serendipity dumped this cool patch in my lap -- just a Serge synth with very minimal knob tweaking.  To see the knob tweaking: http://youtu.be/YGt_yDEWdMc

all Serge analog synth: self-generating patch

Serge Steppin'

This was a live practice run in the studio with the Serge modular patch I developed my performance at the Serge 40th Reunion in San Francisco.  Dedicated to the genius synthesizer designer, Serge Tcherepnin.

For Serge

I just stumbled onto this amazing Serge feedback patch by Rastko Lazic:
https://vimeo.com/53348028
It is extremely volatile, expressive and wonderous.  This is my humble homage to Rastko's genius -- recorded in a single pass in real time just using three knobs and Rastko's patch

This turned out a bit more Hallowe'en than I was expecting, but given the date, maybe that's OK 😁💀🎃

Saitō Sanki (1900 – 1962) was a dentist who discovered his passion for haiku poetry in his mid-thirties, when his colleagues at the hospital in Soto Kanda convinced him to write a haiku for a collection. Later, he became one of the most important exponents of wartime haiku: he was imprisoned in 1940 during the government’s World War II persecution of controversial artists, and was officially forbidden to write until the end of the war.

This is a vintage recording of an interactive/self-generating patch I created back in the early 1980's. The units are: Serge, JP-8 & Effectron II. I would put the JP-8 arpeggiator in hold mode then play 5 notes which then would cycle randomly.  The Serge controlled the arpeggiator triggering, the JP-8 controlled the varying delays on the Effectron, etc.  It was always fun to enter notes in the morning and see what it sounded like when I came home from work.
