    Von Helfenstein - Khaen with Electronics

    "The Isan region of Thailand has given the world the wonders of the khaen. The khaen’s bamboo-driven drones and pentatonic harmonies are a natural partner of the modular synth."

    Heya! I'm preparing for a gig, so I decided to stream one of my rehearsals. Expect lots of wires on the screen and some dubby electronic music in the speakers. Cheers!

  7. Controls [from the archives, 9 May 2021]. Originally performed and recorded for the Modular World 1st anniversary show (8-9 May 2021) which was a massive livestream event of 33+ hrs during the pandemic lockdowns.

    During the lockdown years, Modular World became one example of a fairly niche thing gathering people together worldwide to make experimental art online - when it was not possible to organize the usual small local performances - to create something positive and reach more people than they ever could individually. As the pandemic finally, thankfully, subsided, however, it seems that people went back to the enclosed local communities, and these types of global online communities lost their drive. 

    Also the rapidly accelerating #enshittification cycle of the past few years has buried the visibility of these kinds of communities from all major social media platforms. Of course, as Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) has been pointing out for years, the enshittification of these platforms started much earlier. But somehow amid the pandemic, this niche scene still seemed to flourish, and it was only after Silicon Valley lined up to kiss the ring that the aggressive changes to the algorithms really seemed to change things. 

    Maybe this is correlation more than causation, but as activity at such niche scenes is often also created by fairly principled DIY-oriented people, it seems that many (myself included) have struggled with justifying why we keep feeding these platforms. This disillusionment is further exacerbated by the rise of the AI-slopmachine that will rip off all the non-commercial work from these platforms just like everything else. Online activity that gathers enough momentum to actually keep things active has in these types of niche scenes been very much dependent on instagram and youtube. Over the past few years, the visibility of this type on stuff that doesn’t try to optimise for the alorithm has plummeted. 

    Perhaps all of this has resulted in events such as the Modular World shows reaching fewer and fewer people. As wonderful as the promise of #Fediverse is, so far it seems that we’re very far from reaching the critical mass where it would actually start reaching new people. If the utopian enclave remains enclosed, it eventually dwindles away.

    But we can try! I’m posting these weird little Johannes Karkia mini music videos and performances here bit by bit. It’s a transfer of archive, posted on insta & youtube over th years, and also new work now & then. 

    But also Modular World does still exist! Go check out their channel: youtube.com/live/07ErB3AjlAo?i performance of this piece, and interview with MW’s Johno Wells there on the Modular World youtube channel and on the Johannes Karkia youtube channel [link in the bio above], audio track also on Bandcamp).

  8. Here's my new step sequencer for Pd with multiple pages with independent number of steps/tempo/etc and microtonal support. This object is from the MERDA abstractions,as part of my ELSE library for Pure Data. #anginedepoitrine #modularsynth #puredata #microtonalmusic #computermusic

  10. Ik het nog niet eerder geprobeerd, dus eens kijken hoe dit uitpakt.. Caterina Babieri live.. Niet lullen, gewoon een krap uur aandachtig luisteren. Want leuk.

  11. I expanded my #Moog semi-modulars with some #modular synth modules. Looking forward to experiment with this extension of my set-up.

    I got some 80HP left to fill with other modules. Any recommendations?

  13. The next part of the rat orchestra with #cablesGL and #vcvrack :

    A very squeaky step sequencer, press the encoder to enable or disable step. Change the value to change pitch.

  14. Okay what would you do with sixteen free running CV recorders? Not asking for a friend. Next up would be a nice drone synth with lots of individual oscillators.

    Another option would be to make half of it a step sequencer of some sort. So many options.

  15. Made a lil thing in #vcvrack and #cablesGl Adding parameters in visuals-world as well ins synths-world is more complicated then expected.

  16. Ordered the first iteration of the PCB for the eurorack fuzz/overdrive I'm designing. I'll try it out and see what tweeks to make.

  17. Absolute cacophony in this track, experimenting with automation of downsampling and delay time shifts in Sonic Fauna. It's madness, but I think there are some interesting effects emerging.

  18. Don't ask me why I felt compelled to try to reproduce the "Ipcress noise" from the The Ipcress File, 1965. It's not perfect — there was something that sounded like filter warble that, sadly, I wasn't able to replicate. Otherwise, I tried to be accurate.

    I trust this will not be put to injurious use and I hereby disclaim all liability for damage caused by the misuse of the sound material here disseminated.

  19. Late for the #303day, but happy to share an acidic performance that was inspired by the more aggressive end of the 303 sound.

  20. #esittely #introduction (Scroll down for English)

    Johannes Karkia syntyi korona-aikana lopullisen modulaarisyntetisaattorikaninkoloon sukeltamisen seurauksena. Eurorack- ja muilla syntetisaattoreilla tehtyä elektro-tekno-ambient-industrialia tms. Toinen puolisko Karkia Walo -runomusiikkiduosta @aikako kanssa. Mastodoniin tilin tekeminen lienee yritys lähteä vapauttamaan tätäkin projektia paskoontuneiden kaupallisten alustojen ikeen alta.

    Johannes Karkia was born during the lockdowns as a result of diving down the modular synth rabbit hole. Elecro/techno/ambient/industrial made on eurorack modular synthesizers. Also half of the Karkia Walo poetry music duo with @aikako. Coming here is an attempt to start freeing this project from under the yoke of enshittified commercial platforms.

  21. Twenty minutes of figuring out the best envelope, resonance and distortion for an Acid House track? Just follow me this way:

  22. Today's adventure: does this CGS65 tube VCA/distortion still work?

    Built this sometime in the aughts, bought the PCB directly from Ken back then. It was perforated, so you had to split it in two pieces that were later connected with the rainbow of jumpers you can see here.

    When I got started with panels I used this thin lexan that was perfect for paint or rub-on lettering. The washer colors came later and are a little weird so I might change those. The knobs are also not great for the high-friction alpha pots so I may swap them, too.
