Please play back on a system with good bass reproduction, otherwise I have no sympathy! Featuring the talents of #bastlinstruments #errorinstruments #decadebridge #brambos #arturia
In this experiment the Korg SQ-1 sends CV sequences to the Decadebridge ‘Sn’ synth and Matrix Mixer. The audio from Sn goes into the Orgeldream ‘Eoten B’ for destructive filtering, then on to the Jomox T-Resonator II and Zoom MS-70CDR for modulation and reverb. My Eoten B has a custom filter which was added a few years after the main build – it has various modes and reacts very well when a good/hot signal is fed to the device.
In a move away from computer generated music and software synthesizers in general, I have adopted some new methods, or perhaps more accurately returned to methods I used back in the early 1980’s.
Live processing of tape based source recordings, CV control of the Passive Operator and much left to chance, as opposed to pre-programming.
I’m looking forward to many happy and unrepeatable accidents in sound.
I’ve been trying out various ideas for S.E.T.I. live performances and the latest one is the KOMA Elektronik BD-101 IR sensor controlling Error Instruments Passive Operator (‘Insane Drum Synthesizer’ in small print). The audio goes out of the BD-101 into the Novation Circuit Mono Station for filtering and to accompany the Mono Station’s drone sequence.
