The Experimental Music Mondays series at the Kitty Cat Klub concludes this Monday, August 30 with a familiar lineup and newcomer Ten72 (Nils Westdal). Regulars Ostracon (John Keston and Graham O’Brien) and Terr the Om (Nathan Brende) are playing as well as my new unnamed trio Davis-Glenn-Keston . It is shaping up to be a fun and delightful evening of experimental music. Music will start b...

A Ramleh a nyolcvanas évek elején a power electronics pionírjának számított, majd stílusuk fokozatosan alakult a Skullflowert is megihlető pszichedelikus noise-on keresztül no wave/noise rock irányba, míg 1998-ban fel nem oszlottak. Azonban, tavaly év végén újra megjelent a Hole in the Heart két CD-s változatban, és a csapat decemberben friss lemezzel is jelentkezett. A Valedictionön Gary Mundy ol...
Something I have been meaning to do for a while was convert the MaxMSP instrument that I titled the Wavetable Glitch Machine (WTGM) into a Max for Live patch. The WTGM uses a TouchOSC interface running on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to explore samples using granular techniques as well as a virtual scrub dial with friction modeling. Visit the WTGM tag to read more and view a video of it in...

Recently I built a Posc (Pocket Oscillator by Sonodrome ) and discussed it in this entry with an audio example. Shortly afterward I built the circuit into a cardboard box and used the instrument in a number of performances and recording sessions. Now I have disassembled my beloved cardboard box and created a new instrument for an upcoming dance performance. This updated prototype is made from a...
A Burning Star Core-ról és C. Spencer Yehről az előző posztban már volt szó; ide csak annyit írnék, hogy az első hallgatások után ez tűnik az eddigi legjobb BSC lemeznek.
Lately, as you might have noticed, I’m attracted to synthesizers that don’t necessarily use keyboards for input. The Korg Monotron is a $60.00 battery operated true analog synthesizer with a ribbon controller and five knobs to control pitch, LFO rate / intensity, and VCF cutoff / peak. For more details checkout this article on Synthtopia.com .

I’m currently working on a sound design project for a client who is looking for a way to generate specific sorts of sounds using easy to understand controls. I started by creating a frequency modulated drone generator. The tool has a mixer with six preset pitches plus noise. I also included amplitude modulation, with sliders to control the amount, LFO, and a frequency multiplier to allow for FM sy...
Fully half the top 10 most popular posts on Disquiet.com in the past month were not MP3 downloads (out of a total of 44 posts in April). It’s always a little rewarding to know people are checking out the site for something other than free music. These entries include: (1) the second in a series of probings of George Prochnik ’s new book, In Pursuit of Silence: Listening for Meaning in a World...
This weekend I built a POSC Pocket Oscillator by Sonodrome as a prototype sound design element for an interactive dance collaboration. The circuit is incredibly simple, as you can see by the photo, but the variety of sounds possible with the two pulse wave oscillators is impressive. The first oscillator is controlled by by the players skin resistance between two zinc plated contacts, while the s...
What good is a Weird Sound Generator if you’re not using it to make weird sounds? Sometimes it is nice to just hold it on your lap and stroke it gently. That aside, it’s quiet useful once you plug it in and start twiddling the knobs. Here’s a piece I created by tuning the each of the four oscillators on the WSG and then fiddled with the filters. At the same time I made some adjustments to a phas...
