Moog: Archetype Of A Synthesizer – The Haxan Cloak // NIN

October 8, 2015 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Moog: Archetype Of A Synthesizer – The Haxan Cloak // NIN 

Recently, Moog had the honor of sitting down with Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, the genre-defining music innovator, master synthesist and Academy Award winning composer. In the interview, Reznor recounts his intimate relationship with the Minimoog Voyager, which he feels “is the archetype of what a synthesizer is and should be.” Through personal stories, Reznor reveals his decades long history with the instrument and how it has shaped the way he views and creates music.

The video is set to an original score by British electronic music producer, The Haxan Cloak, co-producer of Bjork’s Vulnicura.. Befitting the occasion, the artist used a Minimoog Voyager and a prototype Mother-32, Moog’s newest synthesizer, to create the score.

“I made the track in a unique way that I never have before.

I have had modular synths for a long time, and consistently produced music with them, but purposefully never had a ‘keyboard-based’ setup because of not wanting to treat them in such a ‘traditional’ manner (purely for reasons of self-limitation).

Having the Voyager allowed me to utilize a more responsive approach of seeing the picture and essentially ‘playing’ along to it. I then took those results and used them to modulate other parameters and processed them further. The Mother 32 was used extensively as a sound source alongside also.

The Voyager is a synth I have always been fascinated by, but unfortunately never had the opportunity to own. I knew people that had them, but my first physical encounter was actually on the recent Bjork tour. I used it for a lot for recreating basslines from her back catalogue, which it did effortlessly.
It’s such an incredibly versatile synth and has already become a uniquely indispensable backbone of my studio.” – The Haxan Cloak

Coil’s original ‘Backward’ album – partially recorded in the Nothing studios of Trent Reznor (NiN) – released as double vinyl and CD

After the release of 1990’s “Love’s Secret Domain” album, Coil also started working on “Backwards” in 1992. The recordings were updated considerably between 1993 and 1995, and transferred in 1996 to New Orleans, where it was finished in the Nothing Studios of Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). The album obviously saw the results of Jhonn Balance’s recent vocal coaching. 23 years after its initiation, these tracks finally have been preserved by Danny Hyde and made available.

Important to know, these recordings differ substantially from the later, remixed incarnation, “The New Backwards” (2008). What is being released now under the “Backwards” flag are the original versions which have appeared on various compilations over the years, and are now presented as originally intended.

The 12 tracks are available as a CD digipak and as a 2LP gatefold sleeve.

Nine Inch Nails signs to Columbia and the new album is completed

May 29, 2013 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Nine Inch Nails signs to Columbia and the new album is completed 

october13032010

In a press release, Trent Reznor has announced that Nine Inch Nails have signed to Columbia just like his other project, How to Destroy Angels. Reznor has been working on a new Nine Inch Nails album together with Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder. The announcement arrives three months after band mastermind Trent Reznor officially reformed his most high-profile project for an extended tour that will kick off this summer. Reznor said last year that he had been writing new NIN songs, in spite of a dormancy that began after the group performed its final show together in Sept. 2009.

Since then, Reznor worked with Atticus Ross on the original scores for 2010’s “The Social Network” and 2011’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” the former of which earned him a Golden Globe and Academy Award. He also released an album with a side project, How To Destroy Angels, last March.

The album is now finished. As it seems the recordings were the ‘real impetus and motivation’ behind the decision to assemble a new band and tour again.

Says Reznor:

“My forays into film, HTDA and other projects really stimulated me creatively and I decided to focus that energy on taking Nine Inch Nails to a new place. Here we go!”

“I’ve been less than honest about what I’ve really been up to lately,” says Reznor.

“For the last year I’ve been secretly working non-stop with Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder on a new, full-length Nine Inch Nails record, which I am happy to say is finished and frankly fucking great.”

The new album will be out later this year. More news soon.
