WireToTheEar’s Oliver Chesler, aka The Horrorist, brought this to my attention: Liubo Borissov’s video interface for Ableton Live 8, based on a webcam and Max 4 Live.

Nice! Oliver Chesler, of the WireToTheEar blog, has published an interview with Klaus Suessmuth of Acidlab.

Acidlab is a boutique electronic music gear maker that’s created nice clones of the Roland TB303 & Roland TR808, along with an original synth design, the Bombass.

Oliver Chesler

There are only rare moments where you will feel the fire of a great song coming on and get into the studio fast enough to get it down. However, all your great songs are inside you anyway. Whether or not you’re hot or cold they are there. You have to get into the studio and warm yourself up. Sit and make a crap dull song, erase it, get frustrated and then viola the good one starts to creep out.

I can’t tell you how many times I went into the studio with a sterile mind and came out with a song I was proud of only because I stayed long enough to make it happen. I also am ashamed to tell you I wasted too much time in life waiting for inspiration, full of self-handicapped exuses instead of sitting in front of Ableton Live.

Anything holding you back?

A short promo video for The Horrorist Oliver Chesler, looking a bit like he took the red pill. 

Some great images – but we’d like to see some live techno action.

Stuttgart, Germany, October 18, 2008 at Club Prag.

More at his flickr site.

If you like these – visit Oliver’s flickr site and let him know – maybe he’ll make more!

Wire to the Ear’s Oliver Chesler put together a nice screencast that shows the features of Ohm Force’s OhmBoyz plug in:

I really think OhmBoyz is the best delay I own. After watching the video I encourage you to head over to the Ohm Force website and download the demo.

This screencast covers: Installation, Presets, Multiple Knob Control, LFO, Automation and Sustained Loop.

He hits testing this out in live at about 1 minute in.

This video, by Oliver Chesler of Wire to the Ear, demos the Voice of Saturn synth DIY synthesizer & sequencer kits. 

In this cool video, Wire to the Ear’s Oliver Chesler goes to Jomox in Berlin, Germany, to purchase a Mbase 01 analog kick drum module. There, the owner Jürgen Michaelis shows Oliver his workshop and toys.

Michaelis is responsible for some of the craziest electronic music gear being created.
