In Benge’s studio – krell meme 2
Benge let’s know:
So following on from this post, I was digging around on Muffs and saw that the meme had evolved again. Slipperysoles had posted another self-generating Buchla patch, this time based on an idea from Douglas Leedy in 1970. Leedy made an album called Entropical Paradise which explored automata in music, which is documented in the indispensable book Electronic Music by Allen Strange. See the scan I made of the flow chart of Leedy’s original patch. I decided to try and recreate the this on my 200e system, which is itself a evolution of the Buchla 100 Leedy used. There are lots of differences in the modules and functions I had to contend with but I got somewhere close, and as always with the Buchla found something unique along the way
Building The Krell Muzak Patch
Here’s a patch cord by patch cord demonstration of setting up the Krell Muzak 1 patch from scratch on a Buchla 200e with the following modules: 261e, 266e, 281e, 292e, and 291e. A photo of the original patch, audio and video can be accessed here: m.matrixsynth.com/2012/08/krell-muzak-by-todd-barton-on-buchla.html
mad sonic science ii
Monday morning modular treat from Todd Barton, enjoy!
“another exploration of coaxing various timbres, rhythms, tones and articulations out of a Buchla 200e with the 222e touchplate controller in real time. an audio of this exploration is available here: soundcloud.com/user7621213/mad-sonic-science-ii“
Buchla – Three Layers to Ponder
Buchla one take improv using 3x patch layers.
The 112 Touch Controlled Voltage Source is being used to both transpose the 5-note mini sequence, as well as the delay feedback amount. So you’ll notice differnt levels of synced delay feedback as I play different keys – many of which are tuned to unison pitches . . . and not in perfect tune – this allows for creepy, slight doppler shift note repeats.
