A small piece which has a certain New Year's Eve and wintery feeling over it with its glistering ang gleaming musical counter-points and bell melodies.

I wish everyone a prosperous New Year filled with good health and love. Thanks for being a supportive fan I truly appreciate it!

Pretorium - "Celestial Gossamer"

Written by Juno Reactor.
Additional instruments, programming and production by Pretorium.


Juno Reactor - "Tempest (Pretorium Remix)"

In this demo I've multi-tracked the Cwejman RG-6.
The initial bassline and melody is the RG-6. Later come's the Synthesis Technology E350 Morphing Terrarium and lastly the Intellijel Cyclebox II. I didn't write down how the sounds where patched, but the RG-6 is running through the Make Noise MMG filter.

So if you turn the "Rate CV Level" full CW you'll have 1V/oct on the "Clock Rate" input. Lovely! And a fun fact is that the Cwejman RG-6 tracks within .10 semi-tones over 4 octaves.

Here's my Nachmahd remix of the fabulous "Afraid" by Delaykliniken.

DELAYKLINIKEN - "Afraid (Nachmahd Remix)"

My contribution to the publicly announced collection of remixes on a Swedish music forum.

State of the Nation - "Departed (Pretorium Remix)"

I've been playing around with Softube Modular for a little bit. I do have a 15U at 84hp custom Eurorack next to me, but this one's a lot easier to bring along.

The first thing I did, as I always do, was to patch a nice little bellish synth sound followed by a dreamy pad. I added them both together and voilá! A lullaby. My sons however fell asleep before it was ready - but they'll get to hear it tomorrow.

Of course I just had to add both B2 and Shimmer.

Message me if you'd like to have the presets I've made for this demo.

Softube Modular Says Hello

Earlier today I was thinking about a neat trick with the Intellijel Planar Eurorack module. I fed the E355's two LFO's phase shifted 180° to make the motion of the joystick resemble a circle. I then connected the two E350 (both XY and Z to fill the four inputs) to the Planar. Added some modulation via the E102 so the E350's were modulated at different times and I also tuned them in fifths. This trick could also be a form of hocketing the two E350's. An E950, modulated of course, was added for extra thickness.

Melody from the Kilpatrick Audio K4815.

E350 Circles

Eurorack 303

Just out of the blue, Softube released the Buchla 259e plugin for their Modular software. The 259e has been one of my favourite Buchla modules for an insanely long time hoping to finally get one for my Eurorack, but eventually ended up getting it for the Modular instead.

It's called "Twisted Waveform Generator" and it's for a good reason. I've tamed it in this demo, and multitracked two instances of Modular. One track is a pad consisting of no less than 4 (!) 259e while the second track is playing a melody with just one. I've called the lead sound "Mighty Cat Lead" because modular synthesisers and cats! Miaw. Just google it!

Lamb - “Butterfly Effect (Polarbears Sthlm Remix)”
(Additional production by David Lilja and Patrik Rydberg)

Hereʼs a list of what weʼve sampled for the remix:
The spring on a microphone stand
A woking pan played with chop sticks
A finger-drummed cardboard box from a MoogerFooger
A glass pitcher hit with a drum stick (thanx Andy!)
A match being lit

The rest are just Eurorack modular, a distorted cello, a tape delayed electric piano and lots, and lots, of processed drones. And distortion.

Time signature:          7/8          (surprise surprise!)

Snap! to the Rhythm

PaleSkinnySwede - Snap! To the Rhythm (303 Day Celebration)

My inspiration comes from Schiller, Ulrich Schnauss and the Pet Shop Boys.
I aim to use the tempo of the original composition, or half, when producing my Pretorium remixes. I'm most often doing 'full vocal' versions and try to treat the track with the respect it deserves.
If your want me to remix your track, drop me a line at david@cutpaste.org. I'm also on twitter.com/pretorium and twitter.com/paleskinnyswede. Say hi ;o)
