Adam Pacione is a composer and sound designer from Texas. 

Pacione’s music contains elements of ambient textures, drones, field recordings, processed radio transmissions and modular synthesis for your own personal soundtrack. Music influences include 1980’s 4AD, Creation Records, 50’s & 60’s soundtracks, library music and early electronic music pioneers.

Pacione has been involved in the arts since childhood and moved into graphic design and photography in the late 1980’s. Art influences include a long standing obsession with anything related to 23 Envelope’s Nigel Grierson and Vaughan Oliver. Pacione began to experiment with sound manipulation in the mid to late 90’s with nothing more than a Quadraverb effects unit, Yamaha synth and a 4 track recorder that was literally held together by rubber bands. Pacione has since moved on to combining modular synthesis with field and micro recordings.

His recordings have been released by Elevator Bath, Infraction Records, Audretsch, Kesh, Bee Eater Recordings, 23five, Second Sun Recordings and Primary Records. Stand out releases include SISYPHUS (Elevator Bath), FROM STILLS TO MOTION (Infraction), THE STILL LIFE SERIES (Bee Eater), With Wakened Eyes (Primary), and DOBRANOC (Elevator Bath). He has provided remixes for the likes of Simon Scott (Slowdive), Machinefabriek (Rutger Zuydervelt), and Milieu (Brian Grainger). He creates all artwork for his releases.

Hello all!  This page will serve as a creative forum for users to showcase their compositions with the instrument in order to create a dialog of knowledge and inspiration amongst Shared System users and the world at large.

We started the Shared System Series back in 2012 in order for us to showcase the works of several artists using the same musical instrument, composed live with no multitracking, midi sequencing, or external effects. In this way, the series hopes to capture an artist’s raw compositional and emotional intent, while working outside the confines and comforts of digital automation and modern editing techniques.

If you would like to participate, please create a piece of your own that adheres to the same guidelines of the original series (please see full submission framework below). If you don’t have access to the Make Noise Shared System, that’s ok too, so long as your work is composed only using the modules within a single Shared System. When we released the first five records, the Erbe-Verb didn’t exist, so we allowed the artist to use the reverb of their choosing. Of course we hope you’ll choose an Erbe-Verb!

By submitting, you’d be allowing us to host your work; however, you would still maintain all creative rights. We also ask that your piece be unreleased and exclusive for a period of 90 days. After that, you may use and distribute your composition as you like. Should any issues come up after your content has been posted, please contact us and we’ll work to correct the situation in order to meet your needs.

As the Shared System Series is equally about sharing knowledge, inspiration, and system familiarity, we would also like to ask for either a photo of a patch diagram or a Modular Grid link in order to illustrate your unique approach to synthesis. Please feel free to continue the conversation with any other information you’d like to share!

Shared System Framework:

1. You must have access to the Make Noise Shared System or restrict your composition to using only the modules within a single Shared System.

2. Your recordings must be solely composed on the Shared System (no other modules, FX*, instruments, programs, etc may be used to compose your music. The point of the Series is to emphasize the gamut of capabilities within a single instrument as used across a wide variety of artists and musicians)
*external reverb is acceptable.

3. Your piece must be recorded live to stereo 2-track (no multi-tracking or post-production).

4. You piece mustn't exceed 10 minutes (if you have a piece that is longer and would still like to use it, please select your favorite 10 minutes).

5. Submissions should be made through SoundCloud via a private link with downloading enabled and we'll take care of the uploading. We only wish to serve as a host for these pieces and relinquish all creative rights to the artist. We ask that any submissions made be material that is otherwise unreleased and exclusive, and that it remains so for 90 days after it is posted. Beyond that point you are free to use it however you wish and change the track to public. If there is any complication with having your material online after a submission is posted, please contact us and we will act promptly to meet your needs.

6. Please include either a patch sheet diagram or a Modular Grid link.

7. Please include links back to your artist webpage, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SoundCloud, Bandcamp and/or anything else relevant to your art.

The more info the better! This is an opportunity to express your personal compositional style and process through a shared medium! Help us paint a unique and diverse sonic mural that highlights the endlessly versatile nature of the Shared System.
