"I've never been to Mexico City or Zócalo de Puebla, but I do know the feeling of sitting in a small city park, in a city full of parks—a brief moment of pause in the midst of a hectic megacity. I think about my day, the week gone by, the month, the year. A rare moment of stillness. "As I listened to the recording, I wondered how the soundscape of Zócalo de Puebla has changed over the years, just as Delhi's has. The sparrows from my childhood are long gone, but I still hear peacocks in the distance, their calls drowned out by the sound of grinding stone and the constant hum of construction. Even in the parks, there is little respite. But I am hopeful. Soon I'll be sitting in Puebla, listening to the birds go about their business and children calling out to their friends, as if nothing has changed. "To create the piece, I ran the field recording through multiple iterations of envelope followers, processing each layer differently. Some layers were then played through a Buchla Music Easel, creating an organic synergy between the birds of Zócalo and my synthesizer here in Delhi. I wanted to link the two cities through memory and sound." Historic Centre of Puebla reimagined by Songs for a Tired City. ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

The Galaxy Electric are Augustus and Jacqueline - a husband/wife duo based in the US - who are obsessed with early electronic music that utilized magnetic tape to create new sounds no one had ever heard before! Together, they blend influences from 60s Psych pop and Retro Sci-Fi to make "Cosmic Tape Music.” Using Buchla style synthesizers, Reel to Reel and Cassette tape machines, a Mellotron, a Korg Delta and various effects devices sprinkled with ethereal vocals they take their listeners on a cosmic journey. When their debut album, "Everything is Light and Sound" was released on vinyl, they were hailed as "one of the most original and intriguing bands to emerge in the music scene within the last year." They spent a lot of time on the road opening for bands like Lake Ruth and Welsh artist Gwenno. And now have returned to the studio for their second full length album, “Tomorrow Was Better Yesterday.” “Tomorrow Was Better Yesterday” is the first album we have ever recorded that was fully and completely improvised. We recorded to 1/4" Analog Tape without any digital recording magic (overdubs, edits, tuning etc). We spent a year practicing this new improvisational style before we turned on the tape machine. But once we did, we recorded every day for a month. And when we listened back - we realized we had created a space age fantasy album - with an incredible story; a soundtrack to a time traveling space voyage.In order to honor the recording process of this album - we knew we had to find a way to release it on Reel to Reel tape with the most amazing artwork and packaging - to create a unique Collector's Item worthy of the voyage. With the help of Dead Media Tapes, we will be able to do just that!”Pre-Order “Tomorrow Was Better Yesterday”https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1511715045/the-galaxy-electric-is-releasing-new-music-on-reel-to-reel?fbclid=IwAR1fOryUb5reu4pkW47M7mqQBoVMehsuvp94jPIqd16XYqXQSVqvIDBWKXI  Our website:www.thegalaxyelectric.comSocial Links: https://www.facebook.com/thegalaxyelectrichttps://www.instagram.com/thegalaxyelectric/https://twitter.com/galaxyelctrchttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6DhuaWCSugIiyHlxE7vsBA Playlist and description:“Tomorrow Was Better Yesterday” Album Trailer Premiere: this is a collage of the tracks from our forthcoming full length album release. We are hosting a kickstarter for the project to fund releasing the album on cassette and REEL to REEL!Tomorrow Was Better Yesterday Single: One of our favorite songs off of the new album. This song was completely improvised straight to 1/4” tape and features heavy use of the Buchla Music Easel among other synths and effects. Buchla Coconut: A song off of our debut album Everything is Light and Sound. This song was performed exclusively on the Buchla Music Easel along with some found sounds. Calm Down: A song off of our debut album Everything is Light and Sound. This song was our first instance of using the Buchla Music Easel in a track. Relaxation Tapes: The first song off of our debut album Everything is Light and Sound. It’s a collage piece that sets the stage nicely for the Buchla Cosmic Drone track to follow. Buchla Cosmic Drone 5-24-20: This is the 20th long form improvised meditative drone we performed on May 24, 2020. It features a small Buchla system featuring clones of the 257, 259, 266, 280, and 292 as well as 1979’s Digital Resonator. It also features Jacqueline’s voice run through 2 Boss RE-20 space echo pedals. 

Tyresta is the experimental music project of social worker and musician Nick Turner.  Nick is based in Chicago, Illinois and makes music utilizing various instruments including Buchla Music Easel, eurorack modular, mellotron, and guitar.  He also helps behind the scenes with the ambient, drone, and experimental music labels Past Inside the Present and sub-label Fallen Moon Recordings.    You can find his music on Bandcamp or through your streaming service of choice.   Piece description:  I wrote and recorded "Facing Ourselves" during the Coronavirus shelter-in-place order in April 2020.  Outside of my life in music, I am a mental health therapist so I have directly witnessed what happens when people (myself included) are forced to give up certain routines and distractions and face themselves.  The four parts of "Facing Ourselves" sort of represent the various emotional states that both I and the people I work with have gone through since the Coronavirus outbreak.  Though at times uneasy and tense, there have been moments of deep love and connection, which has been interesting to witness and experience.   Like many people, when working with the Easel, I can get lost in shaping sounds for hours on end.  With each of these pieces, I was working with both the Easel and various effects  (Strymon Timeline, Strymon BigSky, and Valhalla reverb) in order to land on sounds that adequately represented the emotions/feelings I wanted to evoke in the listener.  Effects, both in and outside of the box, help inform my approach to sound design and also assist in determining the direction I go in with certain patches on the Easel (timbres, waveshapes, tempo, envelope shapes, etc.).   Mastered by Nathan Moody at Obsidian Sound.

In this discussion, the generous spirit of Todd Barton shines. This life-long musician, synthesist, composer, sound designer and national treasure shares how he really has spent his whole life following the sound. Featuring exclusive tracks and a great jouney into the mind of one of the most active and deep listeners I have ever known, this is a discussion I had only dreamed of when I started this podcast.

Kyle Swisher is Dark Sparkler. He is releasing an album of tracks made with a Buchla Music Easel recorded to reel to reel. Pre-order here: https://darksparkler.bandcamp.com/releases

Fabienne Erato - aka the danish sound designer and composer Anne Gry Kristensen - creates a meditative, profound and evocative kind of music that seem to come from a deep abyss, where a not-yet-known conscience started navigating her own existence. Far away from the surface and its laws, her music recreates time and its rules. It slows down seconds, until it forges a calm disoriented feeling, where you both get lost and find yourself again. Her debut album, that has been composed on a Buchla Music Easel and captured on a portable tape recorder, will be out on wonderful Pomperipossa Records on May 24th. On this mixtape, Erato created a pleasant soundscape putting her own music together with all the best you can think of. Tracks: 1) Halim El-Dabh - Michael and the Dragon 2) Popol Vuh - In den Gärten Pharaos * 3) Anna Von Hausswolff - Källan (prototype), live in Lincoln Cathedral * 4) Tape-recording of the thunders of Armilla Jungle. 5) Alejandro Jodorowsky - Rainbow Room, Holy Mountain 6) Heresy of the Free Spirit feat. Keiji Haino - Prayer of Quiet * 7) Erna - Lygtemænd * 8) Jon hassell and Brian Eno - Delta Rain Dream 9) Craig Leon - Three Small Coins 10) Iasos - Osiris Bull-Man 11) Fabienne Erato - Side B * 12) Caroline Park - Merge 13) Tape-recording from the ocean of Agadir. * Sample from the song

In this episode Todd Barton takes us on a musical and literary journey back to 1985 when he worked with Ursula K. Le Guin, famous for the EarthSea novels. Todd Barton created the musical score for Ursula’s fascinating novel, Always Coming Home, which focuses on a people that might have lived a long time ago in Northern California, and the book came with a cassette tape of music, songs and poems for The Kesh co-created by Ursula and Todd. The music for Always Coming was originally created using authentic acoustic instruments and Todd’s Roland Jupiter 8. Unfortunately he sold the Jupiter 8 many years ago, so has re-created the sounds from the track Music of the 8th House using the Buchla Music Easel.

Kurt Kurasaki is an electronic music composer based in Northern California. While his preferred instruments are the vintage Buchla Music Easel and Buchla 200/200e system, he is versed in wide array of synthesizers and electronic composition techniques. Kurt’s professional associations include work with notable music companies such as Dave Smith Instruments, Rossum Electro-Music, and Propellerhead Software. Recently he has focused his efforts into producing and recording experimental works that incorporate modular synthesizers and prepared tape materials. The piece presented here is a live recording at the “Modular On The Spot” event held during Moogfest on May 21, 2017 in Durham, North Carolina. The composition, titled Buchla Abstractions for Morphagene, is based on recordings created with Buchla synthesizers, but is performed on a Eurorack system comprised of Rossum Electro-Music, Make Noise, and Audio Damage Modules.

Kris Dirksen has scoring credits including Mad Max: Fury Road, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Banshee and the most recently hit Cinemax series Quarry. In this episode, Kris shares his creative synth process for scoring to picture, the origins of the Buchla Music Easel, and how he used it for the dark, grinding, evolving soundtrack in the critically acclaimed Cinemax series, Quarry.
