Description:
No, I am not going mad! More like an energetic use and interpretation of the Soma Enner instrument.

An orchestration of multiple granular synthesis banks through my custom programmed granular synthesiser, Granie (Release 04, 28-Sep-2025).

For full write-up, see my BandCamp or FaceBook Page.

Enner Madness records audio from external synthesisers or electronic instruments, feeds this into the Soma COSMOS memory station to loop over parts of the performance, giving me a small window to record this into small snippets of audio 30 seconds each, the grains into the Granie. The grains are modulated in time and space, left right audio channel modulations, position modulations, position offsets between grains and small changes in playback frequency amongst the cloud of grains. All of this can be varied by adjusting the rotary encoders of the Push2, not through low frequency oscillators, but through human controls of the rotary encoder knobs and then record those movements as automations to replay. All this is done live. I wanted to keep the performance organic.

The Granie also comes with a dual delay+gain+feedback section, one for the left audio channel and another for the right audio channel. Just as with the granular control, delay times and feedback were controlled dynamically on the Push2 live during the performance.

The Soma COSMOS was put into the Rhythmic Firmware mode, using the #09 Fractal mode and the #6 1/5 dominant mode. So the looping in the COSMOS was not your ordinary looper, rather it embraced improvisation and an ever changing play back.

The album consists of six tracks:

Track 1, Introducing: opens with the Soma Enner as the front end instrument. An energetic use of both the Enner and the granular synthesis of it.

Track 2, Shall I?: develops the ideas presented on track 1, but a bit like, shall I press this button and hear what happens? Again the Enner as the front end, blending this in with granular synthesis grains recorded from the Enner performance.

Track 3, After-Glow: takes the grain banks from track 2 and plays them alone, further exploring what can be done with them.

Track 4, Relief: Puts my electric violin at the front end, an NS Design Wav4. This was feed into the LR Baggs Para Acoustic DI (pre-amp), then feed into the Soma Pipe, then into the Soma COSMS and finally into the Granie. A slow moving, calm violin section was performed and simultaneously some short grains recorded. The grains were then mixed in, providing texture and mystery.

Track 5, Meditation: My (human) voice was sung into the Soma Pipe, through to the Soma Cosmos in fractal mode having fun adjusting live the Blur and Drift settings, with the Granie at the end of the signal chain. As with the other tracks, 30 second grains were recorded, played back whilst adjusting grain parameters, some of which were recorded as automations, leaving my hands free to adjust other grains and so forth. Soma Pipe modes here were alternating between the Harcho (best described as a thick stew soup) and the Filterra (band-pass filter with resonance control).

Track 6, Return: Track 6 returns to a similar style of track 1, playing the Soma Enner to the Soma COSMOS and back to the Granie. The Enner parts used a combination of a drum brush played through the face-plate piezo pickup, finger drum tapping and the touch plate oscillators. Then recording 30 second grains into Granie and experimenting live, with the granular synthesis parameters and feed back controls.

Wise Tree - Kalimba

Conexion Divina (Divine Connection) is a five-track EP covering psychedelic breaks, dub, dubstep, glitch-hop, and downtempo. Across each of these songs, a different tempo or genre is given a fully psy exploration.

Fans of Ott, Bird of Prey, and Kalya Scintilla will each hearken to a particular familiar sound, and fans of label founders Desert Dwellers will be swept away in the ethereal vocals of closer “The Great Barrier Reef,” which is a tribute to one of the greatest wonders of the natural world, which has undergone such devastation over the past year.

Aquiver wants to remind fans that half the world's coral has disappeared in the past two decades. The title track itself is meant to evoke the story of systemic deforestation. In addition to presenting a collection of incredible productions, Aquiver has crafted a concept EP built around reconnecting human roots to nature.

As you Wish

Mindspring Music presents: Gleekch – Lost In Vibrations [MSM093]

‘Gleekch’ was born on a fragmented day in 2014, whilst Clément Bordeau was experimenting in his DAW to create deconstructed melodies and Breakbeats. His music is lost somewhere between the realms of his influences; Dub aspects are found nestled in the middle of a verdant tree and a broken computer - adding acoustic instrumentation on top, to make it feel alive. Gleekch has returned to the Mindspring, beckoning the listener to be driven around in an uplifting and Psychedelic journey, while exploring the vibrations of: Breaks, Glitch, and Trance... Strap in.

Mindspring Music presents: Shwamp - Circus [MSM097]
Shwamp returns with his much anticipated, third album, Circus. Louis has shifted his focus to the development of melodies and crafting a full journey into each of these tracks. With his intent set to create something innovative and different, he chose a warmer sound with a deep chilled dimension. It definitely made this collection of tracks rooted in heart, painting an emotional landscape for us to experience.

The hallmark Shwamp sound is still a big part of the scenery, here. Expect those nice, gooey, mechanical sound design that he is well known for with a very playful feel. During these times of difficult uncertainty, it is a welcome mood; the brighter vibes are poignant and fitting. The ringmaster brings an air harmony, enjoy the Circus!

Shwamp - Hourglass [Mindspring Music]

Behind The Sky is proud to present our 11th release, a sublime and intense document of Buchla compositions recorded live with no computer sequencing.  Moving from impressionistic ambient to proto-industrial dissonance into segments of cathartic release, the songs on this album exhibit a sophisticated approach to sound design and emotionally resonant narratives.

 

“I think about the question “Are you working with me, or against me?” a lot. Usually in regards to my relationships or most often my past self, but this time it was in the context of my instrument. There are sections of the instrument that are designed to work together, but there are points in that partnership where the two sides turn on each other and form chaos. For this album I spent a lot of time dealing with this chaos. Shaping it, fighting it, trying to reason with it. All the while asking “Are you working with me, or against me?” Eventually, by force and at times by accident, I was able to negotiate some beauty out of the chaos. I tethered it to simple melodies and rhythms I connected with, and that brought balance. I got my answer. “  – Kyle Swisher / DARK SPARKLER
