"An original track..? Actully just little improvvisation on a 2 bar loop. Gear used: Waldorf MicroQ, Clavia Nord Modular G2, MPC500 (main sequencer), Elektron Machinedrum, DSI Tetra, Korg MS2000, Korg SV1. No computer were used. Recorded on a Yamaha Pocketrak CX." via Resonant Filter
"Here is a hard to find Synare Tympani synth drum made by Star Instruments in the early 80s. It's in terrific shape and works perfectly. What makes this one unique is the remote "Tune" selector box custom made for the original owner by the inventors to allow quickly switching to any of 6 user-preset base frequencies. It truly is a 1-of-a-kind package (actually 2 of a kind since I also have its sibling which was created at the same time).
The Synare Tympani produces a full tympani-like sound in a great range of octaves. You can adjust the tympani's ringing up and down sweep, decay (from staccato tom sounds to long decays), sensativity, and volume. You can also connect a pedal to modify the tuning in real-time, if you have one."

YouTube via MediaArtTube — May 17, 2010 — "'Light Frequency Fingertips' is composed of four fingercaps, each containing light sensitive phototransistors. The fingercaps (made of bicycle tubes) are especially customized for the thumb and forefinger of both hands, and transform light frequencies into acoustic signals. Light, emitted by the displays of activated mobile phones, functions as the origin of the sounds. As each mobile phone's display generates a different light frequency, each results in an audio signal with a different pitch. In addition, other electronic devices, such as flashing bicycle lights, can be used to generate rhythmic tones.
Performance: If the sensors are connected to 3 volt button cell batteries and the stereo jack is plugged into an amplifier, it's time to play! Any subtle movement of the fingertips creates a slightly audible change in sound. Fading and mixing is also done by moving the fingers. Naturally some mobile phones switch into sleep mode while others stay active, so this adds a extended visual feature to the performance. In order to avoid interference or a disturbing hum, the instrument should be used in dark environments. More info: http://www.robertmathy.com/lightfrequ..."
"Yamaha CS80 Ambient Improvinization Video Montage
17 minutes of CS80 improvinization thrown together with video clips I had of the studio and my trip to Europe. (Germany, Prague, Amsterdam)
Signal flow is: CS80==>SRE-555 Tape Echo==> Siemens 245b EQ ==> Eventide 2016 Reverb==> Prism Orpheus AD/DA
Left Channel is SRE-555 Output A, Right channel is SRE-555 Output B. Chorus is output from A+B. Spring Reverb is output from B. Tape Delay is Output B. Direct Signal is output A.
All video shot with a Nikon D90 using a Nikkor 1.4 Aperture 50mm lens.
(I ran out of video, but kept the audio going to the end.)"

"Read all about this exciting DIY analog Synthesizer PCB here... Please note that I removed both ADSR envelopes from the board but each section of the pcb is independent so this wont affect the other modules."
"The ASM-2 expands upon the popular ASM-1 with a number of new features and enhancements as detailed below. The ASM-2 brings the process of building a complete analog synthesiser closer to fruition."
Features: VCO (x2) VCF 1 - state-variable filter VCF 2 - transistor ladder filter (Moog style) VCA (x2) ADSR (x2) VCLFO (x2) Noise Glide Sample & Hold Power Supply Ring Modulator Main PCB
