nice little piece of music, almost cozy atmosphere:)

Rough Hands

The trajectory of Alex Cobb’s music over the course of the last decade could be viewed as a distillation of tone and atmosphere to arrive at Chantepleure, his most optimistic and sanguine musical statement to date. The album, however, was created at a time of heartache, isolation and emotional upheaval and acts as a balm of tender tones where abstract guitar lines circle and suspend in a kind of refined elegance. Noise, once a hallmark of Cobb’s music, has not been entirely removed, but manifests here in a different form. A delicate dissonance shades the edges of the these four tracks, providing textural color and gorgeously offsetting the lush nature of the music. Even in short spans, this approach yields substantial results. At three and a half minutes, “Disporting with a Shadow” pulls back the curtain just enough to let flecks of natural guitar notes and traces of alluring melody seep into the mix. The album closes with the side-long “Path of Appearance,” a cathartic composition that is best described as a poem of overtones which, like the rest of the album, is sourced from electric guitar and minimal effects but feels more akin to the sun stretching to fill all corners of a darkened room. A testament to sonic refinement, a way of coping, an exciting step forward for an established artist—the minimalist Chantepleure is all of these things. LP releases on 4/28/15.

Disporting with a Shadow

Going to do some basic patch notes for this one for anyone interested..

This track is a recording of a stereo mix of 4 inputs coming from my eurorack modular synth going into a mixer, being played live as it recorded.

There are 3 voices:

~One stereo voice which is Rings, the resonator module going into the Dual Looping Delay by 4ms. The DLD left and right outputs are going to the mixer.  Rings is being fed a white noise source on the 2nd polyphony setting and in the Modulated/inharmonic strings setting.  Rings is being sequenced by Rene with the quantized voltage output. This is making the main melodic flute/string sounds, as well as the occasional jitters, stereo spreading, and plucks.

~The second voice is a Mangrove oscillator running on a 4 step sequence by Pressure Points.  It is un-quantized and playing 3 notes very low in the mix, and the occasional detuning sounds are from those notes.

~The third voice is the bass, a Verbos Harmonic Oscillator, with the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th harmonics being modulated by Just Friends.  This creates the pulsing drone effect.  That is going through the Three Sisters filter, which I start to open wide and make self oscillate towards the end of the piece.

At the end of the piece I am mainly interacting with the Three SIsters,  the DLD (to loop the glitchy static like sounds), and giving the Mangrove some FM from one band of the 4ms SMR.

I'm Calm Are You Calm?

It's the bottom of the 9th... let's take home that trophy.  ,,,,,,  Home run!

A Big Victory

My first patch with the Make Noise Morphagene.  Clouds in resonator mode being triggered by Varigate 8+ and being fed a sequence by Tides (note CV from Varigate going to Tides and Clouds 1v/o.  Stereo out from clouds to Morphagene.  Morphagene to K-Mix which adds some reverb.
