What the Moon Brings . . .
What the Moon Brings is a short story by H P Lovecraft and it is said to be based on a dream he once had. It certainly is a bit creepy! This track is included in my mini labum H.P.L E.P. abvailable on my Bandcamp site
How it started . . . .
The picture on the left was taken in May 2011 at the start of my ‘modular journey’. The right hand picture was taken today. Quite a lot of changes although I still have the Tip Top Audio oscillators and the Doepfer A-147 LFO Things developed rapidly as the picture below was taken just a month […]
Per Modular ad Astra!
More modular and Black Sequencer! Oscillators AJH and Verbos Harmonic Oscillator. AJH filters and V-Shape in there. Syntrx II of course and a little bit of Moog Subharmonicon. Lots of other stuff going on in ProTools of course!
Snowdrops – A Touch of Spring!
Yes, a touch of spring – reverb! Have been trying out various spring reverb plugins, trying to convince myself that I don’t need a Wellspring – although it must be the coolest bit of audio hardware out there at the moment! So latest trial is Softube Spring Reverb – and seems pretty good so far. […]
Just another Sunday afternoon . . .
Another Sunday afternoon with the Black Sequencer. Four channels from the modular – including the Verbos harmonic oscillator into a ring modulator, and also the Mannequins Mangrove oscilator/ Three Sisters filter. Also added Syntrx II and ARP2600. Lots of plugins of course! Notably Audiority Ursa Major Space Station emulation, Sound Toys Echo Boy, and a […]
Sleepless . . . new adventures with Black Sequencer
More adventures with Erica Synths Black Sequencer indeed! This time been messing with Mannequins Mangrove Oscillator, Just Friends and Three Sisters filter – so, mostly modular – a lot of the usual suspects – AJH, Tip Top and of course Syntrx II – oh and there is a bit of Korg ARP2600 in there too! […]
Latest Acquisition – AJH Sonic XV
Just exploring the SonicXV from AJH. More than just a filter with wave shaping with a second waveshaper on the resonance circuit! Wow! The multi-tracked sequences are mostly going through the Sonic XV and the floaty stuff is from Syntrx2. I used various outputs from Mannequins Just Friends module to modulate the filter.
Octatonic Jam
This was recorded in a single take with no external fx on the Analogue Solutions Impulse Command synthsizer. I used an octatonic scale favoured by Olivier Messiaen – so just Messiaen about really!
Fenlandia
Living as I do in the East Anglian Fens, I have long been fascinated by the wetlands and especially its insects, photography being another of my interests, so this is a celebration in music and images of the Great Fen and its wildlife. The photos were taken mostly at Woodwalton Fen – one of my […]
