Here’s another microtrack for the dance project I’m working on in collaboration with Annichia Arts. This is a glitchy experiment I produced with the Roland MKS-80 while holding down a dark, dense, jazz chord.

Low-Gain Live at Honey, Minneapolis
Although I have weeks worth of back-logged synthesizer sounds of my own I am honored to defer today’s entry into One Synthesizer Sound Every Day to Logan Erickson, otherwise known as Low-Gain. At my request Logan played the closing party for the Eyeo Festival along with Eskimo Spy and Ostracon, so I can claim partial responsibility for his work that evening. But all the credit for these searing, synthetic soundscapes goes to master-modular-meistro Low-Gain himself. Isaac Halvorson was on hand to record the night, and Logan has shared his set for us all to enjoy repeatedly. Click here to download, or listen below.
In/Out Festival 2011 Open Call for Submissions
The In/Out Festival of Digital Performance is happening soon and the organizers have recently opened their call for submissions. Last year when Ostracon performed at the festival we had a great time and really enjoyed the speakers and performers curated for the event. Here are the details from the In/Out site.
Performers
In/Out is searching for musicians, visual artists, dancers, and performers who have integrated digital technologies into their work. From building custom controllers or software to the users of new technology, we want to hear from you! Submit a brief description of your performance along with a sample of your work.All written materials must be in PDF format. Also, if available, please include hyperlinks to all multi-media materials (ie: videos of performances, demos, audio samples, etc…)
Workshops + Lectures
Help motivate the vanguard by leading a workshop in new media for audio/video performance. Past workshops have included: works in Jitter and Reaktor, building soft circuits, code driven music composition with Processing, a lecture on glitch and it’s use in art, how to run an open source business, and more. In/Out is especially interested in hands on, kit based, and introductory workshops. Please submit a brief description of what you would like to teach or share, along with any work you have done, are doing, or will do in the field.All written materials must be in PDF format. Also, if available, please include hyperlinks to all multi-media materials (ie: videos of performances, demos, instructionals, etc…)

All submissions can be sent to: submissions@inoutfest.org
Here’s a segment of sound from the Ostracon set at last years in/Out festival.

Arpeggiator High Note Glitch
I discovered this glitch while attempting to get my Bitstream 3X controller configured to handle sending MIDI notes and sysex from Ableton to my MKS-80. For testing purposes I setup several complex routing schemes. Some of them worked better than others, but this one in particular create an odd smattering of notes several octaves above the notes that were meant to be playing. Presumably I’ll resolve this eventually, but I’ve learned to capture these glitches when I discover them since they often have interesting qualities worth exploring.

Synthesizer Noise Jam #5
This segment from an extended noise jam was recorded while my Super Jupiter was still in disrepair, although quite capable of creating dark and frightening experimental noise textures. I added some stereo imaging as well as delay and reverb to enhance the dystopian nightmare.
