Bourdain

A vibrant journey of experimental techno with unexpected twists and turns, featuring thumping kicks and warm-soulful vocals breaking into a ‘catchy’ acid-style breakdown.

A Walk in the Park

A quickly arrived at set of patches on the Make Noise O-coast to suggest the setup was a "Walk in the Park" experience to get O-coast to do most of the work in drone mode, create the breathy bass while I turn knobs and press slope on and off. Another effort was to explore the use of the balance CV (Balnc input) use of control voltages "to modulate the Balance between Fundamental and Overtone that is sent to the Dynamics circuit." (as mentioned in the O-coast manual)

O-coast settings:

triangle to overtone
random to linfm
gate to balnc input
mixer chnl-2 out to dynamic 
1V/Oct to DCY
mltpl to slope

Turned the overtone large knob
Turned the multiply large knob
Turned slope cycle on and off

O-coast knobs 
(set at clock positions starting 
from 7 o'clock - all the way to the left)

Pitch set to 10 oclock
LinFM to 2 o'clock
Rise to 12 o'clock
Fall to 12 o'clock
Log to line at 1030 o'clock
Sustain to 230 o'clock
Onset to 1150 o'clock
Decay to 12 o'clock
exp to 1145 o'clock
balance knob to 12 o'clock
(turned this to just past right line and back)


Bandlab effects:
Feedback Killer
Spring Reverb UK
Dimension B Chorus preset 04
BL1176 Compressor ratio 12:1

Post processing:
Adjustments to 7-band EQ to smooth transition to slope on and off, to cause a better layered slope sound both long and short, make the cough/popping sounds more even in length and less interruptive, and increase overall dynamics. The cough/pop sounds are done by the O-coast - and ok to be there. The EQ allows for those wishing to add more dynamics with their gear. 

Setup
O-coast to passive mixer to Baslt Dude Mixer to 
mic/line input on USB Audio Adapter to 
Chromebook to Bandlab Guitar input. 

Dude gain setting just past half
Passive mixer 4 channels at 1/4s setting
and output at 1/4 setting 
(this worked great for overall sound on 
Bandlab.)

A Walk in the Park

It won't do the dishes and it won't feed the fishes, but for everything else there's PANG!

It won’t mop the floors, and it won’t lock the doors, but for everything else there's PANG!

It can’t wax your legs, and it can’t boil an egg, but for everything else there's PANG!

It can’t glib your globbles and it won't strewb your flobbles but for everything else there's PANG!

Made by PANG, Berlin/Reykjavik
ULTRA 1 remixed by @Naco, Kyoto
Mastered by Dominic Clare @ Declared Sound, Leeds
Design by PLANETLUKE.COM aka Luca Lozano, Sheffield

Dr.Nojoke - Berlin Gamelan #6

New experimental minimal techno artist with dark vibes.
 I have been in the music scene as a music theory student and bassist for over 20 years but my love for all things bass has led me to electric music.

I like to blend American roots into the techno world such as Funk, Blues, jazz, and Americana. 
I am also a huge horror fan and love to add horror vibes to my music as well

Info:
Dr. Nojoke is a producer, performer and musician– his live sets continually bring new and unique sounds to the table, a combination of field-recordings, self-made sounds, and highly conceptual production that redefine the way we understand electronic music.
A Berlin native and leader in directional minimal techno (or “clikno” as he describes it), Dr. Nojoke is a master of rethinking ordinary musicality and procuring new uses for the everyday.

Dr.Nojoke´s live show may feature instruments such as radio, crushed plastic bottles and souvenirs as Dr.Nojoke celebrates the joy of finding special sounds in everyday objects not usually appreciated for their musicality.

Since 2005 performances in clubs and on festivals in Brazil, South Africa, Canada, Sweden, UK, Italy, Russia, USA, Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Moldova, Slovenia, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Spain, Portugal, France and throughout Germany.

More than 100 releases (EPs/albums/remixes/contributions) on labels such as CLIKNO, Goldmin Music, Destroy All Monsters, Sleep is Commercial, Klangscheiben, Archipel, UNOIKI, Pluie/Noir, Minim.all, Autist, Eintakt, Resopal ...

Demos and spare parts to failed.units.corp@gmail.com

Currently, I listen to tons of techno, trance and EDM. I grew up tho with 60s and 70s rock and jazz fusion. I took piano for five years. My dad played piano, accordian, xylophone, bongos and little bit of guitar. Mom was an oil and acrylic artist. In college I practiced piano in the listening rooms and hung out in the music degree buildings and went to bunches of concerts in the SF Bay Area. 

In 2018 I landed a writing gig with DJD UK Global Music and wrote 74 listener reviews of songs for their artists. The label owner later retired after a long career in music production and marketing and closed his label.

I released my debut digital album on the DJD UK Global Music label in March 2019 called "Off Grid Analog", 13 tracks, 48:05 minutes of experimental/electronic/noise original music available for just a year on all major online outlets.  It was fun working with a label and to create an album. 

In the past I've created music on a Korg Poly-61, Korg X-50 and an Alesis Micron and mixed on a Mackie 1402-VLZ3 14-channel mixer. Today I've been creating electronic, experimental and noise music with a Teenage Engineering PO-28 Robot Pocket Operator, Stylophone Gen X-1 Analog Synthesizer, Bastl Kastle 1.5 Synth,  Meeblip Geode Synth, Alesis Q25 Controller, Kieth McMillen QuNexus USB MIDI CV Gate Controller, Alesis Micron Synth, Rucci 8-bit Power Synth, Rucci Maximal Drone, Rucci 16-step CV Sequencer,  Moffenzeef Modular MSG II Black, Stylophone Gen R8 Synth, Bastl Dude Mixer, Korg Volca FM Synth, Make Noise O-Coast Synth, Korg Monotron Delay Synth, Korg NTS-1 Synth Benidub Filtro, etc. I got away from melodic pieces to explore music and to dabbble in electroncic, experimental, noise, drone and experimental techno, ambient, trance styles.

My home studio includes m-Audio BX5 powered monitors and use of Beyerdynamic studio headphones, Sony and Beats phones. I use a Chromebook and the cloud-based in-browser Bandlab DAW and I do my own mastering. I use both a Baslt Dude Mixer and the Behringer Xenyx 1002B 10-chnl mixer. I use Mogami cables, Roland Gold MIDI cable, CV cables, iConnectivity MIDI to USB cable. I use a Boomstick Psychoacoustic DAC for added richness of dynamics. Final signal path output goes through the USB audio adapter into my Chromebook.  I rarely do multitrack preferring a straight signal path from one device to the next till final put goes through a mixer to the audio adapter into the Chromebook. 

I'm active on synth and music groups on Facebook under my name:
John Koudela III.  My music name tho is jtechno on Soundcloud. 

I'm located north of Seattle, WA. Contact me at:  jtechnoelectronicmusic@yahoo.com
