AcidRoom [Live - Zurich]

Orgist

Watch on YT for all the patching and knob fiddling.
https://youtu.be/L4jA0x-jnEo

Jam from scratch, as in: Everything is unpatched by the time I start the jam, no sequencers running or even connected to a shared clock, and all oscillators on init settings.

...and then I build the track during the 5 minutes of the jam from that 🥰

This was a very very fun challenge by the Hardware Jams FB group!

Industrial Jam from Scratch

No 9oh9

My reach is limited.
No motive left to want it.

The thought sounds sweet –
to find a path
that holds,
that holds me.

Tired after sleep.
From the very first moment,
unable to expand.

Crystal Sand

This is the first track I recorded with the Eventide Timefactor in my setup. Love the stereo effect of the dual delay.

Ambient Gone Wrong

Head spins –
day thoughts circle.

No light.
No sign.

Sleep forced in.
Unrest.
No release.

Night throws
dark debris.

Shake it off –
in sound.
Dark debris,
my noise.

Dark Trash

A path breaks off the line,
strays past others,
resistance snaps,
the gaze opens.

No return.
Another way, another beat.
Unasked, unintended,
yet with full force.

Dragged off course.
No more linear.
Step in the strike,
strike in the step.

Where To Stay

I kept getting asked this question. "How does the Edge compare to the DFAM?" — had to answer them, right?

(And trolls kept saying "ah the Edge just sounds worse than the DFAM"...)

This doesn't actually pitch them against each other. Instead, it shows that they're indistinguishable in a track. By making them collaborate in a way that is almost entirely opaque to you, where they share sounds.

Oh. This also happens to be a percussion only jam. I've made a 3 minutes radio edit for this month's RedMeansRecording  challenge, which was:

"ONLY PERCUSSION — Make something using only drums and percussion instruments, synthesized or natural, pitched or atonal."

Edge vs. DFAM Jam - Radio Edit

Death Walk

G3NOT /ˈdʒiːnɑːt/
You read the name. But do you hear it?
I'm not here to fit in - I'm here to short-circuit your algorithm.
Noise with a grin. Silence with intent.
G3NOT: The glitch you can't debug.

/breɪk/

This isn't music - it's sabotage in stereo.
Smile. It's not a mask.
G3NOT - your skip button's existential crisis.

/breɪk/
I am a Klangfurtoniker.
Not a musician. Not a therapist. Not a performer.

I shape moods,
not because they are beautiful,
but because they exist.

I take the moment,
fold it like a piece of paper –
audible.
tangible.
I shape it into a frequency
that fits me.

Not perfect.
Not pleasant.
But real.

The heartbeat as bass,
my breath as a pad,
my smile as a subtle glitch.
And within it all –
a Joker.
Laughing inside me,
because I found the tone
in which I can bear myself.

I don’t project outward.
I let the inside become audible.

I am my own space,
my own speaker,
my own echo.

I am a Klangfurtoniker.
I hear myself –
and keep shaping.

/breɪk/

Electronic. Rough. Probably still far from finished – but who says you have to start quietly?
I make music for myself. And share it, because silence isn’t always the better choice.
Just a beginning. In waves and noises.
