"The field recording that I worked with is from 2016 and was captured by Maria Margaronis. It contains the voice of Mohammed, one of the many refugees who were stuck in a makeshift camp in Greece, as they were trying to make their way up north into central Europe. I wasn't aware of this incident back then so I did a little digging and read a few news articles about the situation of the refugees and camps in Eidomeni and was very sad to find out about how men, women and children had to put up with terrible living conditions and endure bad weather conditions. It also made me reflect on the current situation in Palestine and how so many people are displaced and forced to leave their homes just to survive. Not much has changed in the last 8 years. "But what stood out to me about this particular story, was how determined these people were to reach their destination. Despite the Balkan Corridor being shut, being stuck without proper roofs over their heads and access to food and water, they remained hopeful and refused to go back. Even though Mohammed's voice and story is sad, I wanted to compose a 'hopeful' and visual piece for this project. "I wanted to keep the field recording as is for the most part, but I treated it like spoken word or poetry - where I repeated certain lines/phrases to add emphasis. I also used some subtle vocal effects to distort his voice. "The arrangement begins with a kind of droning bass playing the same note repeatedly without change - representing being stuck. In the background there are sounds of thunder, which were created using FM synthesis. "I really wanted to record an acoustic piano for this project and reached out my friend Samantha who gladly agreed to help me write and perform a piano arrangement. The piano had a noisy sustain pedal, which we initially found hard to work with but decided to record anyway. Later on we thought about how naturally lo-fi it sounded - being slightly out of tune combined with the squeaky pedal was growing on us. We both agreed that it fit the emotion and story (reminded us of the 2002 movie: The Pianist). "I also wrote and programmed synthesiser parts: an ascending melody to represent the refugees moving up towards Europe and another melody that adds a feeling of slight uncertainty. One was recorded on a Korg Minilogue through a TC Electronics reverb unit and the other was on a modular synth in VCV Rack. "Towards the end of the piece, there are sounds of rain which were also synthesised electronically. I designed it to sound as if the raindrops were falling on tents instead of the ground to introduce a different POV." Chios migrant recording reimagined by Arozian with Samantha Hannan.

Thin, weedy, with his own afro hair that is a kind of tribute to the black roots of a sound shared by funk and house, which make him look like a mushroom cloud! That's the way in which we love to describe him while he is playing sacred and deep grooves. @giacomopellegrino is part of that particular category of people that really knows very well the meaning of the word passion. He received his “Calling” to djing when he was only fourteen. Son of a musician, following his father around to every concert, visiting the most important clubs and venues of Sicily. Thanks to that experience, he developed a true passion for music and clubbing and, later, for djing. Despite still being too young to perform at night as a DJ, Giacomo started to arrange a few shows for friends, playing sets focused on dance music from the 70's and the 80's, his first musical love. A few years later, his style became a “monolith” of dance and funk, house and tech. Giacomo has his hand in every aspect of the music scene. He also founded his own record label called @detroitside, which is dedicated to the very passionate vinyl and DJ community. A label that promotes quality over quantity in the house and techno segment. Artist's such as @delano_smith,@bassaclan, @dixia-sirong, @enricomantini, Franck Roger, @julien-sandre, @nick-beringer, @monika-ross, Moreon & Baffa, Ocu, @samofdelaphine! have all released tracks on his imprint. Giacomo doesn't stop there though as he cultivates his own nights in the local area that are ardent about presenting some of the best dance music around in the most optimal and premier environments possible. Still, Giacomo finds time to be a highly regarded producer with releases on a myriad of top-class labels like Purism Wave, Signatune Records, Carac Records, AvantRoots, Vibe Experience, hello strange, Deep Freaks, Greyscale records among others. Heavily influenced by classic sounds of yesterday while thinking about the future of electronic music has inevitably crossed over to his production side working in a heavily analog and modified setup. Analog Four, Roland SH101, Korg Electribe, Korg Minilogue and Jomox Alpha Base are the main pieces he uses. Processing and effects duties come courtesy of Lexicon and Boss while his 24 track Allen Heath console fine tunes the final product for last step before mastering. This is just the foundation of what has been and where Giacomo is currently. In the near future expect big things from Giacomo Pellegrino, he is just hitting his stride. Sray Rave with #R13!
The Garden - это четвертый альбом вокалистки, пианистки и композитора Rachel Eckroth, и первый выпущенный на питерском лейбле Rainy Days, попал в номинанты на GRAMMY 2022. Муж и басист Tim Lefebvre, не только продюсер, но и является соавтором композиций, которые они сочинили во время пандемии, вместе поливая свой сад мечты. Отдельное спасибо за обложку, которая выполнена в полном соответствии с музыкой - картина маслом с сюрреалистиными цветами и птичка в виде бабочки, порхающая над этим великолепным садом. Восемь треков не похожих друг на друга, но гармонично сочетающихся в пространстве этой замечательной картины с яркими футуристическими красками. Мы просто хотим делать эту странную музыку, которую мы слышим. Это смело, потому что мы просто делаем то, что делаем. Нам не нужно выпендриваться, мы просто хотим играть то, что нам нравится. Музыка в этом альбоме является разнообразной экосистемой, выращенной из семян моих музыкальных приключений.

HNY everyone!! Well we're half way into January already and NAMM the big Music Convention in Anaheim California is on this Weekend. I thought it would be appropriate to look at the Korg Minilogue XD one of my favourite Synthesizers of last year!! Check this thing out it sounds absolutely amazing!!!!Subscribe to Emlyn In The Mix on YOUTUBE for more Videos of product reviews, Djing, Mixing etc... http://www.youtube.com/user/emlynwakg...Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/officialemlynInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/emlyn_music/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/emlynmusic/Twitter - https://twitter.com/official_emlyn
Multi-instrumentalist musician Anthony Thogmartin of Papadosio [band], EarthCry [solo project], and Seed to Stage [music production tutorials] joins us for the first time since Episode 10 to talk about navigating the exponentially expanding body of human knowledge, how interfacing with different media technologies yields new minds and selves at the intersection, and the profound creative evolution he and his band have undergone by embracing tools like Ableton Live. For the ten-plus years I’ve known him, Anthony’s optimism and enthusiasm have inspired me to seize the day and strive for new horizons, and whether or not you make music I have no doubt this conversation will inspire you as well.Future Fossils Podcast is entirely listener-supported.

Earthcry’s concept album Identity Mitosis and its multimedia storytelling about a conversation between AI and Gaia long after the extinction of humankind.What does the future look like without us?Living at the bottleneck between the complexity of the micro and the macro.The self as a plural ecosystem and the conscience as the voice of various unconscious neural motifs erupting into consciousness.Awakening as the abandoning of episodic autobiographic memory and the vice grip of the default mode network.The egoic self as a kind of electrical phenomenon, and possibly a kind of auxiliary or emergency preservation mode (not our natural state of balanced health).Metabolic ontology and the possibility of reality itself changing with the states of the extended body-mind in psychogenic networks.The cybernetic self and how performing music is also being a part of the music technology ecosystem.The dependency of thought on the mediation of technology…handwriting vs. typing, etc., and how different selves emerge in different contexts.Polarization and our refusal to understand one another.Generation gaps in technological fluency.Is the Universal Translator not RUNNING Starfleet?Letting Ableton Live take over Papadosio.YouTube vs. Instagram.Moore's Law and miniaturization in music performance, and moving with the current of technological evolution rather than against it.Michael’s open call to developers to help us create software for controlling music and visuals simultaneously with a gestural interface in virtual reality……and Anthony’s disclaimers about why this hasn’t happened yet.Augmented reality versus virtual reality and how evolution is co-evolving with the human body and mind (not just people adapting to technology).What matters depends on the scale at which you’re paying attention.Future Fossils Theme Music:“God Detector” by Evan “Skytree” Snyder feat.

Conecto mis teclados por MIDI no solo para utilizar sonidos de ambos desde uno solo sino también para una función que me resulta muy útil: seleccionar programas. Con este método solo tengo que preparar el repertorio para un solo teclado que este elegirá el preset en el otro. En mi caso lo hago desde un Nord Stage 2ex (que utilizaré como maestro) a un sintetizador Korg Minilogue, pero se puede hacer con cualquier otro teclado, simplemente sabiendo como configurarlo en el vuestro. Si aún no conocéis el poder de un cable MIDI estáis tardando en ir a comprar uno :) Links Patch base: http://bit.ly/2ARPK5U Nord Sound Manager: http://bit.ly/2Mr1rFV Cables midi en Thomman: http://bit.ly/2AVERzT Cables midi en MadridHIFI: http://bit.ly/33cvzvB Y ya de paso algo de promo ;-) Nostalghia en Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2P5KnIo Xiaomi HiFi Hybrid Flagship Earphones http://bit.ly/32ALvru Launchpad: http://bit.ly/2Pg47JL Download Festival: http://bit.ly/33Y6uFb Contacto @cablesyteclas cablesyteclas@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cablesyteclas/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cablesyteclas/support

Today's live recording was done using the Korg Minilogue, sent through an Earthquaker Dispatch Master and an Electro Hamonix Memory Man - both of which are wonderful pedals. Have a great weekend and we'll see you next week!
We catch up with Rich who's in Toronto prior to a gig with Chic, and we tackle the new Behringer analog synth teasers, then the Eventide H910 classic harmonizer as a plug-in, HaQ AttaQ's mobile setup, the Arturia Matrixbrute filters get a workout, Spitfire Audio's Union Chapel Organ instrument, Korg Minilogue librarian and UK Producers Sound pack and a chat about patch management, and finally Gaz gives us a description of using Melodyne 4 for the ultimate tempo mapping.

Creative ways to combine the sonic awesomeness of analog synths, with the flexibility and resources of a digital audio workstation. Demonstrated with a Korg Minilogue and Logic Pro X, these principles could be applied to many other combinations.
