SYNTHESIZERS + SOUND-MAKING HARDWARE / Re: teenage engineering OP-1

« on: December 21, 2012, 04:20:21 pm »

the OP1 is a strange beast and the synth parameters, as they are not really labeled like standard subtractive, or fm or additive parameters, are really arbitrary.. you just tweak until it sounds good...

enjoy!

on december 12th there's a beautiful little release coming that was a product of the recent 12k tour in japan. it's a quiet, and personal way to celebrate the special day of 12/12/12

the release will be posted on available on release day and not immediately solicited to distributors so getting it through 12k will be the only way for a bit.

we hope you (quietly) enjoy it!

SYNTHESIZERS + SOUND-MAKING HARDWARE / Re: Nord Modular/Modular G2

« on: November 27, 2012, 06:57:45 pm »

to celebrate the forum coming back online i just want to say that this sound is spectacular!!!

Hey Everyone

I just created something in tonights upload that immediately made me think of everyone over here at the 12k forum. I wanted to share it with you all

I hope to be back on this forum more than I have been, putting up some Nord Modular bits to share, I have just been crazy busy with starting a new job and because of this its been a time of learning, adjusting and today came as a reminder of whats more important

Its the more textured sound that I done a spell of a few months ago, so thought the listeners here might enjoy it.

FIELD RECORDING / Re: field recording sampling cd

« on: September 05, 2012, 09:02:27 am »

to play devil's advocate... i'm sure this has some use for picture scoring artists who need foley sounds or other background ambiences...

but that's the end of my acceptance...

as, yes, i agree with the above.. this is the anti-field recording archive... i feel quite strongly against any sound libraries of any kind.. they make artists lazy. we should all be creating our own sounds if we truly want music from our own souls.

ART / Re: 12K Artist Recipes: The 12k Kitchen!

« on: August 18, 2012, 06:05:46 pm »

i was in the mood this evening for a tequila cocktail that included rosemary... so i googled it and found something.. made it.. and it's incredibly tasty. i i modified it a little, notes below.

 the recipe goes something like this:


muddle in a shaker:
6 thin slices of cucumber
one ample sprig of rosemary
3/4 shot glass of fresh lime juice
1/2 shot glass simple syrup

then add:
2 shot glasses of silver tequila (i used Espelon)
ice

shake and strain into glass with ice, add a dash of tonic water on top


i did modify it... i strained it into a martini glass with no ice. then, i opened the shaker and scooped out some of the cucumber pulp and pieces so they floated in the glass. i did not add the tonic water and i garnished with a sprig of rosemary

drinking it right now and will post a photo of it in a second!

i bought it on iTunes.. it sounds like good old PiL.. a little "updated".. but all the energy and definitely has their sound!

Have to admit, totally missed that one!  First 3 albums are winners for me, after that, bit hit and miss.  Is the new one worth a purchase (no Spotify here I'm afraid)?

their new album is quite good!

Public Image Limited - Flowers of Romance.  Still have a soft spot for this one.

billy gomberg + offthesky "flyover sound" on experimedia. not new... but listening to a lot of it lately. and more impressed with every listen. this may be entering "classic" territory for me (in the best possible way).. absolutely LOVE this album.
