TL PREMIERE : MSTEP - Hidden Units [Sounding Functions]

No More Naija Men

ENNY - No More Naija Men

A quick demo of my latest patch Pocket Batería, which is based on a workflow I'm using in Ableton Live, that I wanted to recreate in Pure Data (Pd) for Critter & Guitari's Organelle.

Pocket Batería is a multisample-based Euclidean sequencer for 3 drum-voices, inspired by Samba Batucada drum ensembles but is in no way intended to be a clone of the real thing.

Each drum voice consists of a set of samples that are picked at random. No sample will be played twice in a row to create a more organic feel.

The audio signal gets slightly distorted/overdriven for a grittier sounding kit.

Supports MIDI out for all individual notes and syncs with Ableton Link.

Sun People - Sound Sculptures (recorded live @ NerdNights Graz)

While Sun People is usually known for hi-energetic fast mixes of bass music, jungle, juke and footwork this mix for Institute for Sonic Welfare’s NerdNights is on the opposite end. The constant push & pull effect of his usual mutantextures is replaced by a delicate tension "to guide the people of the sun through the grey haze opening the door into an irreal ghost world" (1). As fragile and dangerous as this journey is, so are the very first unsounds heard: Crackles, lo-fi-textures, electronic background noises, modulated sinusoids fading in and out; an ethereal soundscape suddenly grounded in all to familiar everyday sounds. The silence inbetween sounds, the sounds not heard seem even more important than those played. Humming otherworldly voices and the distant tik-tok of a clock, left behind, losing its meaning. This sonic irreality creates its own laws of space-time, the ghostworld is not bound to the continuous and linear progress of time, yet simultaneously in permanent knowledge of transitoriness… of a vibration, a moment, life. At the threshold of the gate a voice repeating “she was a visitor” (2), accompanied by crackling of the record, reminds us that we crossed the barriers between the existent and the non-existent, a boarder we have crossed before and will cross again. For the first time synthetic sounds takeover the atmosphere, highlighted in their artificial otherworldliness. While we “would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed […] a storm is blowing[, …] irresistibly propels [us] into the future.“(3) And large bells in the distance remind us of the impossibility to dwell. The mythical world stretches and contracts, bends and buckles under the pressure of the debris of physical reality, a painful scream, torturing shouts, and spectral whisper accompany us until mumbling voices turn into a single drone.

Скубут (Skubut)

Graue Straßen, graue Stadt! Скубут (Skubut) singen Sozialismus als Hochburg des Post-Punks. Mikhail Shlepin, ein Düsterknabe aus der Ukraine, klemmt dafür nicht nur die Tschick zwischen die Finger, sondern auch den Plattenbau-Chic in die Stimme. Mit Live-Support von Sergy Turiya am Bass und Arthur Kudlay an der Klampfe wird ihr Salon-Auftritt eine Klassenfahrt ins retrospektive Tränental.
