Description: Found a piece of grid paper with an Amstrad CPC464 sound program written by Craig Tollis in the early 80's for manually triggering the Yamaha sound generators by pushing down keys on the qwerty keyboard. Typed it in and ran under the APE emulator and played along for bit in Cubase. Cubase was unimpressed about having an emulator running in the background and crashed several times.

Here's a section of a jam session https://soundcloud.com/seanleonard & I had this evening. 

I was messing around with his modular rig + my Mother 32 & Makenoise 0-Coast whilst he was playing a Nord Stage & Dave Smith Instruments - Prophet 6 over it (guy is a BEAST of a keyboardist).

This was the most fun I've had with live music performance in quite a while. 

I've realised over the past 18 months or so that ALL live musical performances are conditional. Some are more conditional than others. In most cases, musical performances adhere to a coherent tempo, key, vibe, feel/swing/groove & motif, and I feel that's important. You need to be coherent with other players for the end result to have any sort of real impact or weight in it's emotional conveyance. So over this past 18 months I've been trying to find a nice balance between coherency/end-result & emotional/ musical expression - I feel like this is the closest I've come to that so far.

More soon...

Mr. Bill & Sean Leonard - Modular Jam

​Matrixxman delivers the third release on Henning Baer's @manhighrecordings with his ‘Deep Mind’ EP, featuring a relentlessly hypnotizing title track consisting of a dark dancefloor-focused motif.

Berlin based by way of San Francisco, Matrixxman’s career has been steadily picking up steam over the past five years. He’s cemented his place as one of the leading figures in the global techno circuit due to quality releases on Dekmantel and Ghostly International, with his standout album ‘Homesick’ arriving on the latter imprint in 2015.

With ‘Deep Mind’ Matrixxman lets his raw and driving essence shine through, as the track builds with metallic textures, enveloping atmospherics and pumping rhythm. This is heads-down techno for long nights and early mornings caught in the dance, a distinct essence which Matrixxman has become known for.

Matrixxman’s ‘Deep Mind’ EP, which also includes two more originals and a remix from veteran German producer Gonar, is set for release May 15.
