codeine, dirty three and shellac shows were intense. the main gig (hampson+mathieu duo) was huge too

SELF PROMOTION / vv.aa. – escala 2.3
« on: April 23, 2012, 05:31:29 am »
new & free compilation from Escala-Sismógrafo Radio 3!
glad to see some 12k forum fellows contributing on this release
escala 2.3 is a joint project between Escala netlabel and Sismógrafo Radio3. A massive release divided into three volumes which brings together many of the best ambient, drone, soundscape and electroacustic music producers.
A unique compilation to keep abreast of the latest proposals in advanced music that presents a matchless quality among the experimental scene, both because of the artists who make it up and of the included unreleased tracks.
escala 2.3 is available for free download under 3.0 Creative Commons Licence.

ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC / Re: FX pedals
« on: April 12, 2012, 03:43:08 am »Hey pug. How "musical" are the results?
hi rene!
didn´t see your reply!
well, not musical at all, but interesting results when connecting reverb and (mixed with) distortions. I had tons of fun when plugged it to my fx units

SYNTHESIZERS + SOUND-MAKING HARDWARE / Re: Nord Modular/Modular G2
« on: March 14, 2012, 06:21:14 pm »
as I´m too lazy to play the keys, I always start with self-generated patches (both on the G1 & G2).
rarely I know what I want to do, to be honest, so I keep it as simple as I can (If I want to, I´ll tweak and connect cables improperly later, this is imho the big deal from these synths: you can connect cables wherever you want, just like the real ones)
I usually start with 2 sinewave oscillators (as I´m playing a lot my guitar lately, I try to tune these oscs to flat E,A,D strings)
If needed, I´ll add 2 (or more) sine oscillators, low & high pitched tunings. with this simple idea I can improvise with my guitar (or other instruments) while the nord is running over and over again.
If the whole thing works, it´s time for some modulation to get some "dynamics" fot these lazy sinewaves, adding random and logic signals to trigger envelopes, volume, panning, filters, fx, etc...that´s all!
next step: routing each oscillator to my mixer/soundcard, and press "rec" for 4-5 minutes (cutting, boosting, chopping and fx will be cooked into computer...)
don´t know if this can helps, but works for me
pd:damn, how I miss the sinebank module on the G2!

check it out. could protect your wallet in the long run...
thanks a lot ootini!
my dp2 will be fixed in a few days (ensoniq batteries are a headache to replace).
was browsing thru valhalla site and found that shimmer plugin (sounds fantastic too!)

« on: February 15, 2012, 04:56:42 am »Hi guys,
I started a thing-a-day blog on January 1st this year. I was inspired by a couple of blogs - Marcus Fischer's Dust Breeding in particular, Jared Smyth's Uprlip, Charlie Visnic's B-Roll, and even Taylor's sound a day project.
Here is the address if you are interested in checking it out:

SYNTHESIZERS + SOUND-MAKING HARDWARE / Re: Nord Modular/Modular G2
« on: February 10, 2012, 05:06:37 am »yeah, looks like PC only. it's a myth that the DX is hard to program. all you need is a basic concept of FM synthesis... or, use it like i do.. as a 6-oscillator sinewave pad instrument
i'll try to get some of my NM patches up here in the coming days.
it took me time to learn some dx7 basics and still an fm aficionado (kb+velocity tracking here are a nightmare, imho), but I ended using a simple basic tip: starting the desired or blank program with algorithms 16,17,18, leaving operator 1 on, and turning the others off.
you can see why on the table:
http://bb-attachments.cycling74.com.s3.amazonaws.com/3015.Fig414.png.resize
..much more clear to edit following "hierarchy" on operators (and yes, that copy+paste tip on envelopes helps a lot too!)
love the alising from this machine (converters?), especially on envelopes. dx-tx can sound warm too!
now it´s time for making some ambien-ish stuff with 80´s piano-flute presets
best,
pug

great project-work, moize! I´ll check your sounds tonight..for sure I´ll enjoy them!
(yes, here another G1-G2 user..in fact, as I can remember, I keep some patches from you...not sure if I picked them from EM or early 12k forum)
pd: few days ago was using again my G1kb+os9... and possibily it´s my all time fav synth. (followed by the mw-xt and the classic dx7)
