Serge Analog Modular Synthesizer and a homemade <a href="http://mypeoplepc.com/members/scottnoanh/birthofasynth/id34.html">Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer</a>.  I tried to make Buchla's bell sounds with my Serge.  It didn't work but I still made something interesting I think.  There are many metallic percussive sounds, even if none sound like bells.  The photo is a still frame from the video of the performance which can be seen <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNvzzZLBD0Q">here</a>.

Serge Analog Modular Synthesizer and a homemade Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer

This track features a Serge Synthesizer, and a homemade <a href="http://mypeoplepc.com/members/scottnoanh/birthofasynth/id34.html">Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer</a> modulated by the Serge.  Both devices are piped through a very small Fender Frontman 15G guitar amp.  I can fit that amp in my backpack and it's loud enough to hear over other musicians, but easily overdriven.  I recorded the audio from the amp through the mic on a video camera (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqdVLcyzAVk">check out the HD video</a>) and added reverb to it.  The evil laughter is from me laughing at the ridiculous sound of the tempo change.  I just couldn't stop laughing it seemed so funny.  The photo is a frame from the video.    

It Must Have Been Something I Ate

LYRICS:
      I feel like I recognize you, I remember your face.
      Perhaps from a dream, a vision, or outerspace.
      Psychedelic woman.
      Baby the sight of your body gives me a thrill.
      I want to shake you through the night and
      make some shockwaves the whole world will feel.
      We'll shake the town baby drill right through the
      China ground, yeah I know you want to, come on.
      Psychedelic woman.
      Rup pa pum pum goes the beat of the drum. rup pa pum pum.
      (repeated backwards and forwards)
      Psychedelic woman.
      
      INSTRUMENTS:
      Gibson Les Paul Standard with Stetsbar
      Conga (Isaac Streckenbach)
      Cymbals, Shakers, Zill, Tamborine

Psychedelic Woman

this is my heart.  I'm uploading this as an experiment

Heart 48000 24

This song is made from one track, one take.  The Serge is being controlled by the 8-step GetLoFi Sequencer kit http://www.getlofi.com/Sequencer modified to blink an LED.  The LED blinks at each sequencer pulse, regardless of the output location.  I used the Lite2Sound http://ericarcher.net/devices/lite2sound/ to turn each of these light-blinks into pulses for additional triggers.  The picture is from San Francisco next to Golden Gate Park.  I had fun making chaos there.  

Haight Ashbury Robot Sergury

I was inspired by the lawnmower people who noisily take care of the grounds here.  This patch makes more interesting sounds then most circuit bent gadgets I've heard combined.  I've posted a video, this piece is made using just the Serge synthesizer and its knobs.  The recording is one take, one track.  

Satan's Garbage

This is a song I made while drinking beer.  It features some percussion and a Serge Analog Modular Synthesizer.  It uses filter envelopes in such a way as to give the song that Acid-genre sound.  I controlled the Serge using it's knobs, Volta, and a Monome 256 running SevenUp; the percussion was triggered with a Monome 256 running SevenUp.  

Rain + Fog = Mushrooms (acid version)

Serge Synthesizer triggering homemade <a href="http://mypeoplepc.com/members/scottnoanh/birthofasynth/id34.html">Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer</a> and taking audio input from <a href="http://www.loudobjects.com/kit/">Loud Objects Noise Toy</a> aquired at HandMade Music Austin, built and programmed by Dr. Bleep.  The Loud Objects Noise Toy is outputting mostly digital white noise to create snare type sounds, and the Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer is outputting all kinds of different sounds.  

Serge + Loud Objects Noise Toy + Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer

This song is about a space ship that lands on a planet. First the space travelers descend to the planetary surface. Then they disembark their ship, then party for a little while. Then they leave I made this song in one take using three electronic musical instruments together.  <a href="http://www.loudobjects.com/kit/">Loud Objects Noise Toy</a> was my white noise source, a homemade <a href="http://mypeoplepc.com/members/scottnoanh/birthofasynth/id34.html">Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer</a> added additional effect, and a Serge Analog Modular output most of the sound. You may see the entire setup I used in the photo for the song.



Space Travelers Land, Then Party, Then Leave The Planet

Made with Serge Analog Modular and homemade <a href="http://mypeoplepc.com/members/scottnoanh/birthofasynth/id34.html">Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer</a>.  Lots of panning and interesting sounds.  File is wav, 24/96K; photo is the setup.  I used all my patch cords for this one.
