For the ouverture, I had in mind the Grand Canyon in the USA and wanted to play on the speed of the harmonic changes, as opposed to simple note values. I chose to use the Digital Resonator (based on Rings from MI and adapted in 4U format by 1979) which uses digital signal processing to simulate vibrating strings and resonating membranes. At times going into a Vox AC30 Amplifier + Fender Bassman Cabinet creating beautiful saturaton + a large-scale musical gesture.
Americana as if we were there…
In Part 2 you’ll hear more of the great importance of the Digital Resonator. Whether I may use it to process a signal or as a main voice this module never fails to impress and has proven essential to my ears. The sweet melody was played using a unique module built by Gabor Kakuk from Encoder Audio, the Dual Random Looping Sequencer Model 302 a glorious adaptation of the OLD Turing Machine Random Looping Sequencer by Music Thing Modular. It goes into another fantastic piece of my equipment, Jürgen Haible’s Frequency Shifter adapted to Buchla format by Jon The Human Comparator.
The MARF + Benjolin (another terrific adaptation from Rob Hordijk’s to the Buchla format by Anthony Capelli) and 266 are also operating in full force to bring some surprise…
Part 3 offers The 208 Easel top floor enhanced by some 296 filtering actions. Obviously the 208 has to be a favorite offering so many options: 5 step sequencer, an Envelope Generator, a Pulser, 2 VCO offering ring mod, AM, and FM, 2 Lo Pass Gate (in parallel or in series) of which 1 is reversed in polarity to allow other types of filters + préamp, reverb, inverter, monitors…
Although for my taste the most beautiful voice comes from the immense 258 Dual Oscillator screaming out loud in the 1979 Stereo Microsound Processor offering Granular, Pitch Shift as well as some Spectral processing. It's a bit like stepping out of my body, with just these voices talking in my head that I can't really understand, while they're echoing endlessly and hauntingly.
I WANT MORE!
