Concept:  Create a brazenly hardcore eclectic experimental techno work (without percussion) connecting the Bastl Kastle 1.5 synth to the mixer on the Make Noise O-Coast synth. 

Mastered on June 23, 2025 using Bandlab mastering, mastering preset is Tape, intensity is 50 percent, input gain is -4.5. Prior to mastering the effects including gain were re-adjusted on the original mix and a feedback killer effect was added and the Teclab BA-2A compression was removed. 

Signal path:  Kastle to O-Coast to Bastl Dude mixer to USB Audio Adapter to Chromebook to guitar input on Bandlab. 

O-Coast patches:  
Clock to Time
Kastle out to mixer chnl 2 input
PGM A on
PGM B on (arp)
RED light by CV to Multiply
Gate by MIDI B to Slope
Mixer out to Dynmc
Saw to Balance
1/Oct to Decay
EOC by Time to Overtone

Kastle Patches:
OSC out to Waveshape
Waveshape to Stepped

I turned Waveshape on the Kastle throughout the work

Bandlab Effects: 
* Gain is -0.8 dB

Eclectic Techno

MËL ROSE TECHNO est une artiste engagée qui fait de la musique un outil de guérison, de libération et de résistance.
Avec son album TRIBU L'EXPÉRIENCE, elle convoque les esprits des peuples racines, les battements de la techno et la force des mantras pour créer des cérémonies sonores modernes.
Ce projet hybride mêle live machines, chants ancestraux et transe collectives pour faire vibrer le corps et les consciences. Inspirée par les rituels chamaniques et la culture rave, TRIBU est un espace de réappropriation du sacré, une réponse poétique à un monde fragmenté. C'est une danse pour se reconnecter, une transe pour se souvenir, une tribu pour ne plus être seul.e.

June 2025 - Not posting new songs for a bit as I am applying mastering to the current songs here. I am also redoing some of the effects for certain mixes so mastering comes out better. I'll announce when that is complete and return to creating new songs to add. 

I listen to tons of techno, trance and EDM. I grew up tho with 60s and 70s rock and jazz fusion. I took piano for five years. My dad played piano, accordian, xylophone, bongos and little bit of guitar. Mom was an oil and acrylic artist. In college I practiced piano in the listening rooms and hung out in the music degree buildings and went to bunches of concerts in the SF Bay Area. 

In 2018 I landed a writing gig with DJD UK Global Music and wrote 74 listener reviews of songs for their artists. The label owner later retired after a long career in music production and marketing and closed his label.

I released my debut digital album on the DJD UK Global Music label in March 2019 called "Off Grid Analog", 13 tracks, 48:05 minutes of experimental/electronic/noise original music available for just a year on all major online outlets.  It was fun working with a label and to create an album. 

In the past I've created music on a Korg Poly-61, Korg X-50 and an Alesis Micron and mixed on a Mackie 1402-VLZ3 14-channel mixer. Today I've been creating electronic, experimental and noise music with a Teenage Engineering PO-28 Robot Pocket Operator, Stylophone Gen X-1 Analog Synthesizer, Bastl Kastle 1.5 Synth,  Meeblip Geode Synth, Alesis Q25 Controller, Kieth McMillen QuNexus USB MIDI CV Gate Controller, Alesis Micron Synth, Rucci 8-bit Power Synth, Rucci Maximal Drone, Rucci 16-step CV Sequencer,  Moffenzeef Modular MSG II Black, Stylophone Gen R8 Synth, Bastl Dude Mixer, Korg Volca FM Synth, Make Noise O-Coast Synth, Korg Monotron Delay Synth, Korg NTS-1 Synth Benidub Filtro, Arturia Keystep Controller, etc. I got away from melodic pieces to explore music and to dabble in electronic, experimental, noise, drone and experimental techno, ambient, trance styles.

My home studio includes m-Audio BX5 powered monitors and use of Beyerdynamic studio headphones, Sony and Beats phones. I use a Chromebook and the cloud-based in-browser Bandlab DAW and I do my own mastering. I use both a Baslt Dude Mixer and the Behringer Xenyx 1002B 10-chnl mixer. I use Mogami cables, Roland Gold MIDI cable, CV cables, iConnectivity MIDI to USB cable. I use a Boomstick Psychoacoustic DAC for added richness of dynamics. Final signal path output goes through the USB audio adapter into my Chromebook.  I rarely do multitrack preferring a straight signal path from one device to the next till final put goes through a mixer to the audio adapter into the Chromebook. 

I'm active on synth and music groups on Facebook under my name:
John Koudela III.  My music name tho is jtechno on Soundcloud. 

I'm located north of Seattle, WA. Contact me at:  jtechnoelectronicmusic@yahoo.com
