Self-playing soundscape

"Lost Horizons"

From ikjoyce.

A continually evolving sound carpet as the modules cycle through their particular functions, each at their own rate, and probably never exactly repeating the overall effect.

Contrapuntal invention for Scottish synth

Macbeth Micromac-D Paraphonic Demo

From maisonvague

Maisonvague says "It's an original composition written specifically for the video employing 18th century contrapuntal techniques. I had Bach in mind during parts of it -- especially his Two-Part Inventions. But there are hints of Schubert and Mozart in there as well."

Ken MacBeth makes these very nice but expensive synthesizers in Edinburgh. (It's the blue one at top-right in the video.) It feels good that these things are designed just down the road from here, but I can't afford to buy them:(

Taming Lynch's Weirding Module

From davidryle.

Just about as far as you can go with modular synths! Not an especially cheap way to heat your house but wonderfully mad. No melody to speak of here but a great soundscape produced very organically. About 8 minutes in, it edges into more tonal territory with exhilarating effect.

Waldorf Nave: iPad synthesizer - sound design 1

I've been getting deep into programming Nave, the most amazing synth for iOS! This isn't a finished piece of music; more of a showcase for the sound design possibilities.

You're hearing the raw sound output from Nave with no additional effects on the iPad. Just a touch of compression afterwards in Logic to tame the spikes.

Best enjoyed in stereo!

Salve intemerata (Thomas Tallis)

From Richard Galbraith

Wonderful use of modular synths to re-imagine this choral work by the greatest composer of the English Renaissance.

Springtime Sequence 1

From DJRexParis.

Nicely shot video with lovely dark ambience. These downtempo tunes take a few bars to get under way! Be patient.

Novation // Launchkey Mini Performance ft.KillTheRobot

Quite short but brilliant demo of a recent product from those nice people at Novation UK. I have several Novation pieces of kit and they're most loveable!

"I must get one of those" - number 0

Actually; I am so not going to buy one of these!

Who says electronic instruments are necessarily mechanical and inexpressive?!

Done with the Haken Continuum fingerboard.
