Museum of Techno – Making a Beat Part 1


In which Mr Cornwell sets up a drum kit, to record “break beat” loops for use in a techno rhythm.

Mutant Mesh Drums Patch


Short Patch experiment with a few new modules, including the Mutant BD9, Mutant Snare, Pico Drums x 2, running through various effects. The main CV modulation sources in the patch are the Modcan Quad LFO, and the new Control Forge module by Rossum Electro which was used to create a fast quick modulation bursts to the Amp decay Pitch etc on the BD9. Drones via the Music Thing Radio Music, playing a feedback drone wave going through the Tiptop Z-DSP “Halls of Valhalla card, program 7. I ran the BD9 through the new black hole DSP module by Erica Synths, and the Mutable Instruments Clouds running a unreleased firmware, and finally some Rainmaker X 2 for the snare processing, pitch delays. There is also a bit of Z-DSP, Eventide H9, AD Reverb, OWL, and ErbVerb too. Enjoy, download to the audio file below. 🙂 track download: http://bit.ly/29VjOOS

Harmonic Symmetry


Harmonic patch using the new MakeNoise tELHARMONIC is a Multi-Voice, Multi-Algorithm synthesizer, and 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator. The master clock is the Tiptop Circadian Rhythms. Clock output running into the Modcan Touch Sequencer. Channel output one running into one intellijel Dixie (V1) for the bassline. Dixie output running into a Mutable instruments Ripples filter (LP4), triangle waveform. Second channel output sequencing quantized 8 note sequence to the telharmonic oscillator, creating the first lead sequence in the patch (major scale set). One Mult output taken and sent to the Strymon BigSky reverb pedal to create the delicate swarm pads that rise in and out at the builds. Amplitude control of the slow rises via the intellijel HexVCA, slow rate control from one Modcan Quad LFO. The other output is then taken and sent to the Qu-bit RT-60 reverb. Third output from the Modcan TS sending quantized CV to the MakeNoise STO oscillator variable SHAPE output then sent through lower section of the MakeNoise Optomix. The forth output from the Modcan TS is sending a 4 chord pattern (min9) to the intellijel shapeshifter module in chord mode. This output is then sent to another Qu-Bit RT-60 reverb algorithm. MakeNoise Mysteron plucking guitar like effect being triggered by a 4ms RCD, 5th trigger out. The Mysterson then is running out into a Strymon BlueSky pedal, reverb. Drum sequencing from TipTop CR, channel one kick drum going to the Nord Drum 2. Second channel number 2 triggering a custom snare drum made on the Nord Drum 2. Channel 6 from the CR triggering a low bass drum, in the key of “C”. Clock output from CR into the 4ms SCM being rotated by a intellijel dixie sine wave output running at a slow rate shifting the 16th’s hi hat pattern. Noise source for hi-hats are the SSF quantum rainbow 2, purple output running into the MakeNoise Optomix. The high end snare clap sound is by the Synthrotek’s DS-M drum module, then being lightly processed by the Synthrotek DLY, slowly CV controlled by a Modcan Quad LFO in random mode creating more glitchy effects. This is then being sequenced by channel number 2 from the tiptop CR. The first lower left side 4ms Spectral Multi-band Resonator processing 72 custom DSP samples, which are being played by one addac wave player. The output is then being sent to a intellijel uVCF filter (hi pass), for the light subtle glitch textures. The second 4ms Spectral Multi-band Resonator, processing another set of 32 samples (noise washes/slow rises/falls) via channel number 4 from the CR tiptop. From here the output is being processed by a Mutable Instruments Clouds (granular mode), being controlled by the Pittsburgh Modular Game System running “Meteor Shower” mode in which the explosion based gates and random control voltages are then being sent to 3rd Dixie, controlling the CV rate time then from there its sent to the “Freeze” input on clouds, processing small bits of audio coming from the second addac waveplayer, The second output coming from the gamesystem is going into the “position” input on Clouds, which is doing some additional glitching to the signal.Main output from a intellijel Mutagen mixer then ran through the Eventide space pedal for extra spatial atmosphere. 🙂 For those wanting the track, its available here (Free Download) http://bit.ly/1hzMdxj http://www.makenoisemusic.com/telharmonic.html http://www.4mspedals.com/htnew/smr.php

Albert Benzler – ''Beaumarie'' (released 1903)


Glockenspiel (“bells”) solo. Issued on Edison Records. This guy was pretty popular in his day. He’s one of my favourite artists of the 1900s. The audio comes from the UCSB Cylinder Audio Archive. The pictures come from issues of the old magazine Edison Phonograph Monthly.

I literally cannot wait for SIGGRAPH

Stan Lee’s latest superhero comic book franchise – Nitron

A comic industry legend who has bestowed the comic fans with superheroes like Spider-Man, the Hulk, The X-Men and many others, Stan Lee is set to once again introduce a new comic book character. As reported by Vareity, Lee unveiled the new comic book characters ‘Nitron’ on the eve of the San Diego Comic Con.

Benaroya PicturesJust like his early works that have been now adopted across entertainment platforms, this new character franchise is aimed feature films, TV and digital platforms. The demi-god of the comic industry, Lee is partnering with Keya Morgan and Michael Benaroya on “Nitron,” which revolves around a highly intelligent and advanced species of Nitronians who covertly live on modern day Earth.

“It’s a pleasure to partner with Michael Benaroya and Keya Morgan on Nitron,” said Lee. “I am excited for everyone to explore the amazing world of Nitron with us.”

The new franchise will serve as the source material for film, TV and digital adaptations produced by Benaroya Pictures. Benaroya Pictures has secured an initial $50 million fund to finance the development and production with Benaroya as an anchor investor.

The comic book will be rolled out in January as  as a six volume series which will be published by Benaroya Publishing. Benaroya (Margin Call, Lawless) Lee and Morgan (who’s currently producing and directing the documentary film Marilyn Monroe: Murder on Fifth Helena Drive)  are writing the content and will be producers for the same.
