An experiment,
with performing 
Johann Sebastian Bach's
Well Tempered Clavier 1 and 2,
on four N.E.D. Synclaviers, 
each set to a different instrument, 
Clavier, Harpsichord, Organ, and Piano. 

I had the idea for this 
about 40 years ago. 

Until now, 
I did not have the necessary tools

Inspired by, and a tribute to 
the brilliance of Wendy Carlos.

Et voila ça faisait longtemps que je regardais le Synclavier et sa synthèse additive. Ce n'est pas tous les jours qu'on met les mains sur un synthé à 200k$. Même si bon c'est la reproduction d'arturia.
J'ai rajouté un peu de vocoder. On ne se refait pas hein ;)
J'espère que vous aurez autant de plaisir à écouter ce titre que j'ai eu à le produire.

KX Studio 20250105 - Syn Keyb

"Choeurs et Psalterion Electriques" is French for "Electric Choirs and Psaltery". A Psaltery is an ancient plucked string instrument. All sounds here are generated by synthesizers. Playing with odd time signatures and random muting of notes for this 15th track for #jamuary2025. Painting with simple elements in layers and chords, with different timbres coming from the modular synth, a piano, a Synclavier, a few other synths along with a variety of effects.

love the dark, sad, experimental and hazy side of things, hypnotic loops and damaged sounds. massive horror geek. not without a sense of humour. partner in crime with Shelley and Loren. all our music on BC is free/pwyc. **if you want to download one of our tracks that isn't on BC just let us know**

if you're questioning why or how i'm able to upload on almost a daily basis, simply put - i have A LOT of time on my hands at this point in my existence, a wealth of music/sounds to draw upon, and a decent collection of software to make things (e.g. both the synth and fx arturia vst collections). i'm not just auto-generating ai pieces ad nauseum, at the same time i have nothing against using ai in the creative process.

one thing i've learned about making at least a little bit of money from streaming my music beyond measley penny scraps, i have to upload frequently and i've been experimenting with reuploading/reposting my tracks for better play counts (for now), if even it only results in cutting costs. and if you're reading this far you're probably checking to see if there's a little human behind the machine, a little soul in the technology... no seriously, i'm only 5ft1, i am NOT tall. 🤣

Canadian Polyglot and polymath living in North Carolina, Francois is Head of Dion Research by day, & artist, maker of instruments & effects, musician, photographer & sound engineer by night.

His interest in music started at a very young age when he studied classical piano and electronics, both of these things would be quite influential on his future work.

He started composing electronic music as a kid in the early 80s and experimenting with sampling on an Apple //e, and would later use the Amiga, Apple IIgs and on the PC, the Gravis Ultrasound wavetable soundcard, and would publish soundbanks for it. Today, most of his music is done without computers, on modular synths and effects built by him, along with some commercial synths and effects.

From 1988 to 1997, he hosted a show on electronic music from its beginning in the early 20th century all the way to modern electronica, and the history of it and the technology that enabled it. He also did a stint at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Videoway / Videotron in Montreal.

In parallel with that, he would continue releasing music through various media, including digital media before MP3 files (through MP2 and ADPCM WAV files on Hyperreal, IUMA etc). In those 30 years to now, he has produced an average of ~1 album (EP or full) a year
