Jack Dangers - Jack Dangers - Kelvin-Helmholtz Wave Cloud

Zack I'm really glad Jack is putting out these recordings on modulisme, I've always hoped he would record an album of himself just making sounds on the big synthi 100 or any of his other synthesizers so this is like a dream come true for me. I recognize some elements from different songs in these recordings which is super duper cool because if you've also ever wondered "what's making that sound?" while listening to an MBM track, his modulisme recordings will answer some of those questions. thank you

about

Jack has been making electronic music now for 40 years, 22 years with the Synthi100.
At the end of the 80s, he originated Meat Beat Manifesto and started to create a universe and a new sound, made up of breaks, psychedelia strewn with samples, in an industrial, dub and hip hop fusion…
Inhabiting San Francisco, Jack has played a central role in the explosion of genres such as big beat, trip hop, breakbeat and dubstep and has collaborated with David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, The Orb, Public Enemy, David Byrne, DJ Shadow, Aphex Twin while releasing solo works and playing his vintage synths…

lyrics

« EMS made the most portable vintage synthesizer, the suitcase AKS, and the least portable, the behemoth S-100!
With 20 oscillators (including the self-oscillating filters) and 7,200 physical patch points, the S-100 allows you to enter uncharted territory and endless audio possibilities. It has to be the most idiosyncratic synthesizer ever made, the nearest comparison would be Buchla in terms of 'free synthesis'.
It was ground breaking In 1969 to include the first digital sequencer, with 3 layers and a control key, it was designed to work with the Compu-Synthi running its own music software 'MUSYS’.
The S-100 is perfect for experimentation and discovery of new unique sounds. However, I have found that all things are not created equal. I have a treatment patch that I frequently use on the AKS, I discovered the same patch on the S-100 sounds completely different and different once again on the VCS-3!
Much experimentation and trial and error is needed to conquer this very IDIOSYNCRATIC synth.
Is it worth it, absolutely - just try stair casing the three ring modulators and see where it takes you…completely endless. »
