Sugar and Salt

First usage of Schlappi Engineering Angle Grinder and Interstellar Radio

Orthogonal Devices ER-101/102 driven by MI Marbles, feeding Random Source New Timbral Oscillator and MN Mysteron

WMD Metron (internal clock; not master)

your very soul

Wherein I parse various assumptions about modern (i.e., not ‘pop’,) music, with, quite naturally, the most modern of instruments…a modular synthesizer of my own concoction.

Here is somthing i recorded earlier today, a segment from a longer recording made using a toy accordion, dry cow parsley stems and a bongo, manipulated and composed alongside field recordings collected over the past year from various locations across the UK.

Heres an image of the setup:

This is another meditation on togetherness and thought of somewhat like how a guitar works having strings that are all in a separate space but work together polyphonically and when in sync the strings vibrate and become almost intoned together while still keeping there own frequency.


Having fun with a big patch of audio video intertwines and the arbhar coming out as a sort of new age ie realtime computer graphics vibe.

Hello.

I upload the first video.

Modular system consisting of Percussa SSP, Teletype, Pamela’s NEW Workout

-> CV In [of CV Tools] / custom M4L patch / Ableton Live effects (filter, delay, reverb)

Thanks for watching.

And the second video. :slight_smile:

Anyone else finding the current global situation is directly feeding into the music they make? I started with something peaceful and ambient here, self-soothing, and you can basically feel my anxiety creep in.

Second track for this week (and for this year). Quarantine provides me extra hours for music making

patches and chains:

  1. many multitrack overlays, Five 12 Vector Sequencer
  2. percussion sounds:
    Klangbau Koln Twin Peak, Random Source Serge VCFQ, SSF Entity Percussion, Mutable Instruments Rings through Verbos ATC, OTO Bim / Bam, Axe-FX, Make Noise Mimeophon

XAOC Zadar for for pings, Marbles/Stages for random/lfos

  1. pads: MI Rings/Plaits through VSL 74 filter and SSF Stereo Dipole, MN Mimeophon, Strymon Magneto. Multilayers via OD ER-301

  2. guitar: Tele through Axe-Fx, then sampled though ER-301 and OTO Bam

  3. noises: Twin Peak to OTO Bam, then used in Manual Grains in ER-301

the biggest insight: how OTO Bam is good as a NOT set-and-forget device.
second one: some ‘envelopes’ on Zadar are great for pinging filters

Put together something yesterday whilst my daughter was napping. Ran some guitar through Norns MLR, then added some Mother 32 & Mangrove sequenced by Kria.

Bought my first custom oscillator for the Prologue yesterday (“Organism” by Dirt Box Synth). Was a bit inspired by my neighbour’s wind chimes on the way out to the studio…

Another custom patch using the “Organism” user oscillator for my Korg Prologue. For a “flagship analogue synth” it sure can sound very digital, and I love it!

Hello. Not entirely new to the forum, have been reading it for a while, but I just wanted to post my music here. I made it all free during the coronavirus quarantine.

Most of the music falls approximately in the UnGuitar category - experimental, microtonal, modular-processed guitar music.
