My 1yo daughter and I walked through an empty atrium in a hospital and took turns making small bursts of noise with our voices to appreciate the reverb tails. Pure joy 😊
I’ve been diving into the warmth of sound once again, I found my dads old cassette recorder and have been lulling my staffy to sleep with strings, underneath metallic drums sampled pretty much all by noise plethora befaco in vcv. I’ve found myself drifting off into so many different avenues of music and technology for it, there’s just so much but I always find my way back to the breathe of modular. I really like your prompts, I love the phycological aspect of music, it’s almost as if it’s running parallel to music theory of importance
It’s a “pleasure and a treasure and everything” (-Lee Scratch Perry) to watch you patch. I plugged an electric guitar into the MN Easel and picked some otherwise boring picking. Attenuated Frankenstein.
Had our first major heat lighting storm within the last week up in Chicago. It was one of the hottest days of the year, cicadas were screaming at the top of their weird little lungs. We had a point of thunder where it was rumbling for 20-30 minutes straight. I pulled out my lil recorder and just taped it for 5-10 minutes with cicadas, Thunder, and the other sounds of the major city. Felt like all the different sounds were shifting for dominance or trying to get to ‘tune’ at different points. It was surreal but it was fascinating to sit and observe since it sounded like it wouldn’t end.
It was organ tuning day at a cathedral I was visiting, by luck (York Minster). So I recorded it, and tried to clean it up afterwards. Then fantasised about having a spectraphon and/or morphagene to process it!
i suspended myself upside down with my rig - also upside down - (using make noise module sto) and my ceramic shaker box. thanks for functioning while upside down!
What a great suggestion! Love seeing all the wonderful comments. So nice to know, there are all kinds of creative people, willing to share their ideas. My idea for today was, to sample the sounds of my electric toothbrush, interacting with different things, like my mouth, water, guitar strings, etc. Have fun everyone! 🎶⚡💥
Worked on a patch with my make noise system. So hyped for the qmmg. Heavy patching experimentation most of the day, getting ready to see you guys on the 7th. Im sure I will have at least one track and a patch ready.
Semi rhythmically tapped my knuckles on a stainless steel sink while contemplating the reverberations as I awaited the water to get restored so I could finish the dishes...😊
This week I went to the Scottish Highlands with a field recorder and a 0 coast and made an album from the sounds I captured and layered the 0 coast to form compositions both melodic and concrete.
I made some (only some) progress on middle and high register embouchure on an end-blown flute I’ve been trying to learn to play for awhile, and noted with some interest that there is some new-to-me insect making itself known in the neighborhood trees after sunset; a sort of almost echolocative click-click-clicking that I plan to try and steal with my field recorder tomorrow evening.
I'm messing about with my new (used) Mother-32 and Strega, plus Electus Versio for effects. Random melodies supplied by MTM Turing Machine. Both the M32 and Strega sound unique and have beautiful capabilities, but together they are even more magical. Again, just faffing about... Nothing world changing, record breaking or thought provoking. ;) Reklaw obviously knows what he's doing... This was great. :)
Played drums at a show. Listened to Eliane Radigue and tried to see if I could find similar rhythms and resonances out during my day to day. Closest thing that I could hear was the vibrations of my car driving on paved road competing with the wind against the windows and how it changed at different speeds and on different roads.
There's a dog toy with a very long release to its squeaker sound that I bought for my new puppy. I discovered that a few of those long squeaks in a row will make him sit and howl. So I've been listening to a chihuahua puppy softly howling every evening.
I moved from the UK to CZ this week, and on the plane over I read Peter Blasser's MA thesis. Since then I've been using far too much brain power trying to mentally map out the 5 vcos and 10 s+h circuits of the Cocoquantus' modulation scetion, so I made a VCV rack patch of it, then applied that to the Phonogene - jamming the cv inputs full of cross modulation and chaos patched CV feedback :)
Fun this week with two local ravens that perch on my balcony; sampled their calls a while back and have been playing them back to them via Koala Sampler
Built a new complex patch, working with some ambient droning and filter pinging with FM folding, a new exploratory experience and really enjoyed how it turned out. Thanks for the video!
I saw Juliana Barwick open for Perfume Genius this week. The way she looped, layered and processed vocal loops was so ethereal and inspiring- looking forward to trying out some similar ideas using samples from the bulgarian folk tune Kaval Sviri (Bulgarian state television female choir version) chopped up in the morphagene with my custom MN black & gold system
i recorded some sounds (sheep, birds, wind in trees) while walking a medieval pilgrim's path in the scottish borders and put some of the sounds into morphagene. sheep baas sound very good slowed down with a small gene size and slide being modulated
Playing every evening, composing on my modular, recording sometimes. weekends in the forest searching mushrooms in silence (false silence because of the birds)
Finally go my Morphagene into a case again this week, and prepared some reels in reaper with random recordings I had laying around. I wish you made more videos incorporating the Morphagene, it's so sick!
I've been looking into metal music this past week, trying to find some more that I'm interested in as I've never gotten into a lot of bands, but really like the stuff I have been into.
Worked more on buffer manipulations with the Holocene Non-Linear Memory Machine, learning what content works best and how to more seamlessly switch between the delay line being open and the closed granular playback mode, as they sound different.
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Definitely! The buffer type modules, whether it's the NLMM, the Phonogene, or the Morphagene, are all rewarding, but they all have different sounds and modalities.
This week I've been figuring out my setup for a gig on Saturday night. I'm using a microfreak, a minilogue xd, and a circuit tracks for sequencing and mixing, as well as my electric guitar. I discovered that my stereo loop pedal (boss rc3) can be used for two seperate channels, meaning I can run the minilogue through the "left side" and into the circuit for processing/fx while the guitar can go through the other side and into the guitar amp. This solves the issue of looping both my guitar and a synth but having only the guitar go through a guitar amp. Also, if means I can change the mix between the synth and the guitar loops, or take one out, bring it back etc. as well as perform with effects on them separately. This is going to take my semi-improvised looping voyages to the next level!
Awesome patch, Walker.❤ This week... I have been practicing on Mimeophon hold buffer, turning mono bass ratchet into pad with SKEW and short zone. Once bass is wide and fat, press hold, practice changing start point for chorus effect, and use wetness of effect to harmonize withother notes. And more Morphagene ratchet-dust to one-shot practice, continuing to work on sequencing strategies for fast sample drops during breaks. IMO Morphagene is the delay and Mimeophon is the sampler... Finally, I’ve been practicing no resonance QPAS, with audio rate bass into !! inputs, snare into !! inputs, noise into !!. I have named the left !! SLIMER and the right SCRATCHY
I’ve been exploring the minor 6th diminished and playing a lot of Monk on guitar, and in the modular world I’m trying to resolve the various ppq settings on a number of modules. Long overdo for a patch from scratch…
What I've been doing this week? I had great fun with Spectraphon and DivKid's mini RxMx, the Trace. Posting next week. Also made a QMMG Hunger Games reminder for forthcoming Black (and Gold) Monday and a video featuring something so new I can't yet tell what it is before it's released. Yeah, I've been making a lot of music this week. But that ain't working (that's the way ya do it).
Took a short field recording of a player piano and bounced it between my morph and an addac 112 a bunch of times until it was this massive textural pad chord drone thing. Super fun!
I've been trying to incorporate my Erbe-Verb into my performance case. I also had a very nice conversation with a Chickadee that was trying to eat at the feeder while I was grilling dinner. I'm not sure if they're thanking me for keeping the feeder filled or yelling at me to hurry up and finish with the grilling.
This week I re-built a purpose-built stand-alone Tape & Microsound Music Machine, including in particular a Panharmonium. I can do crazy granular microsounds and the PH builds a nice shifting bed of saw waves underneath. Having fun plugging a Gretsch Gin Rickey parlor guitar into it.
I used my XPO through the Spectraphon, then to QPAS, and then into my Blukac Endless processor. Maths is creating LFO’s for both the frequency knob of the QPAS as well as the CV input of the XPO. The Endless Processor catches random notes in the different layers, with can then create almost an odd melody. Then it is fed through Mimeophon for some extra beautiful smearing of the sound.
I performed original music with my new band for the first time, and played a 2nd set that evening of cover songs with some of my best friends. I also got my drums set up to be loop ready for my live streams.
I have started to edit the long sessions i recorded last year when i was trying to dive deeply into the modular rabbit hole ;), right now it's about some long pieces of Drones drifting into the the ether and some wicked beats processed through Strega .
Sound this week…..M15 patch with Silo and Blackhole. Traveling, so on the road with iPad. Steinway piano in a house sit thru Borderlands granular and Replicant3.
I re-arranged my case for the 100th time, got frustrated at my z8000 sequencer,.. but eventually did some nice experiments with my new DXG running a stereo oscillator through it
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC any chance you guys are ever gonna sell rack-ready versions of the 0-ctrl and 0-coast? I know you can hack your way through it, but i'd rather not have to
Picked up my monotron and had a quick noodle in the living room before heading out. As the delay rang out I stood imagining a scene from a 70’s thriller where the camera is panning out on me and my Kubrick stare, the point in the movie where I’m beginning to lose my mind. The only ones aware are the viewers and my Cat, who stared wondering what the noise was and why I’m stood like that.
I recorded a patch I've been working on. Kinda mindless ambient with swirls of distortion and frozen echos. Also I played finger drums on the belly of a boston terrier. She was unmoved by my performance.
Thank you for asking! I did not do much, but here goes: Walked 2 hours without an iPod for 2 hours for the first time in 20 years Listened to a lot of jazz on vinyl Realized I had been 4 months not patching anything at all, and had to remedy the situation, which I did with some satisfaction

I'm preparing for a land focused immersive performance with a visual artist here in Thunder Bay, Canada. All the materials, both visual and audio,are being locally sourced from Nature. I have a tape recording of a hike I took being controlled by the Landscape HC TT, that's fed into Strega and then all sent into Max/MSP where I'm using a convolution reverb witha impulse response of a local cave and heavily filtered sound of Lake Superior waves crashing against the shore.
Thanks for another great video, the microsound techniques sound very nice here! Also, I have been working on an allen strange vocal simulation from page 108. It makes excellent vowel sounds, but I am stumped on how to make consonants. -any ideas?
In my (limited) experience, consonants are pretty tough. I need to do some research! I wonder if between multiple filters and the SpectraNoise options we may have capability to some consonants in-system...
I noticed the wireless charger attached to the phone on my end table was making a repetitive noise, like one of its bearings was loose or something. Or like some piece of something elsewhere in the house was operating less than perfectly.
My refrigerator sometimes starts rattling the liquor bottles on top in unusual rhythms. Usually, it drives me or somebody crazy. Sometimes it only happens when somebody is walking by.
This was the best 1 minute of youtube I've ever watched. Maybe someday I'll watch the rest. Thanks!

It was a real treat, any sound in a cathedral is formidable but pipe organs exploit the space perfectly. And I learnt a bit more about EQ in cleanup.
I explored some lovely patches and evolving tones on my subharmonicon. It’s one of my favorite synths.
Cool! It's a good one

This sounds like a whole lot of fun - if any evidence of it makes it to the internet please share a link!
Hired a studio drummer to record tracks for the first time this week!
Awesome! Congrats!
Played a piano loop, granulized it using granulator 2 and processed it with strega for that droney, noisey shit!
That sounds like a great time!!
this week: tape manipulation through a chain of effects.
Fun times! times times

Listening to heavy winds move through a cabbage palm -
Wow that sounds great!!
Thanks for another great video, the microsound techniques sound very nice here!
Also, I have been working on an allen strange vocal simulation from page 108. It makes excellent vowel sounds, but I am stumped on how to make consonants. -any ideas?
In my (limited) experience, consonants are pretty tough. I need to do some research! I wonder if between multiple filters and the SpectraNoise options we may have capability to some consonants in-system...

I noticed the wireless charger attached to the phone on my end table was making a repetitive noise, like one of its bearings was loose or something. Or like some piece of something elsewhere in the house was operating less than perfectly.
My refrigerator sometimes starts rattling the liquor bottles on top in unusual rhythms. Usually, it drives me or somebody crazy. Sometimes it only happens when somebody is walking by.
I mixed a song for an album I am working on
Good job!
Re-made a Sukh Knight bass patch.
Been paying piano a lot
Same!
Recording 4"33 with an app in a forest in south Paris...
