Richard Devine

Sunday Synth Jam: This abstronica jam captures what Richard Devine does when he’s not busy watching a lake form around his house.

The patch combines Tiction – an animated nodal music sequencer for Mac, Windows & Linux; monome; and the touch-screen JazzMutant Lemur controller.

Richard Devine is one of the early users of Native Instruments new The Finger, a $79 keyboard-controlled performance effects processor developed with electronic music artist Tim Exile of Warp Records.

He created this glitchtronica freakout, and has this to say about The Finger:

Here is a little experiment I tried using Tim Exile’s new Finger Plug-in with Logic 9.

I was running some of my drums on a track in Logic’s Flex mode, slightly drawing in graphic tempo changes, and automating all the parameter twist knobs drastically, while programming every MIDI parameter I could assign on the piano roll editor, Doing more then my two hands could do=) Just letting it all go crazy.

Some strange interesting results indeed. =)

Richard Devine’s “first little messy beat jam with the Monemur patch for the Lemur controlling MLR.”

Monemur is a Monome emulation for the JazzMutant Lemur.

“Just thought I would record a patch I made this afternoon on my modular system,” explains Devine. “Bits and pieces running through the H-3000 DS/E Eventide Harmonizer.”

This set of videos features Richard Devine demonstrating the techniques that he and Josh Kay used in capturing sounds for the sample kit Richard Devine – The Electronic Music Manuscript. Read more…
