DARK ENERGY
Review from
Sound On Sound Magazine
January 2010

Aktueller Testbericht aus dem
Professional Audio Magazin:
 

Eine Modulversion des Dark Energy A-111-5  
ist ebenfalls erhältlich

Interconnected - “Current Flow”.(VU-US018)
Vu-us is very proud to present their newest release: Interconnected - “Current Flow”.(VU-US018)
Interconnected is a collaborative electronica/ idm/ experimental project between Bakis Sirros (of Parallel Worlds, Memory Geist) and Ingo Zobel (of DRON, Signalform, Self Oscillate, Datasette). Both guys are heavy into analogue modular systems which makes their sound very unique and organic compared to other artists in the electronica scene who hardly use any hardware anymore. Their debut album “Current Flow” is a sonic trip where frequencies take on real life form. Each song takes you on an aural voyage to explore new worlds beyond your imagination. The opening track “Greenerblue” brings you smoothly into this new world while other tracks like “Deepestsespeed” give you the impression that you are wandering around that cold surface for ages.
The design of this release might seem a bit dark rst, compared to the music itself, but it represents a so familiar ally and yet so mysterious during the night, the unknown.

Daren Ager: "Using the small Doepfer system as a kind of 606+303 combo, not a musical statement, just me having some fun. All the sounds and sequencing done entirely on the system shown."

Neue CD und Interview Parallel Worlds

Auch im neuesten Album von Parallel Worlds kommt das A-100 wieder ausgiebig zum Einsatz:

Shade is the studio album follow-up to Obsessive Surrealism (DiN26 - 2007) and is the fifth CD release by Parallel Worlds (the main musical project of Greek electronic musician Bakis Sirros).Parallel Worlds employ a vast arsenal of both vintage and modern analogue modular synthesisers with extensive use of classic sequencing techniques to produce a sonic world that combines modern electronica and ambient music styles with the feel of retro electronic music. His attention to detail is astonishing and his careful sculpting of sounds and textures produce an organic, ever evolving atmosphere full of half glimpsed meanings and subdued emotions. The purely electronic rhythms and beats seem to have a life of their own and showcase a musician who is a virtuoso with these types of instruments that are the antithesis of the quick fix pick-a-preset mind set of much of todays society. Musically he likes to explore various states of mind, no doubt influenced by his medical background and this adds a tension and darkness to his compositions that are punctuated by disarmingly simple and wistful melodies.With Shade Parallel Worlds show a musical maturity and command of sonic atmospherics that takes the music on a journey, moving through dreams and shades, aiming for the light.

Neue CD von Robert Piotrowicz

Robert Piotrowicz considers his synthesizer a most noxious device, fit only for immolation. He isn't a just a wayward noisemonger by definition, nor does he conform to the extreme avant-garde dogmas emblazoned from well-on high (Subotnick, Babbitt, Buchla, Carlos) to those little-known (PBK, Six Or More, etc.). Apparently Piotrowicz's mandate on Lasting Clinamen is to test the very limits of his chosen weapon (in this case, a single Doepfer A100 analog modular), ignoring wholecloth factory presets, passé "space" eruptions, nomadic blipperies, or anything approaching an emergent style-hook less-forgiving shoppers might cling to in desperation. Like Thomas Lehn, Piotrowicz autopsies his instrument to see what he can screw with inside, reorienting your middle ear while he's at it.
The CD is available from: www.musicagenera.net

Tutorial: MAQ16/3 and Ableton Live

A template by Dimitri Pike for Ableton Live that let users takes control of the MAQ 16/3 via Ableton Live interface. It's free under a commons copyrights license (peoples can share it, use it but are not allowed making money profit out of it and needs to mention who is the creator when using it). It helps a lot to program the MAQ 16/3 from the notebook without having to search in the menu. It is not something intented to replace the fun when using a MAQ 16/3, it is to multiplicate it.

Audio: Extrakt by Monoman made with A-100
Question: monoman: 
What's the idea behind "Extrakt"? I just wanted to use a few instruments. Each with it's unique sound.
What sort of instruments did you use then? Well you can hear an Access Virus Classic, an Elektron Monomachine, a Dave Smith Evolver, a Jomox Mbase01 and a Doepfer A-100 system.
That's an interesting mixture of digital and analogue devices! I think it's all about using the right balance of digital and analogue sound sources. For example the bassline of Extrakt is a Doepfer A-100. I used the Quad AD-Generator to modulate different sources. That's the trick behind that groovy bassline.
What are your further plans? I'm just producing a new release in the style of "Extrakt".

Neues Album von David Westling
David Westling has released a new CD, "Bum Crab Hatband", through the website electro-music.com. "Bum Crab Hatband" mines the territory out near the far end of socially acceptable behavior. Atonal, virtually non-melodic, rhythmically warped, and highly dynamic, it really defies categorization. Realized with a small Doepfer outfit (less than 6U) plus some smatterings of other instrumentation, this music invites the listener to reassess his or her expectations of what constitutes the beautiful via rather surrealistic juxtapositions of sonic strangeness. Through a confrontation with the unfamiliar conjoined with inklings of echoes of the past, delicious dislocations become possible.

Neues Album von Gusgus 
Die isländische Band Gusgus hat ihr neues Album FOREVER für den 23. Februar 2007 angekündigt. Wir freuen uns, dass bei diesem Album das A-100 Modularsystem eingesetzt wurde. EinTeil der Drumsounds (z.B. Bassdrum, Snaredrum) wurden mit dem A-100 erzeugt und auch das Sampling-Modul A-112 wurde häufig verwendet (auch als Effect im Effekt-Modus mit spannungsgesteuerterm Tune). Besonders freut uns, dass Gusgus zwei Demos speziell für das A-100-System erstellt hat:

Neues Album von Parallel Worlds
Parallel Worlds is the main project for the Greek musician Bakis Sirros. “Obsessive Surrealism” is his fourth album (release date March 05, 2007) having previously released “Existence” in 2003 on Greek label Rubber Recordings and “Insight” in 2004 and “Far Away Light” in 2005 both on the UK label Shima Records. He has also had tracks included on several compilation releases. Bakis is a great advocate of modular analogue instruments and indeed is the moderator for the Doepfer A100 modular users group. The music of Parallel Worlds is a combination of dreamy, atmospheric textures and pure analogue electronic rhythms and sequences, combining the feel of 70’s electronic music with modern electronica and ambient music. Sirros uses huge analogue modular instruments and analogue step sequencers of the past and present combined with digital FM, virtual analogue synths and sampling. However he manages to elude the fate of many of his contemporaries in not falling into the trap of simply recycling the past. He creates a music that lives and breathes, imbued with his own personality and mannerisms. At one and the same time familiar and fresh. Steady, organic rhythmic structures are overlaid with deceptively simple melodies that remind one of some lost John Carpenter soundtrack.
