I really can't believe how well this lashed up experiment worked!

To add to the mysterious event, it had to be undertaken in near darkness for reasons that will become obvious...

The stringesque effect:

A rough description of how my analog recreation of Daphne's Optical Waveform Scanner works can be found in the playlist description.

The Drone Effect:

This was made by removing the tape mask from the screen and placing a metal aperture grill at an angle between the screen and the sensor thus creating a complex interference pattern with the beam scanning behind it.   The Y-axis on the scope was then modulated at a near multiple of the X-axis scanning frequency which resulting in a very effective slowly morphing drone effect.

Just to be clear - this has not been sampled - it is simply two live recordings captured from the hardware mixed and EQ'd with reverb added.

I have subsequently built a device dedicated to more fully exploring this concept as its clear to me it could render some interesting results.

Oramics Optical Waveform Scanner Concept: Drone & Strings

A rough hardware jam. I'm spending some long overdue time with the cirklon after working on a video game and finding paying work. The cirklon is endlessly interesting, there are so many workflows to discover and features to explore. I keep falling deeper into the rabbit holes. Launching clips with MD took a little head scratching and I can't sort out whether to I want to move drum sequencing to the cirklon. The elektron workflow is so damn good on the native hardware, despite all the power of the cirklon. I sort of fantasize about the more elektron-like p-lock UX for the cirklon which feels blasphemous to say. Cheers and kisses. 

Hardware: Korg Monologue, Ensoniq EPS, Moog Mother-32, Elektron MachineDrum, Sequentix Cirklon, Roland JV-1080. 
Software: Bit of multi-band compression and top-end spatializing in Ableton before the final bounce.
