Four Lines remix 02 - explorations of a Buchla 248 MARF workalike
Another quick example of the flexibility of the MARF-workalike sequencer. The patch is almost identical to the previous video (th-cam.com/video/WGhKrRta5dE/w-d-xo.html) but it generates a completely different vibe. I might post a few more in this series... the MARF is a lot of fun to explore.
Credit and kudos again to @SuzanneCiani for her brilliant Four Lines composition and her report to the National Endowment from 1976 which form the foundation for this musical exploration.

Four Lines remix 01 - homage to Suzanne Ciani and the Buchla 248 MARF
มุมมอง 31919 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Ever since viewing @pyer3354 's recreation of the Buchla 248 MARF in VCV Rack, I've been fascinated by this sequencer and it's capacity to re-compose and improvise in a live performance. Made famous by the dame of modular @SuzanneCiani the MARF is one of the most capable and cantankerous sequencers in all of modulardom. I've dreamed of re-creating the MARF in Eurorack, and the pieces have final...

A few weeks of measuring, cutting, assembling and tweaking, and I'm finally set up with quadraphonic speakers surrounding my new studio. In a feat of good timing, some friends came to visit and an impromptu modular performance ensued. It was my first time playing the modular for a mini-sized audience. It's truly thrilling to perform live, something I haven't done musically for a long time. And ...

Breathing Envelopes with Eurorack Function Generators
มุมมอง 3293 หลายเดือนก่อน
Sustained long notes on synthesizers typically involve an ADSR envelope, with the long part of the note (the sustain) either static or modulated by something like an LFO. This sound wasn't satisfying to me. Sound from acoustic instruments decays over time. When you press a key on a piano, the note can last a long time, but it will eventually fade into nothingness. Same with brass, string or win...

The previous patch was still up on the modular when I powered it on today. After I let it play on its own for awhile, I started enjoying the sounds and couldn't resist tweaking the patch. I decided to record it all and share with you. Nice and simple-some ambient calm for the end of your day. #eurorack #modular #generativemusic #music #ambient #chill #rain #water #relaxingmusic

2024 has been full of creative adventures, mostly in media other than music. My beautiful Eurofriend hasn't been forgotten though, and this week I settled into the new studio (check out that view!) and started patching again. It's been almost eight months since I've had time and breath to dive deep, so I'm starting off easy-a simple, generative, grooving bit of ambient music. Behind the scenes ...

Befaco Pony TZ-FM pitch drift
มุมมอง 308ปีที่แล้ว
A quick little video demonstrating the unusual behaviour of the Befaco Pony VCO TZ-FM input when changing the amplitude of the incoming modulating oscillator. Through-zero FM normally (on other oscillator designs) doesn't destabilize the pitch to this degree. This is the fourth Pony VCO I've tested, all with the same behaviour.
