Description: An improvisational composition on the Buchla Music Easel using a program card designed by my dear friend Todd Barton. He calls it Pointillism and each touch on the keyboard results in a random event. Added to that is input from the Benjolin.

masterfully performed and sonically sculpted!

Heh, as wild and wonderfulas ever ... sorry, Todd,  my account was hacked and I was laying low for a while....

Just a collection of anything I like which features a Buchla instrument or sounds like a Krell piece.

BUCHLA KRELL HEAVEN

A live improvisation by D.A.Wilson on an extremely rare 1982 Buchla 400-T computer controlled 6-voice hybrid synth (digital "arbitrary" oscillators into analog filters) running MIDAS-III complete with flat pressure sensitive Touch Controller housed in a custom Teak solid wood cabinet awakens during return to operation and overhaul and Lotharek Rev.F HxC virtual floppy disk retrofit at Hideaway Studio.

The touch keyboard was a nightmare to get used and it took a great deal of my concentration to perform this as the pressure-to-pitch modulation was pretty intense on the patch I'd dialled in that day but it certainly resulted in something from the heart.  The highly responsive playing surface opens up some interesting possibilites for expressive patch design and playing!

1982 Buchla 400 Awakens: Haute Tension

Okay! Now for something completely different! Warning: Loud noises, feedback, distortion and sonic destruction.  Not for the weak of heart or ear.  For a video of this self-generating patch: https://youtu.be/UMKRqUjeMFs
Also in play via Aux In on the Easel a Synthrotek Chaos NAND

Buchla Easel Self Destruction

Pure, raw Easel. No effects except the built in spring reverb at the end.  This is a deceivingly simple patch which uses the Easel to process and sculpt and collaborate with a little Eurorack Synthrotek Lunch Box system. See this video for specifics:

Buchla Easel-Out to Lunch

Wonderful strength that you find within you, every time. 
Bowed to this, which leaves subtract the power that lends you anced whenever you are about to fall, to suffocate ... 
Such as crying inside , despite the power conferred , never ceases to feel the background, but that laughter hides performed with skill . 
You love your strength . 
Because in your fall , before you hit the ground, it caresses you and reassures you . 
Is drying your tears and let you enjoy the fall in full , and makes you feel every blow as if you was destined for a long time . 
And once on the ground, came up to you and penetrates you , creeps up to you to pick up at all, and looks at you straight in the eyes , without words , like a lover just met . 
All of a sudden the adrenaline rises and you are back on the feet, as if nothing ever happened.
To the strength of which will never be lacking , this my humble bow. 
Without the fall, there's not arise.

296e Spectral Transfer Drone

Two tracks of a Buchla Music Easel recorded "live" separately then combined to replicate a "duel" between 2 Easels. The patches were based on Todd Barton's Krell and Homage to Morton Feldman patches.

Buchla Music Easel Duel 02 Edit 01

For this track, I'm using a Buchla Easel program card that Todd Barton designed which creates randomness for each key touch. I'm using that to modulate, well, everything it modulates. The steady beat is coming from the Benjolin to Aux in.
