AHNE 2009

Free Music Friday:  Matthew Davidson has released the soundtrack to his amazing AHNE 2009 video as a free download:

I had a request to provide the AHNE video music as a download. Here it is. There are three different mixes. The original, as it appears in the video, which is about three minutes long, an extended version at five minutes which was the original length of the video before I decided to edit it down some, and an ambient version, which was the original intent.

You can preview 050209 Ambient Mix below. See Davidson’s Stretta site for all the versions and to learn more about his music!

Matthew Davidson (Stretta) captured this glorious synth porn video at Analogue Heaven Northeast 2009:

Once a year, analog synth enthusiasts gather to socialize and play rare and unusual musical instruments. I captured the May 2009 gathering with a Canon 5DmkII and a 50mm f/1.4 lens. I simply sat the Camera on a tripod, frame the shot as I would a photo, focused and captured.

The music was produced using a Euro-format analog modular, controlled by Volta. Aside from the drums (MOTU BPM), everything was analog.

The quality of the images is just gorgeous. The video not only captures luscious images of an amazing collection of droolworthy gear, but it also highlights Davidson’s visual and compositional talents.

If you like the soundtrack, go check out Davidson’s music.

This synth porn video captures the mind-exploding room full of synthesizers & modulars at AHNE’09.

Better than the gear porn, though, may be the random eavesdropping on conversations.
