You’ve somehow managed to make the sounds of my brain malfunctioning on deemz. Incredible

coming back to this reminds me of the master of sound design that you are

do something. all them/these likes for this. you and them are mental. 🤣🌏🌍🌎

Grrrrrrrrrrimy (or, The Impossible Thought)

The sequence starts with a cable connection to the clock output from the Steady State Fate Ultra Random module. This clock output was sent to an intellijel hub mult. From here the clock was sent to first to a 4ms RCD/QCD, Delptronics Trigger Man, and to the MakeNoise Rene. First output gates from 4ms RCD 4 divide output to the trigger input on the Braids module top row, running in "WLIN" mode. The second multi-output was sent to a 4ms QCD output green channel 4, set at a division trigger time of 16. This would trigger single notes on the "Elements" module, that begins at 1:42. The playback mode is running in "Secret Easter Egg Mode" :-) The selected note sequence from the QCV output from Rene. The final output from Elements was sent to the Eventide "Pitch" pedal using the "Crystalizer" algorithm.

Clouds - was processing recorded chunks from the drum percussion, kick used from the top row "Peaks" 808 kick drum synthesis model. Then a snare was created from the "grey" noise output from the SSF Quantum rainbow running through the right side of Streams to make a snare drum, which was running in envelope mode with shape position to the left, short decay. Then a third voice uses the blue noise output from the SSF quantum rainbow for hi-hats. Amplitude triggered/controlled by a HexVCA. The drum sequence was programmed from the Delptronics Triggerman, using all 8 patterns stringed together running in pattern play mode but being CV controlled by the S&H # 1 output from the SSF Ultra Random. Output for all voices was grouped and multiplied into two separate mixers. First three channels of the Intellijel Mutamix, which was then sent to output channel B. From there the summed mix was sent into the "left" side input of Clouds. Then triggered in time with the sequence by an 8th division trigger from the 4ms RCD. The freeze input in Clouds was triggered in time 7th divisions from the 4ms RCD, so that the chunks would process and record then playback in spurts of timed randomness. The mode was set in the pitch-shifter/time stretcher configuration, where the grains were spliced so that created interesting granular pitching repeats and percussive glitch effects, as the rhythmic beats played through. Focused ranges were selected for the "Density/Pitchshifter" and "Timestetcher/Texture" controls. These were being controlled by the S&H #2 output from the SSF Ultra Random. The 1/volt pitch input was controlled by the toggle A/B output from the SSF ultra random. The clean drum outputs were also sent to channels 5, 6, and 7 on the Blue Lantern "Mix 'Em Up" module.

Streams left side processing from the MakeNoise Mysteron output, which was being triggered by the 5th division output, for the metallic ripple delay like sounds, with the mutation knob set to counter-clockwise, low bit mode.
The "Shelves" module was processing the acid-like filter parts that get un-muted at 12 seconds. The sound source running into "Shelves" was the "Braids" module bottom row, running in "CSAW" mode. CV controlled by the CV output from the MakeNoise Rene sent to another intellijel hub mult. From here each CV output was sent to the "Frequency" inputs pink, green, and white jacks on "Shelves". The "Tides" high tide output modulation the CV controlling the top frequency input on "Shelves" Each filter knob was set so the incoming "CSAW" input was being processed like a formant filter effect.

Smooth Sub OSC bassline coming from the MakeNoise STO. This was being CV controlled by an intellijel ￼µScale (B) output. Playing back 8 notes while being triggered from the 2nd division trigger on the 4ms RCD. Triangle wave output from an Intellijel Dixie (synced) to the sequence controlling the input (1V/Oct). Second STO at 55 seconds, alternating high note triggers from the 1 channel output from the 4ms QCD 6th division output. The second STO output was sent to a MakeNoise Optomix for short quick plucks.

I am very excited to announce I am releasing a new track called "Recursion Constructors". This piece was a commission for the University of Huddersfield. A 12-minute mind-bending Electroacoustic journey driven by a customized MakeNoise modular system and various objects, that utilized the FluCoMa toolset.

About :
The album is about life and chaos being the same thing, the quantification of ones experience and the infinite exploration of the possibilities of the others. A process labeled random when singular yet deterministic as a whole. This is a journey lived by you trough me as an observer of the time line assigned to us.

SERA023: Satellite Era presents “Aetherial Pulses EP” - a futuristic sound collage by Mhamed Mansouri, best known as @disektor.

Wrapping up our most active year at the Satellite Era HQ finds us taking a glimpse into what is to come. With 2025 looking to be even busier, we call upon an old friend to guide us into the unknown by setting a strong sonic precedent, while still paying homage to the formative style of our vast audio museum.

Over two years since his label debut on our acclaimed Distant Arrays series, we welcome back Moroccan based producer, sound designer, programmer, and visual artist. He first landed on our radar as a standout in SoundCloud’s experimental niche back in early 2020, the same year as our imprint’s conception. Complementing his production are interactive live performances that utilize creative coding, which generate varied results with each passthrough and are repurposed back into his workstation - a feedback loop tested for success. Founder of Geometric Corruption, the collective works in tandem with us and our friends at glitch.cool to tend to the international community, bringing together experimental electronic enthusiasts from around the world. Rather than conforming to a set approach, he builds on the high-fidelity hyperglitch subculture with a twist of his own - songs that feel more musical and intricate overall. This attribute has ultimately led him to his next offering to the consumers of computer music.

“Aetherial Pulses EP” finds Disektor teetering between digitized realms & the natural world, taking the form of a sonic poem that exhibits glitched maximalism & melodic tones alike. The project still delivers stuttering drum patterns meant to engulf the listener, but also paints the rest of the stereo with a coating of lush ambiance. The project begins with “Reflections,” a mellow entry with a grueling bassline that progresses into a preview of the complexity ahead. The title track serves its purpose as a clear summary of the EP, while heightening the energy with vocal chops that feel almost psychedelic at times. The pulsating synths really begin to take form in “Lush Deviation,” a middle-ground between heavy low-end presence and percussion riding higher frequencies. “Emergence In Motion” recruits frequent collaborator Tenebral Cortex to deliver a seven-minute cinematic experience of its own, which feels like a separate story within the entire narrative. “Waves” is a formidable end to the project, with an eerie yet beautiful piano melody in the outro that leaves it open-ended.

Although “Aetherial Pulses EP” is only Disektor’s second-ever extended play, the project is easily his best and most emotive work yet - a stepping stone for what is next on his musical agenda. The undertones speak of finding senses of tranquility in the decaying Earth around us however we can. It perfectly contributes to our DNA as servants of the experimental intersection and delivers a memorable, sometimes challenging journey.

So after 2 crashes and 6 hours of work down the drain, I've finally finished this one. The second crash almost made me give up, but then as a bit of a 'fuck you' to ultra unstable adobe audition 3, I took the corrupted recovery file and mashed some of it into the track...which made me feel loads better.
Anyway it's probably one of my longest tracks to date (in both track length and time to make) so let's just hope it's been worth it....
If you want the full binaural effect, listen on headphones.

Pre-order is open and the first track preview of my new EP Systik is now live! 

https://richarddevine.bandcamp.com/

BL_K Noise is proud to announce that Richard Devine - Systik will be released November 11 with pre-orders starting today. Systik is comprised of four acid tracks produced, performed live, and mastered by Richard, not originally intended to be released. Richard debuted his acid set at BL_K Noise in Los Angeles in January 2020 with the original goal of crafting and performing it throughout the rest of the year - but, as we all know, this year had different plans for us. Sinscur, the ever-evolving fractured acid track is available to stream and download on Bandcamp now.

Richard Devine’s influences, inspiration, and roots come from many sources - and this release is a homage paid to classic acid albums that inspired him in his early career but with a more modern approach and arsenal.

Every purchase in the pre-order period is entered to win a set of HEDDphones by Hedd (Heinz Electrodynamic Designs) valued at $1,899. A winner will be announced on November 11th. 

The artwork and all visual assets were created by Simona Noreik. The physical presentation was under the guidance of BL_K Noise.
