Pomme - Pourquoi la mort te fait peur (Crazik Remix)

A live performance for the Make Noise Shared System series. Primary plunk sound is a DPO run through an Optomix. Maths triggers the Optomix in a semi-irregular way. The sound is run through an Echophon, with the feedback out into an Erbe-Verb. The Erbe-Verb channel one is plugged into a Phonogene in "Broken Echo" mode, which is output into the Echophon Feedback input. The Erbe-Verb stereo outputs are the primary outs for this piece.

"Healer" by Thundermachine

https://soundcloud.com/brokensilicon

Patch made with SharedSystem using René for sequencing sync'ed & wave shaped DPO, modDemix for stereo imaging, Optomix for VCA, Maths for all kind of envelopes, clocks etc, Wogglebug for modulation everywhere, Echophon for delay, Phonogene for percussing some 808 sounds grains. All fed into some ValhallaRoom.

"Schulz" by brokensilicon

Anión/Catión - Ionic Bonding. 200 BPM

"An attempt at getting an entire techno track in a single SharedSystem patch. The kick / hat combo is from DPO left oscillator being FM modulated by the middle output of the Wogglebug, multiplied in the ModDemix by a pulsing quarter-note ramp up from the Maths.

One of most interesting questions I find with the SharedSystem is where to derive clock from. Maths? Wogglebug? Echophon clk out? In this patch, I used the Phonogene End Of Slice output as the master pulse. The syncopated slow down part in the middle of this track was done by feeding that same quarter note ramp up from the Maths into the varispeed input of the Phonogene, with the attenuverter turned all the way down to get funky. This produced an amazing feedback-based sort of swing (since the Maths was in turn being triggered by the Phonogene's clock). Hence the title. Anyways, it was my favorite discovery during the patching of this piece. I hope you enjoy it!"

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.
