#xmas2014

During Musikmesse 2014 I had the great pleasure to meet up with the guys from Bastl Instruments. http://www.bastl-instruments.com A small company from Brno in Czech Republic. They showed me how their new Trinity boxes worked. And they also gave me a demo of their brand new Micro Granny 2, a totally cool granular sampler worth checking out. They are sort of low level, glitchy, digital synths, making sounds that are very unique in these days. We had a nice talk, and they opened up and started talking about their heritage and the old Czech electronic scene that they hope will rise again :)

The Continuum is something that I've been following with great interest. It's an extremely sensitive and accurate digital instrument, designed to be an extension of your fingers really. It's not an on-off synth. The Continuum almost feels like an acoustic instrument, in that it is just as (or in a way more) sensitive as, say.. a chello. All the sounds are designed to respond to your fingertips, continous pressure, pitch and Y-position changes.

The sound engine(s) itself is extremely impressive with a powerful Physical Modelling part, and also a beautiful FM implementation. I wish for them to be taken more seriously, and to get into the spotlight so that they could enter mass production at some stage. As of now, it is built and assembled specifically for each order, and thus has a pretty high price tag.

You can hear that for a newbie like me it'll take a great deal of practice to get the tune right, and if you don't have proper monitoring it'll be extremely difficult to stay in tune. But when Ed was playing you can hear that with years of practice you'll become the instrument.

This is that kind of instrument. An instrument to get attatched to.

I was at Musikmesse 2014 in Frankfurt and had the chance to play live with Dataline. These are live improvisations, and we're playing for the first time together - so be nice, mind you ;-)

My cover song, and video remix of Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball. Because too many people dis her, I made this remix.
