  1. It went well! Friday night on Thames:

    My live improv set was on a boat as part of NAUS #2, an intimate live electronics night curated by Stephen Shiell as part of his residency on board. Two others on the bill amazed me: Tom Hirst playing his self-built synth modules very smoothly! and Mohammed Rowe with feedbacky textures and transients using Max!

    I was the final one. A classic: Mid-set my GameBoy running LSDJ tracker ran out of battery! But I spontaneously switched to SameBoy LSDJ emulator alongside my Cardinal patch and it was OK to keep improvising. Some of the audience sat around on the floor to see things happen up close, which I liked. I definitely was not sending emails from the stage :D

    A proper reflective writing with full sounds and credits is on its way on my new blog elifyalvac.com/blog

    But for now, two mini excerpts merged in this clip: Cardinal and LSDJ.

    Thank you @dreamer and @falktx - Cardinal live first time on a boat on the Thames worked out! And thanks again @mosgaard for recommendations!

  6. this was my lucky access to Buchla modules on Monday. Complex waveform generator, verbos multi-envelope, and source of uncertainty. quad function generator also particularly fun. Recorded over an hour of fiddling with these toys ehem modules when a student was absent. Happy the conservatoire has these tools but not many students show interest unless prompted.

    On another note normally I find it so hard to get on with keyboards as a non-piano player. Guitarist. Different background. There is much to appreciate here. I have dedicated an upcoming episode in my podcast on pioneering electronic music composers to Subotnick and Buchla. even ADSR envelopes can be piano based in most synths but look at this… So much space for experimentation. Open space.

  11. That’s how you are supposed to play WITH these toys… EHEM… modules when you have a short break between your teaching sessions at work

    Ps: I don’t own these

  17. So that's (nearly) all of my synth gear in the new rack, powered and making noise.

    FINALLY

    #Eurorack #ModularSynths

  18. Lockdown modular vibes. I completely forgot about running my baritone guitar through panharmonium. Should further explore these tones. This is from a few years ago during the depths of lockdown early 2021.

  19. Nord Lead 3 and modular.
    A bit of a moody piece here.
    NGL I haven't really been feeling much community vibes over here, lotsa cat love, but not much interaction otherwise, so if you see this give a sign, maybe it's just me, or if you have some secret sauce, it seems the post Musk-hate glow has already worn off over here?

  25. Today would have been Robert Moog's birthday, and he is of course the inventor of the incredibly awesome-sounding Moog synthesizer that you'll hear everywhere in rock music.

    My introduction to the Moog was in the early 90s, I picked up Gary Numan's brilliant album Telekon in a tiny record store in Maryland when I was a teen. I was hooked. I still listen to it.

    youtube.com/watch?v=WW_dgV9sYn

    My second big Moog exposure was on the album Return of the Rentals by the Rentals, the side project of former Weezer bass player Matt Sharp. ANOTHER great album.

    youtube.com/watch?v=wi-H6ohY37

    One more album you might know Moog synths from is of course Abbey Road, one of the first to have Moog on it, specifically a bunch on "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and even "Here Comes the Sun".

    Long live that killer Moog sound!
