Cool stuff from Holotronica
Here’s a glimpse of my realtime composition using quartz composer. The track was created with an Arp Odyssey monophonic analogue synthesizer on the first day of owning it. All the sounds come from the Odyssey.

Gesture based DJ:ing
The Master Hands is a DJ system that uses sensors to track hand and finger motions and translates the movements into sound. You can program your own sounds and songs to specific hand movements.

A breakdown of the basic presets that will come standard on the MasterHands product. As stated in the video, the MasterHands will be fully customizable; this is just a demonstration of what will already come programmed in the software.
Experimenting with a voltage control joystick
Modular synthesizer that is being controlled by a voltage control joystick. Top half is the beginnings of my Ems VCS3/Synthi clone. Bottom rack is a Doepfer A-100 system. Beauty case houses the joy stick and exp. mixer/output.
Micronal synth session on a hexagonal control keyboard
This set of videos, via Carlos Serafini, capture a laid-back micronal synth jam on a hexagonal control keyboard, Autumnal Modulations.
I perform the “lead guitar” part of a portion of my tune while listening to the pre-recorded “bass” and drums parts and reading my transnotated score.
Read my blog for more explanations: http://www.seraph.it/blog_files/15eb9…
This song is based on the techniques presented with my recent articles: C central note layout version 2 and Transnotating Carlos Gamma.
This song is both the first one I compose employing extensive modulations (with Carlos Gamma tuning system) and the first one completely transnotated.
Transnotation allows me to analyze my own compositions. To demonstrate that, I have recorded 2 short movies where I perform the “lead guitar” part of portions of the original tune while listening to the pre-recorded “bass” and drums parts and reading my transnotated score (see below for more explanations).
This guitar sound by Spectrasonics Omnisphere has already been featured on many songs of mine. I love it!

Experimenting with homemade gadgets
James Rutter has shared this experimental video creating nice noise in their labs
I teach an electronics music course at the AS220 labs. This video captures the day we experimented with different homemade musical gadgets, making sweet beautiful noise.
Spatial realisation of aleatoric or randomly generated music
Sonus (One)” is a spatial realisation of aleatoric or randomly generated music. Although not all of the music is left to chance, the player can intervene albeit in a seemingly haphazard manner. Use the blocks either to block the flow of the balls or to trap them removing them from play.
The software is in part inspired by the work and teachings of John Cage, with “Sonus (One)” adding the dimension of space to the music of chance. Not only letting “sounds be themselves” but giving them room to do so.
“Sonus (One)” is part of the “Otherwise Autonomous” collection of digital instruments designed and programmed by Pixelh8.
Purely experimental
Some really nice tweaking going on by Chris Carter and it is nice to hear the BC8 in action
This is a brief tribute I made to the experimental work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop who recently staged a performance in London, that I couldn’t attend. All the sounds and loops originate from the BC8 synth, the Gakken SX-150 synth and the BugBrand Weevil synths. All the effects and processing is done with the Boss pedals. Oh yeah… and I did the whole thing ‘upside down’.
