space solitude 0.1

Накрутила вчера за полтора часа звук. Это можно играть бесконечно.

Big Volcanana photo dump. Original faceplate designs on the train, more better faceplate designs, where I’m putting the thing together, gratuitous nudity, box building, battery plots. Now I’m just waiting for the switches to arrive so I can get to the next part. Waiting waiting waiting...

(via BusinessControlled @ The Old Hairdressers tonight....)

The Volca Modular was the inspiration for the text based sequencing. I played around getting out various sounds but drew a mental blank on what music to actually make. The Volca Modular has a sequencer but no MIDI in so notes had to be addd manually.

A text based system was devised as it was easiest the create and could be applied to other synth sequencers in my collection.

Just getting weird over here

i spent all my rockerboy points on performance instead of production

Making some noise (2)

Еще немного игры с розовым шумом. На этот раз я подаю шум на входы LPG. Таким образом, он смешивается с исходным звуком и обрезается огибающей (envelope). Причем LPG задействованы оба: второй создает звуковой фон. Можно подать шум на вход Utility, b, а уже с выхода - на LPG. Оказалось, в этом случае он будет практически однороден, без тональных примесей. К сожалению, оказалось также, что при записи я не могу в деталях слышать, что играю. Поэтому, хотя видео записано одним дублем, в нем имеются склейки - кое-какие хорошие задумки пришлось вырезать. Если и дальше выкладывать свою игру, без подключения наушников не обойтись, а для этого, возможно, придется разориться на микшер.

been learning how to work with breaks on the polyend tracker and i think i have a clearer idea of what direction i want my next EP to go in now. i'm thinking i want to lean more into a rhythmic noise/industrial direction with a dash of breakcore. raw atonal noise and abrasive loops from my volca modular with gabber kicks and then occasionally those breakcore edits.

Presence // Volca Modular+Volca Keys

An earlier iteration of my studio, circa early 2021 if the file date is to be believed. Basically the first iteration of my DAWless setup. If I recall correctly, this is essentially the setup I used to record my Oneirogen Codex album. Pretty sure this was the photo I took to commemorate this edition of the studio, and the album recorded with it, right before I rebuilt it.

Novation Circuit and Arturia Beatstep Pro (both since sold) handled sequencing and synching the whole thing. Korg Monologue monosynth (now sold); Arturia MicroFreak and MiniBrute 2s are both still in the collection, as is the Korg Volca Drum propped up in the middle there. Various modular stuff and a Koma Field Kit FX (all still part of the studio, minus maybe a few modules). You can just make out a vintage Akai tape deck on the right there; I used that to master that album. Still have it and use it all the time.
