Drums Against The Machine
Atomic Shadow has set up a self playing S/H patch on the EMW-200 and ran the result through the STG Sea Devil and Krisp1 ring mod. All of the raw sound is coming from the EMW-200, the Krisp1 mini LFO was controlling the filter. Part of the signal made it through the Strymon El Capistan echo pedal. The improvised drums were then performed live with the patch on the V-Drums. The film was then finished by Micky Dodds who also made the film for February-Moon Of Ice from the Twelve Full Moons album.
Experimental – Dirty Carter Hardwire Mod
This is a hardwire mod of the Dirty Carter Experimental Sound Generating Instrument, a post card sized hand held touch controlled instrument, designed by John Richards (Dirty Electronics) and Chris Carter ( Throbbing Gristle, Carter Tutti). It was originally produced for a special performance by Carter and the 25 strong Dirty Electronics Ensemble in 2010. Chris’ artwork is etched into the PCB and forms part of the circuit.
The instrument is mounted on a custom built wooden case with aluminium face plate covered with black leatherette.
On this mod all the touch points are wired up to pots, with rotary switches to select clock range and feedback input, giving more precise control and predictability. The mix tilt switch is disabled and rerouted to a toggle switch. The original speaker is removed and a ¼ audio out socket added. Also added is a low pass filter with resonance and cutoff controls and LFO for modulation and CV in. At full resonance the filter self oscillates.
The original instrument and additional circuitry are powered from a 9v PP3 battery.

Prettybrute – bleepy space sound coming your way
Nice space music synth clip featuring the MiniBrute from its more mellow side of things;
“First trip out for a new arrival. Lots of things on YouTube show how aggressive the MiniBrute can be. It can also be very, very pretty if you ask it nicely. Tenori-on sequencing Tinysizer and providing a simple beat for processing via the Monotron.
Normal service will be resumed shortly once I get rid of the Dusseldorf vibe that’s been bothering me recently.”

Bending and cranking the OP-1
A simple little demo with the Teenage Engineering OP-1 and it’s new accessories the Bender and the Crank. There are a lot of things one can do with the Bender and the Crank, and the couple of things here aren’t even the most interesting.
The Bender is acting as an “LFO” on the parameters of the Digital synth of the OP-1. The Crank is operating the Endless Sequencer, like a music box.

An introduction to EM through the eyes of a progger
A progger’s journey into electronic music
“For many years I have been active in progressive rock. But in the background I have always been fond of synthesizer music. Lately I found I was getting more interested in this genre, so I figured it was a good moment to add some EM to Live prog, to offer more diversity in music.
This special is my introduction to EM as experienced by a prog rock fan. It includes some short reviews of a few of my favourite EM albums, a lot of music and a nice video clip. It’s a bit of a long special, but I do hope you like it. There will be more EM on Live Prog soon!”
