If you made this a downloadable track I'd most certainly buy it. Even better, make 3 more and I'd buy that album straight away. Seriously.

i always found the novachord to be unbelievably ahead of it's time for 1938

I second the guy suggesting an album of this. Would purchase. Absolutely singular sonics here, and a wonderful composition to boot.

With some intrepidation I decided to have a go firing up Novachord 346 for the first time in what turns out to be 8 years since I resurrected and partially restored this 1/4 ton behemoth!...

To my great relief, this now 85 year old quarter ton 163 tube beast came out of slumber with all 12 of her master oscillators in action and pretty much in the same order she was in last time I hooked this monster to the power!...

After some initial tests I made this recording consisting of one overdub of a plucked Attack setting over a slow sustained Attack setting whilst occasionally moving some of her triple L/C formant resonator controls, the Bright/Mellow control and the Vibrato Depth.  

The source is 100% Novachord and the recording was made directly from the line output of the pre-amplifier into basic delay and reverb but with no form of added modulation processing such as chorus/ensemble/flanger.  Any natural chorusing you hear is due to the Novachord's 6 free-running vibratos acting on pairs of her 12 master-oscillators.

It still truly astounds me that an all electronic instrument originally on the drawing board in the mid 1930s can sound like this.. and even moreso 85 years after she left the factory!!

We are so used to hearing muffled scratchy recordings from the 1930s – but that is not to say its what it sounded like on the day of the recording – the HF the NC produces is amazing for its era.

1938 Novachord #346: The Beast Doth Gently Awaken (86 Year Old Tube Polysynth!)

Dopodomani is a compilation of electronic music curated by David Galea (umbromaniii). It features music by electronic musicians from around the world including Wales, England, South Africa, the USA, Canada, Russia, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Brazil, and so on.
The artists who contributed are Adam Harper, Champi, Synchro Bug, Cult of Doris, Dr. Doctor, Danilo Cerebral, dzc, Fyje, Florian Forster, Herbal Green, Jeff Gregory, Iconic Black Suit, Masonic Kitchen, Mause, Namesshmames, Prins, Pinkfire, Sazuray, Rave Industries, Stereoripe, umbromaniii, and Voxish.
The idea started when Lucas Rizzotto(Danilo Cerebral) asked for a sample pack to make music with.I (umbromaniii) released a sample pack and it turned out to be quite popular with some of my pals. I then asked if anyone was interested in making a small EP of tracks made with the compilation. Funnily enough 21 people from around the world submitted a track each. I submitted two tracks of my own to go at the end so nobody has to feel bad about going last. All of the tracks use sounds from the sample pack, but some artists have added their own synths and samples, to keep things interesting, adding their own secret ingredients to the mix.

Dopodomani is released in the spirit of friendship, generosity, and charity. The charity that we selected was Hunger Relief International, because feeding the poor around the world is so important. www.hungerreliefinternational.org
