Free Music Friday: Electronica artist and music blogger Mark Mosher has released a new album, Reboot, that’s just a little spooky.
Mosher says:
Two years in the making, REBOOT is an album containing 7 richly layered electronica songs that blend contemporary synthesizer sounds with classical music motifs. The end result is dark electronica for those who love synth “ear candy” with a “dirty” industrial edge.
Make sure you check out the track They Walk Among Us. It dives straight into B-movie territory, with its use of theremin, flying saucer sounds and vintage horror sounds. Could be a perfect soundtrack for Halloween.
Mosher has released Reboot with a pay-what-you like model. You can preview the album above or check it out at his Bandcamp site. If you like it, you can download it for free or pay Mosher whatever you like.
Mosher’s suggested price is $6 for the album (7 songs, 22 min. + digital booklet) and $1 for singles. Enter $0 for free download.
Mark Mosher put up a post today celebrating the 4th birthday of his electronic music blog, Modulate This!
According to Mosher, in the last year “the blog experienced non-linear growth in page views and subscribers.”
Non-linear growth is good. And, while I’d like to think the growth is because of “the Synthtopia effect” (server-killing waves of traffic triggered by Synthtopia posts*), it’s really because Mosher has been publishing a lot of interesting stuff.
Check out Mosher’s recent tutorial on step sequence editing in Ableton Live 8:
This is great information, professionally presented. The kind of stuff you’d have to buy a tutorial DVD to get, if it weren’t for people like Mosher.
So, if you haven’t yet, check out out Modulate This! and help Mosher make this the site’s biggest year yet.
* Note: The “server-killing waves of traffic triggered by Synthtopia posts” only actually exist in my imagination.
Electronica artist and music blogger Mark Mosher sends word of a free music download at his site, They Walk Among Us.
Here’s what Mark has to say about the track:
This song has an interesting story. You see - I traveled back in time with my music production laptop and a pile of virtual synthesizers to score a 50’s Sci-Fi B-Movie. “They Walk Among Us” is the result.
Will any humans survive? You’ll have to listen to find out. Extra points if you can tell me the Morse code message in the end of the song.
So If you like theremins, 50’s SCI-FI B-Movies, flying saucer sounds, big beats and ear candy I think you’ll really dig this track. It’s been a lot of fun to put compose and mix – especially the creation of all the special effects.
It’s a fun track that calls out for a music video!

This video, via Mark Mosher of Module This, offers a step-by-step explanation of what HCM synthesis is and how to use it:
Gladiator 1 & 2 are based on a new type of synthesis called Harmonic Content Morphing (HCM). HCM offers a clever way to generate wavetables with a massive variety of harmonic content that can be modified over time. Tone2’s approach with HCM is quite unique so I put together this video which offers a step-by-step explanation of what HCM synthesis is and how to use it. These techniques apply to both Gladiator 1 & 2.
The techniques apply to Tone2 Gladiator 1 & 2.
Excellent material from Mosher, as usual and an interesting look at Harmonic Content Morphing.

This is a nice demo video, via Mark Mosher, on how to use the new step-sequencer functionality in Ableton Live 8.
The video illustrates how to use step-sequencing for both drum and melodic tracks.
