Patching.

Patching.

While my album is still in the works, here is a brand new EP featuring songs I wrote for a play together with Christoph Rinke.

Modular synthesizer tones, an imaginary language and a solitary voice sound out a messy ritual.

Its pay-what-you-want-minimum-an-email-adress. Let me know what you think about it!

Sshould you be in Bremen, we will be performing these tunes until July.

~ Orestie - Herte Lev, Herte Grav - Christoph Rinke -

Here is an acoustic invite to “Orestie”, opening at Theater Bremen 17.05.2012. I’ll be on stage performing songs like this with Christoph Rinke that fit the mood of the play. There will be blood.

~ HSS3J Jagger -

Here are the first minutes I spent with the HSS3J audio/video synth. I patched it up with a modular synthesizer, so the bassdrum and some squeals you hear are from a Metasonix R54. The HSS3J rocks, especially because its built so well.

~ TipTip 808 vs Metasonix R54 -

For my music-making-patch-creating-readers, a demo of the TipTop Audio TR808 bassdrum trough a Metasonix R54 Tube Supermodule. Watch you ears on this one, it gets nasty at one point. I made this in response to a thread by Jimmy Edgar on Muffwiggler forum.

I am burning with desire.

~ Kids and Flashlights -

A live jam with one layer of acoustic guitar added. Recorded in Berlin-Neukölln during the days of kids with fireworks vs. police cars in between the years.

~ TipTop BD808 -

This is what the TipTop Audio BD808 Eurorack module can sound like.

First on its own, then through a Malekko VCA at full exponential, then through a Cwejman DMF-2 with no filtering engaged, but hitting saturation.

In each pass I slowly turn up first TONE then DECAY. First note has accent cv.

Recorded straight into a Fireface 400. If you click “download” you can hear it in full .aif glory, without the compression artifacts.

Adding some classic Roland TR-808 bass drum capability to my modular with a TipTop Audio 808 module. Something less to think about when patching live.

~ Pittsburgh Generator - Water to Cowbell -

We need more cowbell, modular style.

Patching a Makenoise Maths envelope to the exponential input of a Pittsburgh Modular Generator and slowly adjusting the rise time turns waterdrops into a cowbell.

Also involved is a Doepfer spring reverb, a Makenoise Optimix LPG and a Cwejman DMF-2 Filter.
