Element – new synthesizer instrument plug-in for Window and Mac
Waves has announced the release of Element, a synthesizer instrument plug-in for Window and Mac.
Introducing Element: The first ever synthesizer from Waves. Powered by Virtual Voltage™ technology, Element is an analog-style polyphonic instrument engineered to deliver the fat, gritty sound of the classics, with all the precision, flexibility and control of contemporary digital synths.
Element includes a vast array of convenient features and functions. Like integrated effects. A 16-step arpeggiator / sequencer. MIDI Learn for all controls. And a massive preset library, with total tweakability. Plus, all parameters are laid out right there in front of you, so when inspiration strikes, there’s no need to scroll through page after page to customize your sounds. Searing leads, booming basses, ethereal pads, electro-percussion, sequential motions, mind-blowing FX and lots more: Element does it all.
Element for Windows and Mac is available to purchase for the introductory price of $99 USD (regular $200 USD).
Exploring a sample based generative music app – Caelestis
http://apps4idevices.com/read/caelestis
Caelestis is a sample based generative music app that creates unique and very interesting results. It uses bouncing balls that generate notes as they bounce off the walls of the three different shaped rooms. The sound balls can be initiated at any velocity, and the shaped rooms can be rotated at different speeds to create interesting combinations. Each sample can be pitched by semitone increments, and assigned to one of three octave ranges. It is a free app with a $0.99 in-app purchase for importing and exporting samples and recordings. I should note that all file management is accessed through the Audio Copy section, and for referencing tempo, you need to run a drum app in the background. But I have to say that I find this app to be very impressive, with a great range of features, and it’s very easy to use. The unique layers of sounds and rhythms really make Caelestis … A Killer App!

Diego Stocco: Full talk from Wired 2012
Diego Stocco
Second to talk was musician Diego Stocco who turns the world around him into musical instruments. He opened his talk by asking the audience to imagine the waves in the ocean and how the shapes the water makes can be turned into “living frequencies” that can be used to create music. He also demonstrated Bassoforte, an instrument made out of a bass guitar and a piano.
Thinks took a turn for the weird when he showed how to make music from the different sounds of a tree. “So I tuned a tree…” he said, which he did through a series of interactions such as knocking on the bark and shaking the branches.” Other projects include making tunes from kitchen items and a dry cleaner. He concluded: “I want to live in a future with more music that will surprise me.”

A couple of fresh electronic music video releases
“Deep End” is a solid piece of musical dark chocolate: bitter and brooding” – http://www.muzikdizcovery.com/
“Fusing dance and rock in a manner often only employed by knob-twirlers like Justice or Deadmau5, Future Relative manages to emulate much of what those contemporaries do best while perfecting a sound readymade for today’s burgeoning festival culture.” – Speak Into My Goodeye
“Deep End is a tastefully dark track with multiple genre bending elements ranging from rock, electronic, and new wave. Just how we like it. Think Nine Inch Nails spiked with a hit of 808 State and a dash of Orbital. ” – http://rawthentix.com/
“Brooklyn’s Future Relative are one act you can mark as ‘keep an eye on’ in 2013. If their new track ‘Deep End’ is anything to go by, they’re going to be offering us some of the greatest electronic/pop jams of the year. Borderline industrial and 100% ready for the floor” – It’s My Kind Of Scene
“Deep End is a brooding, synthy electro track, with wispy vocals and a punchy dance backbeat.” – Baeble Music

Polymoog And Seeburg Select A Rhythm
Just in case you did not know; Seeburg was an American design and manufacturing company of automated musical equipment, such as orchestrions, jukeboxes, and vending equipment. Automated musical equipment, such as coin-operated phonographs and orchestrions, were manufactured under the JP Seeburg and Company name for most of its early years. Until 1956, the company was family-owned. The company was founded by Justus Sjöberg from Gothenburg, Sweden. He moved to the US after graduating from Chalmers and used an Americanized spelling of his name for the company. In the late 1940s, Seeburg manufactured its popular and distinctive “trashcan-shaped” series of jukeboxes
