Undead Instruments - timeFrogII - Inertial Sensor Gestures

2011-07-26T21:33:00.000-04:00

The timeFrog II is a powerful and flexible MIDI device dedicated to music computer and MIDI applications.

The spin/inertial sensor provides a totally new kind of control surface, which opens new way for playing with parameters.

The 8 endless encoders, 4 potentiometers and 6 buttons form a functional and compact.

There is also a embedded 4 steps sequencer: 4x4 steps x 6 voices

This patch was setup in Ableton Max For Live using only two instances of SonicCharge's Synplant software synthesizer. These two patches where customized and
designed to work with the timeFrogII. Creating for some very unique musical gestures. All sequencing and note generation is from the timeFrog controller.

Field Recordings from Teufelsberg Listening Station Berlin, Germany by RichardDevine

Sound recordings from "Teufelsberg" (German for Devil's Mountain) Listening station Berlin Germany. Short excerpts from the high tower dome trying to capture the most amazing spatial reverb echos from this most unusual structure.Various impacts, glass breaks, wooden clanks recorded at 24-bit 96kz with a Zoom H4N. Note: that some distant birds and wind can be heard through some of the recordings. This was due to some of the small holes in the ceiling structure, allowing some slight outside bleed.

MakeNoise Phonogene-Regenerative Record Patch

2011-05-15T12:14:00.000-04:00

MakeNoise Phonogene-Regenerative Record Patch

A variation from the Regenerative Record patch from the Phonogene manual. Infinite variations of regenerative slices and cutting on a live looping signal can be heard. The entire patch is running into the summed inputs of a Intellijel Mutagen. I then ran the main output of the Mutagen into the Phonogen, using it more like a stuttering edit plug-in on the master mix. The entire patch is completely modular using no other computers or external processing.

Analogue Modular live set at the Trash Audio Synth Meet 9: Chicago April 3rd, 2011.

Saturday Modular patch:modDemix-René, Brains,PressurePoints-Slow Acid.

2011-03-26T13:34:00.000-04:00

Quick patch test with the modDemix and MakeNoise René sequencer running out to several modules for a slow animated control voltage jam. I started with QCV to 1V/ oct into the Cwejman VM-1 (Acid Slow Bassline). Then sent the X-Gate into the Cwejman CTG-VC envelope and I use Y-Gate for Accent/volume. I used the Doepfer 160,161,4ms RCD, SCD for clock divisions for gates into the rene for half time pattern playback. ModDemix was used in VCA mode with Rene going back and triggering the input for interesting gated time triggering of signals. The distant quantized melody is one voice of the VCO2-RM through the intellijel uScale then through Tiptops Z-5000 with a touch of delay. MakeNoise Brains and Pressure Points running in sequence mode to the Synthesis Technology E350, VCO2-RM, WMD Gamma Wave for extra clustering of timbres. The Cwejman BLD is the kick drum, and Noisering for high hats and snare patterns generated by the intellijel uStep.

Intellijel μscale - quantized symmetry

2011-02-11T12:24:00.000-05:00

The μscale module is a cv quantizer and musical interval generator. In this simple patch I am using four VCO's. Cwejman VCO-2RM, VM-1,harvestman piston honda, and hertz donut. Everything is being CV sequenced by the output of the μscale. Clocked from one mini ELF LFO to a Doepfer 160, 161 then out to a-151 quad sequential switch controlling the MakeNoise Brains, and two pressure points doing long slow sequences back into the CV and Shift input on the Intellijel μscale. The drums are coming from the cwejman BLD and NS-04 for the white noise snare, and high hats. Effects used TipTop Z5000, Z-DSP, and Doepfer A-187

Note: this patch is completely modular, no drum machines or computers used here:)

Angular Karplus Modular Patch running through the E580

2011-01-28T14:49:00.001-05:00

Here is the actual patch that was used for the E580 demo. Everything programmed and patched on the P900 case Tiptop Happy Ending Kit and Cwejman S1. This was a short test with the Synthesis Technology E580 delay at variable different rates. CV attenuated outputs from the Cwejman ATT-4. Using 4 different random control voltage outputs (Cwejman NS-04, D-LFO-both outs, Plan-B Model 24 Heisenberg Generator), to animate the delay, feedback, mix and offset.

This new signature set by the Atlanta based Glitchcore/IDM artist Richard Devine takes your Virus TI to extreme and new territories. Richard’s passion for noise, dirt and distortion can easily be recognized though all his sounds. Many sounds alter drastically with changing the MIDI note pitch although the actual pitch remains nearly the same. Also many sounds evolve over time and can be greatly modified with the preassigned soft knobs.

PHOENECIA - ECHELON MALL: TURNING SOUND DESIGN INTO MUSIC

2010-02-19T01:03:00.009-05:00

Josh Kay of DEVSND has released an album of works for film & art exhibitions reworked into an album of sound design & musical goodness.

Phoenecia - Echelon Mall
Produced by Josh Kay & Romulo Del Castillo

From the press release:
Although Phoenecia's Echelon Mall is the culmination of 5 years of exhibitions and film work, the project did not begin with their first commission, rather the moment the first revision was requested. Realizing that useful limbs were bound to be severed, and conversely, that music for film needs to undergo additional surgery to become good listening music, the artists tucked the idea of echelon mall away for safekeeping, adding bits and pieces as time passed...

Synplant Garden from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

Running several instances of the Sonic Charge Synplant plug-in. Interesting little experiment to see how automation draws controlling the cellular synthesis data parameters. Giving you wildly organic free flowing sound effects.

Native Instruments The Finger vs Richard Devine

2009-09-02T16:36:00.000-04:00

Native Instruments The Finger vs Richard Devine from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

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. =)

LIVE AT NOPHEST 2008 ATL

2008-12-03T00:38:00.007-05:00

Just jamming, nothing serious. A little unadulterated & obnoxious neo-acid for the ravers.

Richard Devine: 808, 303 (Devilfish), Machinedrum, Monomachine, Kaoss Pad, Roland SBX-10 sync box.

Josh Kay: Doepfer Suitcase = Livewire AFG, Plan B Model15 (2), MakeNoise QMMG, Doepfer A-119, 188-1y (256), Doepfer A-149-1/2 and a few other goodies. I forget.

...and no computer.

NON-SPECIFIC ACID WITH PROTOTYPE MAKE NOISE QMMG

2008-11-24T21:47:00.007-05:00

Only the Doepfer monster case was used, everything is just blinking idly, in attempt to distract you.

Doepfer A-155 randomly sequencing a Livewire AFG sine,
Doepfer A-147 square wave clocking Doepfer A-149-1/2, Doepfer A-149-2 random gates triggering QMMG CV triggers and CV resonance in no particular order, QMMG master out lightly treated with Doepfer A-199 spring rev & Doepfer A-188-1Y (256) (CV2 modded with A-149-1).

Actually the patch took less time to set up than it did to write this explanation.

Mind you, this is a prototype QMMG, and I'm only using 2 of the 4 modes (and of those 2 modes used I didn't properly demonstrate their respective ranges, nor did I intend to) this does not properly demonstrate all of the module's enormous potential, just a little jam. By Richard Devine & Josh Kay.

JOSH KAY WORKSPACE ON TRASH AUDIO

2008-11-04T19:00:00.000-05:00

An interview with Trash Audio about my workspace. From the article:
"What is your favorite piece of hardware?
The personal computer is my favorite piece of hardware, it's my favorite because it can be anything. I would say the Doepfer/Euro-rack modular but I'm secretly fond of another younger and sexier model. Also, the Lavry DA10 has changed my life and no studio is complete without a fuzzy logic rice cooker."

MicroTrack Tales From the Road

2008-11-04T15:52:00.006-05:00

M-Audio just posted an article on us this month about the new Microtrack II hand held digital recorder.

"I recently went on a field recording trip to Petty Johns Cave in northwest Georgia. The cave is located on the east side of Pigeon Mountain in the Appalachian Plateau. It has small rivers and waterfalls deep at the bottom of the cave, which is about four hours below ground level. I used the MicroTrack II to capture the unusual ambient sound of water flowing through strange cuts in the rocks. All the recordings ended up getting included in my new Sony effects library. The MicroTrack held up very well even in the most challenging conditions."

DUNCAN LAURIE / MIND MELD 2008

2008-06-06T16:58:00.020-04:00

Richard & Josh recently visited Duncan Laurie's lab in Jamestown, RI, and performed at mind meld 2008 - all of which was documented on Matrixsynth and Create Digital Music. Duncan has spent the last 20 years exploring and writing about semiotics and the relationship of subtle energy technology (Psychotronic and radionic) to art; devising sonic plant and mineral communication experiments for artistic presentation (with Gordon Salisbury, Todd Thille, and others). At Duncan's lab we made music with fruits, vegetables, plants, rocks, our own muscles & brainwaves, and all sorts of other items of typically of little interest to musicians.
