I recreated one of my favourite Aphex Twin prepared piano tracks off Drukqs by layering piano with Physical Audio's Preparation physical modelling synth. It’s the same “Net1” algorithm I used for “Pi” and other pieces of Multiverse, in plug-in form. The evolving and varied “muted prepared string” effect is achieved by applying random velocity in Ableton into my preset “Drukqs Plucks”, which ships with Preparation 2, by way of key and velocity mapping on string stiffness, rattler mass and nonlinearity.  You can get Preparation 2 for a discount by using the promo code GADI for all of August.  I am amazed how far the team has come since these algorithms were server based machine code, it’s basically ray-tracing for sound.

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

The Music Production Academy (The MPA), is a London-based online Music Production School, that aims to teach and provide innovative, useful production techniques for people working with music and sound. Our process and techniques have been finely tuned over three decades of lived studio experience. 

Learn directly through knowledge gained from Producing, Mixing, Engineering, and Mastering sessions for artists such as, Björk, Massive Attack, Depeche Mode and U2 to name a few. We aim to show you the process you haven’t lived yet, sharing with you what it is like to be in the studio with some of the most talented bands and artists in the world.

Along the way explaining what it is like to be in the room for those moments in musical history, teaching you the techniques used to make those records.

The MPA endeavour to foster creativity through engaging and playful experiences. We combine past influences with modern concepts and possibilities, to allow a place for new ways of working and thinking while allowing original ideas to flourish.

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰

Physical Audio® exists to push the boundaries of real-time physical modelling synthesis. We create audio plugins using pure numerical modelling of acoustic systems such as bars, strings, plates and connecting elements. These techniques produce physical models that have real acoustic qualities and dynamic expression, without using any samples or impulse responses.

Dark ambient and experimental music from Hannover, Germany.

When I first listened to electronic music in the 70ies (Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno), i was immediately fascinated by synthesizers and what one can do with them. But I never played one until... I started to experiment with synthesizers in 2011.

My tracks have intentionally no names - so it is open to the listener to imagine titles for them. May i change that in the future? Maybe... Their style is mostly (dark) ambient - soundscapes, drones and weird sounds...

Good ambient triggers a movie in the listener's mind - hope, that my music does so...

Please listen before following!
