Yamaha EX-5 Demos

A quick demo of some sounds from the Yamaha EX-5. The presets are all what you would expect from a 90s rompler, boring pads and electric pianos. But i made some FM sounds and a few other things and knocked up this track. All straight from the EX-5, no outboard. I was trying to sell it but now I might keep it :)

EX5 Demo

Baalearic Goat - Sunken Spell

On Hemis

I’ve been experimenting further with re-tuning everything I own into Carnatic scales and using chance operations in my sequencing to control slides, accents and reverb and delay sends.

I used to use maxmsp to retune synths using midi guitar mode and pitch bend on each channel with a snazzy custom patch I built but now oddsound just does it all for me. I think they built weird scales into live itself now but oddsound MTS does it better. I've become slightly obsessed with the bhairavi raga scales, they're dreamy. 

Is anyone else really suffering with live 12? It crashes all the time for me when any project reaches over a few tracks in size...

BRAIN-MACHINE INTERFACE-12

Some excerpts from tracks made using Karplus Strong methods on the Yamaha EX-5.

EX-5 Karplus-Strong demos

Excerpts from some tracks I made using only the Yamaha EX-5. The first one also uses samples of a DMX drum machine.

EX5 song demos

Just playing some of my sounds made on the Yamaha EX-5. No musical value, just to demo the patches. Most of my patches use the SELF-FM or TORNADO FDSP algorithms.

EX-5 sound samples

Hailing from Raw Culture, Anna Funk Damage returns with his third release on the Roman label, delivering a record as fierce as it is intimate. Tarantola was born out of a winter suspended between contrasting emotions – melancholy, anger, love, confusion – distilled into a sound that transforms personal fragility into collective energy. There’s no pursuit of perfection here, but rather an urgency running through the veins, taking shape across supersonic punk, wave, ambient and industrial.
Each track is an emotional fragment, a bite that leaves its mark: from the electric tension of Vivere Distaccati to the feverish rush of Trasmissione, from the rawness of Decadente to the hypnotic title track Tarantola, which embodies the beating heart of the album. Side B unfolds into more nocturnal and intimate landscapes, from Chiang Mai to the disenchanted sincerity of Lavoro Troppo, closing with a party that carries the bittersweet taste of reality.
Tarantola is a journey into the chaos of human emotions, an album that doesn’t just narrate but pulls you deep into its sonic labyrinth, giving noise back its vulnerable yet powerful soul.

Thanks to my boy Giova for believing and trusting my ideas. And also wanna thank those who indirectly influenced me in some way, like Oreste, Fabio Sechzig, Sandra Mason, my incredibile family. Last but not least Ian Curtis, Swans and Dead Kennedys.
