My first performance in twenty-five years

My first performance in twenty-five years

2008-10-12 by Richard Brewster

I took the portable cabinets out yesterday and they lived up to their 
promise.  I've posted an entry on my website describing the outing, 
which includes for the first time a few pictures of the reclusive 
"artist" (me).  I recorded the whole performance (two 10-minute pieces) 
and these are available for download.  This old man's analog modular 
sound was well-received by the mostly twenty-somethings in the audience, 
which was comprised chiefly of the other performers on the bill.  Some 
of the other acts were surprisingly good, I thought.

Thank you, Stephen.  I am still trying to figure out how to document 
patches.  Verbal descriptions aren't very good.  Pencil and paper 
versions aren't easy to replicate without a scanner.  I have a drawing 
program that I use to make circuit schematics with and I'll give that 
another try.

what I found out for myself is, that many patches need sort of an  
adjustment procedure to get them work.
just following the numbers and the patch routes often doesn't do the  
job for me.
and at least this part is done best verbally, from my humble POV.
the patching itself I write down in a form like

   NOISE(white) -> 440(IN1/5.4)
   LFO1(tri) -> VCO1(EFM/1.6)
                 -> VCO2(LFM/3.2)
   ADSR(+out) -> MMIX(IN1/5)

etc.
Admittedly I don't wrtite down that many patches, since improvisation  
is the big portion of our work ...

  :-)  Michael.
