The 100th episode of MoShang's Live Online Podcast - a series of live-mixed chillout sets recorded in Second Life. It features original material, along with live-played midi wind controller licks.

MLO#100: Milestone

Realistic (Monumental Mix)

My Eurorack build is at the point where I can start to do things with it, and so the obligatory modular noodle. The Doepfer Dark Energy is playing a MIDI sequence from the TB2. The audio is fed into two Synthrotek Echo modules, one processing the left output, and the other the right. The echo rate of the right module is modulated by an LFO.

What Comes Around is a self-remixing album by Taiwan-based sound-jeweler MoShang. It exists solely as an App for Android smartphones and is now available in the Android Market. The <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=ms.stonebell.WhatComesAround" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">full version</a> of the album has a running time of roughly an hour, and features 14 tracks that are dynamically remixed every time the album is played. Quite literally, the album will never play through twice in exactly the same way. The listener also has the option to "let the world in" by turning up the cellphone microphone. Allowing the app to mix in environmental sounds further ensures that each repeated listen is a unique and personalized experience. The <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=ms.stonebell.WhatComesAroundFree" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">free version</a> of the album comprises 5 tracks from the full version and has a more limited remixing sound-set.
This recording of the free version of What Comes Around will be updated on a weekly basis with a new iteration, featuring different listening environments. In the first iteration, MoShang takes a walk through his immediate environment in Taichung, Taiwan. You'll be hearing scooter and car traffic, occasional voices, ghostly fragments of songs from store pa's, the barking of a neighborhood dog...
For those of a technical bent, the musical elements were created and prepared in Reason 6, Sonar X1, and Live 8. The remixing algorithm was written in Pure Data and brought to the Android OS using Chris McCormick's PdDroidParty (via Peter Brinkmann's libPd).

MoShang Live Online #10

MoShang - Underbrush [Single Teaser]

I uploaded this to YouTube a while back, but totally missed that there was a Mutable group on SoundCloud. All Shruthi-1 (presets).

Ode To Shruthi-1

This track was originally intended for MoShang & Bailey's "Suncake Lounge Vol.2" but ended up on the cutting room floor. 

MoShang & Bailey - Swing

Another bouncy synthpop tune made entirely with the kit-built Shruthi-1 by Mutable Instruments. This Shruthi-1 features the 4-Pole Mission filter board. All patches are Shruthi-1 presets - I've added eq, reverb and delay to taste. 

Antarctica - a Shruthi-1 4-Pole Mission Demo

Another track that didn't make the cut for Suncake Lounge Vol.2 - it's nice enough, but stylistically it doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the album. Also not nearly enough Bailey on this one!

MoShang & Bailey - A Minute

This is a Live mix incorporating sound-bites collected at The Big Question conference in Taipei (Nov. 15th, 2008) - I went around before the show asking random audience members for short sound-bites to use in the mix.

The Big Question - CrowdSourced Mix

A comparison of three wave playback shields for the Arduino platform. You'll hear 5 loops played three times - for each loop the order is:

1) Adafruit Wave Shield (WS) - mono, 22kHz, 16bit http://www.adafruit.com/products/94 
2) Rugged Audio Shield (RAS) - stereo, 44.1kHz, 16bit http://ruggedcircuits.com/html/rugged_audio_shield.html 
3) Majenko WavePro Shield (WPS) - stereo, 44.1 kHz, 16bit http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,125474.0.html

PLEASE NOTE while the WS and RAS are as bought, the Wavepro shield is currently still in development and is running beta firmware here.

UPDATED on 2012-11-02 with a 10k-resistor mod that eliminates distortion on loud peaks
