twenty minutes

No, I haven't gone totally mad :-D


I am currently playing around with Vital, the totally free and absolutely amazing wave table synth from Vital Audio

https://vital.audio/

This is something I have quickly knocked up as a sort of SFX experiment.

Vital has a total of eight oscillators and four random sources and I have used those to modulated various parameters, including LFO frequencies.

I did run out of LFO, though... could have done with just one more. I had to add a single automation track in REAPER to alter the Filter 1 Blend Amount.

So, an almost modular style ten minute long fart

I have made this available for free download, and set to CC with some rights reserved, so if you do end up using a part of it then, please, give me a little mention somewhere.

Psi Centauri (a Midinous collaboration)

back in October 2022 I found out about a contest to create a reimagined version of a heavy metal track that was created especially for that contest

so I mentioned in the comments of that video that I wanted to do a twenty minute long ambient version, and the reply came back "do it!"

I downloaded the stems and got down to it, using the provided stems and effects to create what you can hear here

this is the "Radio Mix" at a mere five minutes long

you can listen to the full mix here

https://soundcloud.com/synkrotron/dance-of-the-wicked-mangled-full-mix

it took a while but I really enjoyed the process

sometime in the near future I will create a video outlining my creation process for something like this

I hope you enjoy

cheers

Bohrium is the third track from my upcoming album called Ephemeral

Bohrium is a synthetic Heavy Metal element which has a very short half life, hence "ephemeral"

Sounds in the Ether (radio mix)

TWELVE

FIVE is a minimal piece consisting of two sequencer parts and four drones

Metropolis and Pressure Points (with Brains) are the sequencers used

one drone was created by Elements with the gate held open and playing a low C

another by a Doepfer A-110 standard VCO square wave also tuned to a low C and sent into the Wasp filter with lots of resonance

yet another was a 2HP VCO square wave output this time tuned to G and sent into an Ivo low pass filter

the West Pest tuned to G and hold turned on and the wave fold modulated by its internal LFO was used for the last drone part

the opening sequencer part was made up of six sine waves courtesy of two disting Mk3, two disting Mk4 and two Lorelei VCO and was played by Metropolis

each oscillator was then tuned to the harmonic series for the fundamental and five partials

Oscillator 1 at Fundamental Frequency = C2
Oscillator 2 at Fundamental Frequency x 2
Oscillator 3 at Fundamental Frequency x 3
Oscillator 4 at Fundamental Frequency x 4
Oscillator 5 at Fundamental Frequency x 5
Oscillator 6 at Fundamental Frequency x 6

the fundamental sine was sent directly to a Doepfer A-138 four input mixer and its level controlled there

the five partials were routed to the AJH Triple Cross cross fader module with the balance modulated via LFO and the three outputs sent to the remaining inputs of the A-138 mixer for further balance control

the output of the mixer was sent to an Ivo low pass filter for further sound manipulation

the second sequence was Mavis with the pitch CV provided by Pressure Points and the gate provided by Pam's New Workout set to a Euclidean pattern

the sequencer parts were sent via the aux outputs of the Doepfer performance mixer to a disting C3 ping pong delay algorithm

all tracks were sent through the MPX 500 multi effects unit for reverb

you can see me building up my sine wave patch here

NINE is a piece from my upcoming album called NUMBERS

NINE was performed live and recorded to REAPER using four stereo tracks and one mono track (guitar)

some mixing and EQ was done in post but there are no overdubs

UPDATE!

I have created a video for Idyia and you can watch that here:-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adaptiverb features heavily in this piece.

A bass guitar provides one drone track and guitar provides a second drone track.

Usual noodling over the top.

To be honest, I wasn't sure about uploading this, but here it is, let me know what you think...

Pleione (Ambient Online Compilation Volume 7)

First and foremost, a big thanks must go to John Gilmore (https://johngilmore.bandcamp.com/ and https://soundcloud.com/johngilmorejazz) who provided the original piano samples used to create this collection of works. 

My role! To manipulate each of the four samples used, by extreme stretching (using Paul Stretch) and making use of effects such as Adaptiverb, MGranularMB and Guitar Rig. 

Part Two utilises the following slice from John's samples:-

Why Breathe? Well, to stay alive, of course, but, on a more serious note, I felt that while listening back to this piece, during and after the creation process, the only other thought in my head was my breathing, such was the relaxing nature of the experience. 

I strongly recommend that you listen to John Gilmore's Prelude to the Rain from his album, Au Naturel from which the samples are taken. 

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do...
