15 minutes of birdsong recorded this morning. Heavily processed to get rid of Highway A27.

Morning birds Amelisweerd Utrecht March 23, 2021, 8 AM

One of the best performers on a visit in an empty Amersfoort Zoo together with Aline Bruins. Recorded with a Neumann RSM191 into a SD Mixpre6 at 192/24 and heavily processed with RX7 afterwards. Oh and yes, I know the picture has Rhinos. They did not really make any sounds.

Just after I got set up for recording 4 guys arrive with a trailer full of rubble and they begin to unload it like there's no tomorrow. Recorded with a Neumann RSM191 into a SD MixPre6 and a LOM Geofon added for extra bass. Processed and mastered to make it sound a little bigger. Just because I felt like it :)

Rubble Unload

Recording of the clockwork of Eise Eisinga's Planetarium in Franeker, Friesland, The Netherlands. A legendary marvel of self built mechanics showing the movement of the planets. More info here: https://www.planetarium-friesland.nl/en/

Thanks to the lovely staff at the planetarium for letting me record there. Heavily processed with RX to get rid of the airconditioning....

Eise Eisinga's Planetarium Clockwork

The monthly test of the air raid siren (or rather warning siren for calamities). Recorded at noon on May 3rd, 2021 next to the TivoliVredenburg building. RX'd to get rid of some distortion, voices and rumble.

Air Raid Siren Utrecht City Centre

QCD into Propagate triggering Elements and a complex of sequencers providing melody from a set of notes. (PP + Doepfer seq switch transposed by 2 HSTA-08-BABY8-SEQ via Disting precision adder mode) Elements multed into Clouds. Various LFO's S&H and Deeper A149-1 random modulations for Elements, Clouds and Propagate.

Strumming

Magnet Kicker

4 short fm sounds from Akemie's Castle and Doepfer A110-4 thru L1  Quad vca controlled by Quadra envelopes. Output from QCD into SSF Propagate receiving random modulations on the gate delay inputs. All through Clouds with various random modulation from SSF URA.

Low Energy Ion Ring

Track started life as a loop in Hotel Insor on Berlin's Samariterstrasse. You have to give things a name sometimes.

Insor

Recording made of a generative patch at the Museum of Sound at Werkspoorkathedraal Utrecht, June 3rd 2018. This was an exhibition of modular patches curated by Colin Benders.

Recording of my performance July 3rd during Noodlebar at Worm, Rotterdam. Patched on location, idea formed on the spot, performed on the fly.
Mucho thanks to daddy Dennis Verschoor and my co-performers Bart "Sendepause" Wolff and Jurgen "SONICrider" Winkel and to everyone who showed up that night. And Worm and crew of course.

Allert Aalders studied sound synthesis with Ernst Bonis at the Utrecht School of Arts in the early 90’s. He was a founding member of techno act Human Beings in the mid 90’s.  
In the 2000’s he started as sound engineer at Utrecht’s Tivoli venue, toured as front of house mixer with acts like Epica, Nobody Beats the Drum and especially Berlin’s techno-punk god T.Raumschmiere.
In 2012 he founded Sonar Traffic with Ben Spaander (Cosmic Force). With over 50 mostly vintage synths this is the ultimate synth geek playground, located in Kytopia in the old Tivoli venue in Utrecht. 
With Sonar Traffic, Allert organises the bi-monthly event “Modulation” at Kytopia: 3 modular performances on Sunday night. 

Allert does mostly improvised performances on his modular. He always tries to give sounds an organic quality.

Allert has performed at Noodlebar Rotterdam, Wired Electronics Brussels, Modulab Eindhoven, Superbooth Berlin 2016, 2017 and 2018, Pitch festival Amsterdam, Ginko Modular Fest, Common Ground Berlin, Amsterdam Dance Event Soundlab 2016, Voltage Control Amsterdam (Paradiso) and Uncloud festival Utrecht 2016, 2017, 2018
