The cool filters and envelopes allow for some very electrifying patterns.
Very inspiring.
Sunday Synth Jam: Voltage Controlled Passacaglia, Pages 1 & 2, by Paul Hembree (Premiere)
Performed on the CRuNCh lab 1972 Moog Modular synthesizer, with video projection of an attached oscilloscope.
Executed from a score with parametric envelopes assigned to different performers. Rough synchronization is achieved with stop-watches, and four short sections in the piece (each about a minute long) allow for some controlled improvisation.
Paul Hembree, Chris Rippey, Steve Snowden, and Curtis Peel, performers. Read more…
Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio
Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio: Wormhole Voyage #1
This crystal radio in a jam jar is able to “receive” a moving computer screen-saver, and respond with rich real-time sound effects!
The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio’s sensitive antennas pick up on the RF emanations of the computer screen. The crystal circuit delivers an audio signal to the computer, where the software Audio Hijack Pro increases gain and alters the pitch in real time.
Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio build instructions here.

Happy Halloween!
OrganFairy’s Happy Halloween!
via organfairy:
A while ago I experimented with making some mildly scary music. And I decided to make a little video to go with it. The weird colors that some of the pictures have is a result of using a set of colored filters that I bought many years ago to my old film camera. But I thought they suited the purpose – after all Halloween is a quite colorful and at the same time dark occasion
The music is played on Rhytm Ace drum machine, Yamaha HE-8 organ with CVS-10 expander, Roland JX-8P synthesizer and the little Music Time 300 toy keyboard.
Pure analog sound on the night of Halloween, for the Moog Music Halloween Theremin Contest 2009.

Moon Modular M569 Sequencer Demo
Saturday Synth Porn: This video is a quick demo of the very sexy Moon Modular M569 Step Sequencer.
The M569 is a Moog-style step sequencer, but offering up to 32 positions, arranged in four rows.
Each row can be controlled independent from each other, so that the user has practically up to four separate sequencers at his disposal, each with its own clock- and reset-input jacks, and – at the same time – different running directions (up, down, random and “ping-pong“).

I just couldn’t resist playing around a bit with my new Moon M569 sequencer! It has so much great potential for doing interesting sequencing it’s really exciting!
