Soundgas Tortured Circuits 01 - Type 636 Samples, Beats & Loops

The first release in our new Soundgas Tortured Circuits series: a carefully crafted collection of 139 drum loops, one-shots, and analogue textures created by Tony Miln using the Soundgas Type 636 series and a wide array of exotic and vintage gear*.

This is not clean: it is a deep dive into the filth and noise of vintage circuitry performing at the extremes of their capacity. Raw, saturated sounds born of hands-on live dub mixing, hardware machinery driven hard into tape echo oscillation, feedback into spring reverbs, vintage harmonisers and digital delays, loopers, and vintage analogue processors. 

Expect hiss, hum, grit, and the glorious chaos of real electronics pushed to the edge of oblivion.

“The Soundgas Type 636 is the heart of this pack - but it’s everything else that gets pushed through it that really tells the story.”

Includes:

* Crushed, driven and dubbed drum machine hits & loops
* Saturated, modulated analogue synth sounds
* Noise textures, one-shots, and sonic artefacts
* Created in real time using only hardware 
Processing techniques:
* Live, hands-on dub-style mixing; feedback loops and real-time signal abuse
* Routing and processing through tape echoes, spring reverbs, transistors and valves/tubes
* Real-time manipulation via harmonisers, vintage digital delays, loopers, and more

Key gear* includes:
* Soundgas Type 636 / 636P / 636P2 / 636P-500
* Soundgas RE-2101 and RE-402 Stereo Space Echo
* Roland TR-808

Soundgas Mica Sonic 636P Stereo Space Echo_6

Soundgas Synthi Sounds LP01 - Meandering, Oscillating, Filtering, Looping, Phasing, Drifting...

The first release in our new Soundgas Sounds series: in the tradition of oddball library releases and experimental electronic albums once found in forgotten corners of dusty record shops, this is a long form series of explorations of a much-modifed EMS Synthi A.

Meandering oscillators, filter, spring reverb, stereo tape echo, twin phasers, looping and drifting. Formless explorations. Over an hour's listening across 6 tracks - 24bit 48k.

Whether you enjoy strange electronic odysseys and just want to listen, or are crate-digging to find unusual samples, loops, beds or background music, this is for you.

As usual from Soundgas it's a wild mix of dubbed out and saturated beats, tinklikng synths and ambient washes. Inspirational beats and sounds from techno to rap, house to drum and bass (and plenty of less genre-specific loops and sounds).

This one features the first part of our Soundgas Type 636P together with Beat Friend as well as first look at some sounds from a forthcoming series, Beats & Repeats: a heavy modified 808 through Tony's Dub Station featuring two Stereo Roland Space Echoes and a Soundgas Type 636 spring reverb. Plus lots of out there sounds from sonic wizard, Chris, who went with a Space Theme this month.
