inspiring... I will now go upstairs and ping the crap out of my QMMF-4

@breadyscarethrough (Mause) makes his debut release on npm with a stunning 4 track EP entitled ‘XOR’.
Starting with ‘LocriLogAcid Seq’ serving up soothing melodies that make you want to drift away on the dance-floor. ‘SeqTuningMlog Acid1’ proves that Mause isn’t averse to switching up tempos and beats with a powerful, trippy acid induced journey.
The cleverly structured ambient and melodically complex ‘Strimsang [Baecon4]’is reminiscent of early Aphex Twin with pure electronic bliss whilst ‘Sunday Multi Acid Seq20d’ is a strong finish to the EP delving deeper within the realms of electro and acid techno.

Marie Wilhelmine Anders - Frozen Music (Album) [brq148]

Here I delved deep into the background and the genesis of each individual track of the album:
Read here: https://www.magneticmag.com/2023/11/the-directors-cut-marie-wllhelmien-anders-frozen-music-broque-music/

Marie Wilhelmine Anders’ new, multi-genre concept album “Frozen Music” follows up on her albums “Travels” (Broque) and “She’s Leaving” (Noisy Meditation). Being her fifth album, which refers to the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson, "Frozen Music" also evolves around another main source if inspiration that is drum ’n’ bass: Sunchase (who mastered „Frozen Music“ superbly), dBridge, Calibre, Krust, Goldie (Mother!), Optical, T.Power, LTJ Bukem, Banaczech, are just a few of her main influences. While searching for the connecting elements between the poem template from the late 19th century and the time when d’n’b was created 100 years later, she found the sound of the foghorn, invented in the year Stevenson was born. The foghorn was first installed in Jamaican sound systems in the 1950s, and it created an unexpected power in the bass range, and from there found its way into the raves and d’n’b productions of the children of the "Windrush" generation in the UK. The second connecting element Marie found was the music of Claude Debussy: his "liquid works" (David Toop) - influenced by the music of Java, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan - in turn influenced the later generation of ambient music producers. The chord progressions from his "Prelude" from "Pour Le Piano" reappear in a stretched and filtered form in Marie’s ambient intro track "Prelude" and in a few other places in "Frozen Music“. The nine tracks of "Frozen Music" find their very own form in the atmospheric recreation of the pictorial language of Stevenson's poem "Evensong" and in its relationship to some of the most fascinating genres in electronic music. Being a classically trained composer Marie juxtaposes ambient, breaks, d’n’b and techno. She approaches the boundaries of genres with a kind of innocence, always listening to the connections between the different styles. In “Frozen Music” she picks up on these connections. This works so well because the musical forms often don't adhere to what you would deem traditional structure. Dynamic quality, form, sound design and, last but not least, the mix of her music are all the more carefully coordinated and result in a catchy flow that makes „Frozen Music“ another masterpiece, that not only brings food for thought, but, most importantly, transports the grooving d’n’b sound of the 90’s onto the contemporary stage.

Cassette Method - Cassette Mechanism One

Having set up the Cwejman RES-4 and QMMF-4 for AB-testing the resonance modes I couldn't help but also record some wiggling. 

Here's the patch info:

Pamela's Workout is the clock master, the Turning Machine (extended) creates the rhythm. The outputs of the Turning Machine ping the Cwejman RES-4 and Cwejman QMMF-4 (in BP res mode). Both are tuned to fifths. 

A Klee sequencer modulates the fifths of the QMMF-4. A Modcan Quad LFO modulates the frequency bands on both RES-4 and QMMF-4. This is causing the modulation you hear in-between the 'theme' .

One of the outputs on the Pamela pings a Cwejman MMF-1 and creates the ostinato woodblock that comes in and out

Two outputs on the Turning Machine trigger a bass-drum and high-hat on a MI Peaks.

Everything is recorded in one take, there is no multi-tracking. The levels between the layers are done on the fly on two MX-4S's. A D-LFO and PH4 are auto-panning the RES-4, QMMF-4 and high-hat.

The only thing I've done afterwards is edit the rather long excerpts into something potentially slightly less boring.

Handstitched* is happy to announce a new split-artist EP (hs53) is by two consistent artists and friends of Handstitched* - Darren Harper & Ümlaut, both well-known and respected within musical spheres and both have released music on an amazing array of well-respected labels over the years.

Darren Harper - "Generational Drift - A seasonal reflection in four movements" wanders through a tactile and circular movement of explorations and minimalistic patterns of generative structures, each arrangement allows itself to occupy its own space within the theme, and variations evolve with harmonious and unrestricted woven textures, subtly offering an openness and tranquillity. "Generational Drift" is a long-form piece that is a sonic tapestry of evolving beauty and internal perceptions.

Ümlaut - "The Celestial Sphere" in contrast to Darren Harpers' work is fractured, short-formed pieces adjoining each other with a disjointed tension, sometimes off-kilter but always focused with a thought-provoking structure. Ümlaut navigates his way through contrasting and conflicting elements and carries the listener through a maze of articulations and random jazz-infused electronic segments, choosing to avoiding traditional form and creating something uniquely dynamic and engaging, all wrapped-up inside a sonic cosmos.

Issued on dual-format, limited edition tape and mini double CD featuring individually hand-bound and hand-cut collage CD wallets made from vintage materials and papers, a special print edition of five x ten designs for the [tape] O-cards to house the c45 cassettes. Each CD copy is hand-numbered and packed inside glassine bags, tape copies are packed inside a clear eco bag.
