My musical Influences, on Parabox radio

The Tape Loop Guitar

My friend Look Mum No Computer and me got a Casio EG-5 tape recording guitar at the same time - so just as I was going to film my video his  went up. This enabled me to focus on the part he could not get to work, namely using it with tape loops. 

Soundpack coming tomorrow!

Video Premiere: Collaboration with Red Means Recording

In which I pitch Jeremy a complicated idea I had for collaborating, pieced together from various well-known parts. How it ended it up? Find out today in back to back premieres on his and my channel. Here is his video: https://youtu.be/uEMnRgszgzk

Babelsberg | Fundamental iOS, OP-1

It's time for one of my travel pieces again! Recorded in between rehearsals in Potsdam. Beautiful scenery, looking forward to explore more as time permits.

Enjoy!

Video: The forgotten 1950s vacuum tube synth is back

I revisit my now serviced and modded Hohner Electronium, unleashing its full power via FX.

For some reason this was not posted when scheduled by Patreon, maybe because I had set audio and soundpack releases at the same time. Oh well, better a little late than never!

Your questions, answered!

Though you can still hear my voice crackle in this, my voice is back to full strength again and I looking forward to work on new things.

The rarest Japanese Synthesizer?

I take a look at one of the rarest and strangest synths out there, the Suiko ST-50. Made to accompany classical Japanese/Chinese poetry, it sounds and plays beautifully. 

Enjoy!

Making a track on the test equipment wall | walkthrough

I had this on my mind for some time now, and thank to an invite by Hans Kulk of Willem Twee I threw myself into making a track while talking about it. Minimal editing, almost realtime. I don't think I will make this a habit, but I know there are people that enjoy watching the whole process sometimes.

In defense of fan organs

I like Simon, but here he was wrong. The fan organ is fantastic! 

Also watch the follow up, the BALLOON ORGAN: https://youtu.be/83UBJpLgsWc

There will one or two more crossover videos with the Magpie, fun stuff.

New video Premiere: THC Recursive Machine

This is a machine I believe a bunch of you will enjoy! Based on the idea of feedback patching, you can create a lot of sound without any patch cables inserted. It is on the rougher side of synths, but I enjoy its electric, Suicide (the band) vibe. 

Watch the premiere with me today, soundpack and music release right...

LoFi MiniDV and Half-Speed video techniques used on "Light Splitting"

I hand over the mic to film maker Julian Moser, who created the visual album to "Light Splitting". Its beautiful to see the ways in which cheap technology can be abused for creative purposes.

All Analog Music Production Experiment

I have been working on this video on and off over four months, glad it is finally out!

Enjoy me failing and learning, its fun to do things the hard way sometimes.

Giro | Italian synths and pedals jam

Italy has become a place for out of the box pedals and synths, at least in my mind. Here I combine all my Italy-made instruments into one braindance jam.

Enjoy!

How stream audio processing almost cancelled my stream

Or: Learn from my fail! :-)

Enjoy this little insight into the brave new world of streaming music.

The Amazing Archive of the Media Archelogical Fundus

Here is something that I feel you might enjoy - a look at a collection so eclectic and amazing that is makes me jump with joy. I had no idea that this place excisted until I got invited to go there. Part 2 to come!

Playing the test equipment wall / livestream concert

This Thursday I will be performing live for the first time on the test equipment wall. It’s been a wild time setting this up so far, but I am slowly feeling confident it will work out.

Lomond Campbell will play on his mad machines and my buddy Look Mum No Computer will moderate the talks.

Don't push the sounds around - working with a graphic score

Hey everybody, 

I am talking about working with a graphic score in today's video. A nice break from more gear-focused videos I feel, and for a good research subject. I had before shooting this no idea that Morton Feldman lived upstairs from Cage - what a house that must have been!

The ARP 2500 at Willem Twee Studios - An Introduction

A look into one of the rarest synths around- the ARP 2500. Thanks to Hans Kulk I don't go in blind but with him as an expert guide. 

Enjoy!

Light Splitting - new album

Light Splitting, my third album on Seil Records, is out today.

It is a love letter to travel and exploration, both in real life and in the rare oscillation of strange scientific electronics and breaking tape. It features the amazing Wouter van Veldhoven on the closing track, which was one my happiest collaborations this...

Using a soviet wire recorder as a ghostly echo

In which I explore the wonderful lofi tone of the Soviet made MN61 wire recorder for music. Includes probable Cold War spy communication, a guide on splicing magnetic wire for recording and lots of musical and sound design examples.

Enjoy!

Video: Desktop Orchestra

Hey everyone, 

As holidays are going on here for the next three weeks and my wife is at working, so I have the kids, I don't much time to make talkies. Instead I focus on music composition and a still secret long-term project. Here is a piece I made for the joy of exploring an instrument.

When I first played ...

Eowave Quandrantid Swarm

In which I show the possibilities and quirks of the Quandrantid Swarm Synthesizer I was send by Eowave to review in exchange for their Metalik resonator speaker. This synth offers a wealth of sound and inspiration in a compact package and has found a place in my heart and rack, in spite of a few things that I, as a member of ...

Formanta Polivoks - Soviet Synth Sensation

I just felt like spending time with this rather raw yet beautiful synth, so I made a video on it. Lots of sounds, so you can hear how special this instrument sounds. More soviet stuff coming, if customs lets it pass. Music and soundpack tonight!
