Mick Karn Cancer Appeal Fund


Mick Karn of Japan and Dali's Car fame was recently diagnosed with cancer, from mickkarn.net:

With great sadness we regret to inform you that Mick has recently been diagnosed with advanced stages of cancer. Mick is currently in a positive mood and undergoing further tests and treatment. His family and friends are close with him, supporting him in practical ways, and surrounding him with their love, friendship and care.

Mick has been struggling financially for some considerable time now and we are hoping that this appeal may help to raise funds for any necessary treatment and perhaps go some way towards providing a small degree of financial support whilst Mick's immediate family provide the care and comfort we would all wish for him. We are hoping that his friends, fans and musical colleagues will, over the coming months, offer any support they feel capable of giving. Quite aside from the sheer brunt of daunting medically-related costs, Mick's clear and major concern is for the security and well being of his wife and young son.

If you would like to make a donation whether as an individual or as a group, you can do so via the paypal link below which has been set up for this sole and express purpose. Any support you are able to give, no matter how small, could make a difference in helping Mick cope during this difficult period. His friends will be looking at a variety of ways to raise funds.


Donate at mickkarn.net!

Nightshift from New Atlantis Audio


Received an e-mail from Theodore, over at New Atlantis Audio, over the weekend about his latest refill, Nightshift! I'm hoping to procure a copy for a video review soon, in the mean-time here's some information on Nightshift:

Our latest release is called "Nightshift", and is based around a bunch of overnight field recording sessions we did at some of the biggest, spookiest places we could get in to. Abandoned factories, underground tunnel systems, an old foundry and more. We captured creaking machines, giant pulley systems, huge steam pipes, blast furnaces, acid baths, antique machinery of all kinds. One of the places even came with its own creepy ass crow on the roof, sometimes you just get lucky like that. Those field recordings were processed, mixed and mutilated in varying degrees to create this super unique, super atmospheric library that definitely sets a haunting tone with a totally original vibe.

This is our largest collection yet, weighing it at a healthy 1.2 GB, with just over 250 audio files ranging from short, fast moving effects and buildups, to long playing evolving soundscapes that bend, twist and morph all over the place - some are almost 3 minutes long! There is a tremendous amount to explore inside this library and we can't wait to hear what you do with it. We know many of you are doing scoring work for tv and games with our sounds and this collection will definitely be a killer toolset to have for those kinds of projects. While the audio content is most definitely the star of the show, we also included a little Reason ReFill with a handful of playable Combinators and a drum kit made from these found sounds. Head over to newatlantisaudio.com for demos and details.

More info on Digital Genome!


Received an e-mail from Harald a bit ago with some more info on Digital Genome:

Soundcells started working on this ReFill late 2008. "Digital Genome" slowly matured towards the final form in which it is now:

In modern molecular biology, the genome is the entirety of an organism´s hereditary information. It is encoded either in DNA or in case of this fine ReFill it´s the AMIGA1200 encoded in Reason´s NNXT samples. The AMIGA1200 (code-named ‘Channel Z‘) with it´s 8-bit Paula chip was extremely popular among producers all over the world in the early nineties. Using a specific trick it was possible to make recordings at 14-bit. "Digital Genome" picks up the thread where Soundcells left with "bitBUMPER deluxe" with it´s funky, housy and spacy lo-fi character! Warm, gritty, sleezy, dangerous and nostalgic are the keywords. This ReFill can be used as a full workstation since everything the old Amiga had to offer is in there: basses, keys, lead synths, warm pads and enough drums and percussion to eat your heart out. And do not forget the wonderful FX section - check the mp3 demos to convince yourself. The 150+ Genome combinators are conveniently built up with the right button functionality.

‘Digital Genome‘ Contents:

- 153 combinator patches, great for many different styles of music.
- 6 different folders: Bass, FX, Keys, Leads, Miscellaneous, Pads.
- 171 NNXT patches containing the basic sounds which were used for the combinators.
- 230 original AMIGA1200 samples, 178 MB uncompressed.
- 21 fresh and great useable rex loops.





Very cool! Now the Amiga 1200 this refill is sampled from was Commodore's third computer, released in 1992. However the sound chip was based on the earlier A-1000 model. And in reality the Amiga 1200 was technically similar to the Atari Falcon computer as well. What does this mean? The Amiga 1200 chipset is capable of some serious lo-fi digital grit! Check out Digital Genome at www.soundcells.de.

Digital Genome from SOUNDCELLS!


Received an email this morning from Harald at SOUNDCELLS about his newest refill, Digital Genome, a soundbank for Reason based on the Amiga1200 chip! Exactly the kind of Lo-fi gritty sound that gets me excited:

Dear Reason / Record Users,

it took some time - but now it´s done:

"Digital Genome" has been released today!

This fine ReFill, wherein the AMIGA1200 is encoded in Reason´s NNXT samples, picks up the thread where we left with "bitBUMPER deluxe" with it´s funky, housy and spacy lo-fi character! It sounds warm, gritty, sleezy, dangerous and nostalgic - please check the mp3 demos to convince yourself.

"Digital Genome" is on sale until July 15!

Kammerflimmern


Semesterprojekt „Interactive Installations”
Sommersemester 2010
Hochschule Darmstadt (h_da)
Dozent: Martin Schuster

Kammerflimmern is an interactive installation that deals with the relationship
of humans and machines.

The visitors heartrate is measured and converted to a midi clock signal which
is fed into a sequencer which creates a symphony of machine sounds.

Furthermore on every heartbeat some air is mixed into a circuit of liquid to
visualize the pump function of the heart.

The project was realized using
- an old bike computer to measure the heartrate
- an arduino board to get the data into the software
- puredata to convert the signal to a midi note
- midiclock-software to generate a midi clock signal
- native instruments Maschine to generate the actual sounds

Techno in 6 sounds using nanoloop


Nanoloop is an app for the iphone/ipad, it is a 6 part sequencer
with sounds synthesized using FM, noise, pulse or sample. You
can find out more about it by visiting www.nanoloop.com

This is my first attempt at using it for a track, it is quite easy to
use and very minimal but quite interesting and a lot of fun. If
you have an ipod touch, iphone or ipad and enjoy making music
it is well worth checking out.

Stompp Composer


New from the mind of Tom Pritchard, aka Stompp, comes Stompp Composer! An awesome refill for Reason/record that helps users come up with unique and original melodies based on different scales, modes, and ragas. What a great idea! Is it just me or can this guy do no wrong? Seriously I think he might sh*t symphonies. Check it:

Hello everyone! I have been quiet for some time, but having finished my degree I'm now getting back into making free patches. This is the first in what I hope to be a whole load of new freebies. This time around it's more of a tool than a usual sound patch, so please read the following carefully, absorb inwardly and enjoy.

Recently I've been finding it hard to come up with musical ideas. Inspired by my Kaosillator, I thought I'd program something to get the ideas flowing. It worked quite well, figured I'd share it!

The Kaosillator itself comes with a built in series of modes, which can be transposed up or down to your heart's content. The idea is that by selecting a different mode and playing about, you won't be able to hit a wrong note on the Kaoss Pad and musical ideas will leap out at you as you play - which they do!

What I have done is to take most of these modes and sequence each into a Matrix Pattern Sequencer Pattern inside a Combinator.

Here's how it's supposed to work.

There are 25 combinators in this ReFill. Each one is programmed to play a distinct mode. Here are all the modes with their notes when in the default pitch (starting from C), as according to the Program Category List that comes with the Kaossilator.

Ionian - C D E F G A B C
Dorian - C D Eb F G A Bb C
Phrygian - C Db Eb F G Ab Bb C
Lydian - C D E F# G A B C
Mixolydian - C D E F G A Bb C
Aeolian - C D Eb F G Ab Bb C
Locrian - C Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C
Major Blues - C Eb E G A Bb C
Minor Blues - C Eb F Gb G Bb C
Diminish - C D Eb F F# G# A B C
Combination Diminish - C Db Eb E F# G A Bb C
Major Pentatonic - C D E G A C
Minor Pentatonic - C Eb F G Bb C
Raga Bhairav - C Db E F G Ab B C
Raga Gamanasrama - C Db E F# G A B C
Raga Todi - C Db Eb F# G Ab B C
Spanish Scale - C Db E F G Ab Bb C
Gypsy Scale - C D Eb F# G Ab B C
Arabian Scale - C D E F Gb Ab Bb C
Egyptian Scale - C D F G Bb C
Hawaiian Scale - C D Eb G A C
Bali Island Pelog - C Db Eb G Ab C
Japanese Miyakobushi - C Db F G Ab C
Ryukyu Scale - C E F G B C
Wholetone - C D E Gb Ab Bb C

The first pattern of each combinator has one of these modes programmed as an ascending scale. The Matrix is hooked up to the Combinator's CV and Gate input, so that when you run the pattern, whatever is inside your Combinator will be played by the Matrix.

Here's the fun part!

Right click on the Matrix pattern and select Alter Pattern. This will randomise the notes within the current mode. Simply drag in the gate triggers and lengths as you desire at the bottom, and voila! An instant, musically pleasing pattern. Want more variations? Just copy the pattern to another pattern slot, alter the notes again, and tada! Instant variation. Rotary 1 is set to cycle through all available pattern slots, so copy and paste all the patterns you like and switch between them using Rotary 1!

This technique allows you to very quickly create musically pleasing sequences that will work in harmony together. To transpose your mode, simply right click the pattern and select shift pattern up or shift pattern down until you reach the scale you are looking for.

I have included a fairly simple little synth in the patches to demonstrate the potential for these modes - if you like this, please do feel free to use it. To use these patches with other sounds, simply delete my synth and load the relevant devices into the Combinator (don't forget to hook them up to the Line Mixer).

Much love everybody, hope these are useful! I'll be back soon with a proper soundbank.

On this day...


On this day in 1979, Robin Miriam Carlsson, better known by her stage name's spelling: Robyn, was born in Stockholm, Sweden into a family of actors. Robyn got her own start in show business at the age of twelve recording the theme song for the Swedish television show Lilla Sportspegeln. A few years later, at the age of sixteen, Robyn signed a recording contract with RCA and became internationally popular with the single "Show Me Love". However, it was Robyn's self released fourth album, Robyn, that solidified her career and brought about her own sound, a combination of electronica, R&B, and Hip Hop - in no small part to her collaborators Klas Åhlund from Teddybears STHLM, Swedish duo The Knife and former Cheiron producer Alexander Kronlund. Later this week Robyn's fifth album, Body Talk Pt.1, will be released on her own Konichiwa Records label. The album features tracks produced by Diplo, Röyksopp, and Klas Åhlund. Below is a video of her performing the song "Show Me Love" on the streets of Stockholm:

This 1940s Pye Wireless Radio has been picking up broadcasts from that era at the Montrose Air Station in Scotland without power. According to trustee Bob Sutherland:

"If there was a transmitter nearby you'd think it might pick up Radio One or something, but I know what we heard. It went on for half an hour on and off. But the aerial is out anyway. We've had the back off and the technicians said there was nothing but cobwebs and spiders."

52 Reason / Record Tips- Week 16: How to Hook Up and Use A Vocoder


When James goes out to give Reason presentations and demos, he gets one
question more often than anything else: "How do I hook up this very cool
Vocoder that makes no sound when I try to use it?" Vocoders are neat but
they don't work the way we're used to synths working at first glance. There
are no oscillators or LFOs... there are instead Carriers and Modulators...
bands... and other weirdness. But this week James breaks it all down simply
and he'll have you getting in touch with your inner-robot in no time!

Novation Launchpad advanced configuration - Part 1


As I start digging into the launchpad I am trying to create a fun setup for playing
with drum loops live. To achieve this I really needed monetary CC control
values on some pads, as oppose to the default toggle behavior.
In order to set this up we need to use Novation's Automap software. All the
reading I could find pointed to me having to choose either the native Launchpad
configuration (with session mode etc.) OR the Automap configuration to get my
monetary controls. However this is not the case! There is a way to switch between
the two different setups on the fly. If you have a Launchpad and dont know how
to do this I highly recommend you check out this episode!

Berna Jam


One creative thing today in a year of creative things.

theb-roll.com/day-85-sweet-sweet-berna/


Berna is this really rare application that emulates a 1950’s electronic
music studio. It’s based on the methods used in the early days of
sound synthesis to make musique concrete. You have 4 reel to reel tape
recorders in the upper right hand corner that you can route anything to.
You record loops and play with playback speed all the while sending it
through vintage radiophonic-style filters. It sounds amazing and last
night I really had to stop myself or else I would’ve been up all night
messing around with it.
