sunrizer for Pads, FutureRetro for Acid.

Featured gear: The micron is an eight-voice analog-modeling synthesizer. Despite its small size, you’ll be impressed with the micron’s big sound. Whether you use a synth to accompany you on stage or in the studio, and whether you prefer to work with the hundreds of preset Alesis sounds or create your own, the micron is the perfect companion. The micron also contains a powerful sequencing section with phrase, step, and drum sequencing, an arpeggiator, and stereo effects. The micron has two multi-mode filters, three envelope generators, and two LFOs: the full spectrum of synthesis components for shaping and creating sonorities and textures. For stage and studio-ready quality, the microne has 24-bit audio outputs and inputs via balanced connections.

Each of the micron’s voices contains two filters, and each filter can be one of the following different types, each with its own character and sonic flavor: Bypass, Low Pass: ob 2-pole, tb 3-pole, mg 4-pole, rp 4-pole, jp 4-pole, al 8-pole; Band Pass: ob 2-pole, al 6-pole, octave dual, band limit; High Pass: ob 2-pole, op 4-pole; three Vocal Formants, four Comb Filters, Phase Warp, Frequency, Resonance, Key Tracking, Envelope Amount, Offset, and Absolute. Each of the micron’s voices contains two LFOs, each of which offers rate, depth, shape, and tempo sync; and three envelopes: Amp Envelope, Filter Envelope, and Pitch/Modulation Envelope.

Vocoder Athmospheres featuring KORG R3, OMnisphere, and Virus TI

“All sequences recorded by myself.
KORG R3, Omnisphere, Virus TI sounds used for this one”

Featured gear: Omnisphere is designed with a unique user interface containing progressive layers of ‘zooming’ to accommodate the complete range of users – from musicians who just want to be inspired by the sounds and customize them in an easy way, to expert synthesists and the most advanced sound designers. Users can go deeper and deeper into the software and progress in their synthesis knowledge by simply exploring additional levels of sound manipulation options. To make sure that all users get the most out of the new capabilities, Omnisphere includes an extensive set of video tutorials and synthesis lessons taught by the renown Spectrasonics sound design team.

Omnisphere offers a host of hybrid synthesis and new control capabilities including Variable Waveshaping DSP synthesis, Granular synthesis, Timbre Shifting, FM, polyphonic Ring Modulation, high-resolution streaming Sample Playback, Harmonia™, Dual Multimode Filter structure, Chaos Envelopes™, an advanced Unison mode, and the innovative Flex-Mod™ modulation routing system – to name a few.

The huge core library of Omnisphere is filled with years of creative sampling experiments and thousands of inspiring patches. Spectrasonics has pioneered several brand-new types of sampling for the core library of this instrument, including unique “Psychoacoustic” sounds and soundsources created with a new Composite Morphing Technique (CMT) – which morphs the harmonic characteristics of one instrument to another. As a bonus, a section of the core library is also devoted to representing the best of Spectrasonics award-winning sample libraries. When all of these organic core library soundsources are combined with the synthesis power of the STEAM engine, the sounds become “alive” in a truly dynamic and expressive way.

M-Audio® Venom: Multi-tracked

Tweet

A nearly six minute-long audio demo using the M-Audio Venom synthesizer as both a synth and an audio interface, with Pro Tools and Ableton Live.

The M-Audio Venom 49-key synthesizer combines the character of classic analog synths with modern digital processing to deliver an aggressive, infectious new sound. Whet your appetite with the included presets, then sink your teeth into creating original sounds—from atmospheric and subtle, to angry and downright nasty. Easily tweak parameters from the intuitive top-panel interface, or explore endless sound design and configuration possibilities with the included software editor. Perform bass lines, leads, and more with a full-size keyboard designed to satisfy serious players. You can even use Venom as an audio interface with Pro Tools* and other music software—forming a powerful production machine to take your music in dangerous new directions.
