Derek Holzer was this week artist in residence at the WORM ModdrLab____, with a Neanderthal Electronincs Workshop of building your own synth he showed that with little means you can create an exciting self composed basic synthesizer. He also spent 2 long days at the Studio. On the clip below he is filming a synth scematic while Mr Jean is performing his self built synth.
Exciting times at the studio as the midi to cv implementation is taking shape. At the moment there’s a set up for the EMS (putney) and MS 20 (korg). Now you can sit and compose on your pc music for these synths just as you would for your soft synths, but the studio machines sound brutal.
below is an little example of a demo setup. the putney has a relative range of 3 three octaves, depending on where you start, the MS 20 is another case to study.

Mondaymorning…Its their first day of a week long stay at the studio, and they intend to use as many of the machines as possible, into a electro-gamelan piece they intend to make.
so first lessons on the arp 2500, how to get a controlled note out of it.
anyhow, 5 hours later, they already got the concussor going, filter external sounds thru the arp while sequencing, had a weary go at the serge, decided that the putney was out of control, and the arp 2600 not very reliable either.
Anyway, here’s a track they made that week and later mixed at home. Details on what we hear will follow.
Marc writes: “We used gamelan samples from a free library, sequenced them in Ableton Live, then set it out into the Serge and Arp 2500. The Arp was being modulated with lfo’s and envelops from the Serge as well as the other sequencer on top of the rack.”

yes folks, the kenton midi to cv converter is here and hopefully installed next month, so you can all come and get your miditools out and bonk away with the whole analogue caboodle behind it….

NEXT LIFE flew in especially to see the zeni geva gig, offered to be the support act and work 2 days in the studio, primarily mixing out some of their new tracks thru our mixingdesk because of its good sound, so they said, and of they went again, promising to be back for more later this year. Intens.
We had to wait a few centuries, but here he is, Scarlatti Goes Electro at last at the WORM studio, preparing a barockandroll track with the ARP 2600. Of course with his favorite piano, or clavecimbel as some call it. More info on them at www.wormweb.nl

previously recorded in the wormstudio……….
“when vtb played at worm in december 2007 we were supposed to do a recording session that was to be used by worm for their online radio show or something on the worm web. it was in our contract that we do a show and recording session.when we arrived at worm for the studio recording there was no sound
engineer. a couple of hours later someone did come to record us but it was very ad hoc and we didn’t record too much.anyway, clarence took the recordings away and prepared some tracks from it. then he sent the tracks to the rest of the band and in typical volcano the bear style we forgot about them until now. so after that explanation vtb have 3 tracks recorded at worm. total time is about 14 minutes.would you like us to send them to you? also, we may want to use them ourselves at some point in the near future – is this ok with worm?ok, i hope all this makes sense to you and we look forward to your response.cheersaaron”
Thanks to Aaron Moore for sending these tracks.
