Northern Techno's Alex Glass writes about this driving techno mix for CDM, produced in Ukraine on the eve of the war:
"Hard techno for hard times. So it happened I recorded this mix literally a few hours before the war, at the very beginning of that fateful night on February 24, at the dawn of which Putin's troops launched an invasion of Ukraine. Thus, it turned out to be a kind of bridge between the usual normal and peaceful life and that terrifying new reality, where instead of a beat, the sounds of shots sound, and the sky is illuminated not by strobe lights, but by flashes of rockets falling. At the moment, music remains for me the main and most important outlet, allowing me not to go crazy from everything that happens. I hope that this mix will make the mood of some of the listeners at least a little better. Thank you for your attention. Fuck war. Invaders must die. Support Ukraine & love each other."
Kotra is a moniker and main art project of Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist Dmytro Fedorenko – one of the earliest and most prolific pioneers of Ukrainian experimental electronic music.
We're pleased to welcome him back to CDM with a full-length interview - check it on the site.
To demonstrate how much diversity a single ring mod/FM patch can create, we messed around with parameters - just adjusting tuning, sync, and filter. You can hear that single patch can produce a range of timbres - some you'll love, some you'll hate, but plenty to choose from musically. Thanks to Lars Hemmerling for the inspiration.

CDM premieres "Kapitel 36" from Jan Wagner's upcoming Kapitel [Quiet Love, 20 March 2020]. It's personal, gorgeous ambient piano electronica, set to feature in a unique live performance at the Berlin Zeiss-Grossplanetarium on Sunday 9 February. Full story on CDM:

Collaborative performances of the 2018 class of the MusicMakers Hacklab Sunday 4 February 2018 HAU2 Berlin CTM Festival 2018 - Turmoil
Co-facilitated by Peter Kirn, Ioann Maria
Performance outcomes, complete, recorded at HAU2 theater in Berlin
The CTM MusicMakers Hacklab is a weeklong open, collaborative laboratory hosted by Peter Kirn of Create Digital Music. Now entering its 6th edition within the CTM Festival, the 2018 Hacklab brought on co-host Ioann Maria to reflect on the promise and danger of artificial intelligence and machine learning in music under “The Hacked Mind” theme. Four Input talks were programmed during the Hacklab week, to give Hacklab fellows and interested audiences a few possible points of entry into in theme. Fellows worked on new musical ideas and inventions all week, presenting their work at the Hacklab Finale on CTM 2018’s closing Sunday.
The CTM 2018 MusicMakers Hacklab was presented with Native Instruments and SHAPE, which is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.

Having some fun with iZotope's Möbius Filter plug-in, which combines a filter with the impression of ever-rising Shepard Tones (the "barber pole" effect in sound). One of our favorite plug-ins of the year.

All MeeBlip anodes now shipping include a special wavetable mode. Here's what they sound like.
With 16 new wavetables, tap into rough-and-raw 16-bit single-cycle waveforms like blended sawtooth, granular, and FM, plus glitchy bit-reduced and distorted sounds for a whole new variety of sounds. And as we are open source, that firmware is now up on our GitHub site.
Hold down MIDI select on the back when powering up, and unlock new sounds. Choose the sweep switch to change banks, then turn "width" to select one of the wavetables.
Binaural recordings of the Spatial Sound Hacklab we hosted at 4DSOUND during ADE, in collaboration with Fiber, Liine, and Ableton. These are rough recordings of a live performance; as they're binaural, headphones are required - also available in conventional stereo. You'll of course be unable to hear most of the effects here, but have some rough idea of the musical content of this project, created in just two days.

During Amsterdam Dance Event the 4DSOUND team invited Peter Kirn (CDM), Ableton, Liine and ourselves to realise an inspiring 2-day hack-session. Embedded within a larger programme at the Compagnietheater, 25 sound creators had the opportunity to explore the 4DSOUND system, work on spatial sound composing and finally perform their work.

MeeBlip anode owner Andrius Mamontovas sent us this rather wicked creation - produced with our MeeBlip anode synth and nothing else. Lovely work.
He writes: "I immediately recorded a little piece of music with it. All the sounds are generated with Anode Meeblip. I just slightly added some reverb, delay, gate, compression and EQ."
The fact that it comes from one of Lithuania's greatest rock musicians is just icing on the cake. (Andrius Mamontovas has had a terrific solo career, among other things, and is also the founder of Foje.)
Moog Music’s Steve Dunnington agreed to make some noises with his creation for us at Moogfest. This kit, available exclusively to those with Engineer VIP passes, was assembled during the course of the festival. Sharing some of the architecture of the Moog Minitaur, it has an incredible amount of power in that one oscillator.
Recorded without processing.
Moog engineer Gene Stopp talks about the thinking behind the recreation of Keith Emerson's Moog Modular system.

Chris from Novation played these sound samples for us live as we got our hands on the prototype of the BassStation II analog synth. It's a really lovely instrument, but be forewarned that the firmware is still being finalized, so some sounds may change. Here, we asked Chris to go a little crazy (and did so ourselves) on the sounds for some of the more out-there noises you can coax from the instrument.
From Musikmesse 2013; as always, more at createdigitalmusic.com and we look forward to the finished instrument.

Sine + Square Create Digital Music + DE:BUG Chat
DE:BUG's Benjamin Weiss and createdigitalmusic.com's Peter Kirn go head to head with each other to pit the new Korg MS-20 mini against a vintage original. Korg has remade their classic 1978 design in a new model that claims to recreate the original's circuitry and sound. The two editors get to talk about what makes this special, and share some experiments in sound comparison.
Sound samples and chat.
In the sound samples, listen first for the original MS-20, followed by the mini.

Stephen Cornford & Paul Whitty’s performance "it pays my way and it corrodes my soul" seeks out musical material by physically dismembering playback equipment. A reel-to-reel tape recorder is switched on and its mechanism amplified with a variety of microphones while it is taken to pieces. The sounds produced are then fed through an array of pedals: the machine’s belts, gears, switches and casing becoming an instrument subjected to a live audio autopsy

A review of recent music technology news and trends - first experiment in what we hope will be a regular series, so be gentle, but give us feedback.

MeeBlip synth + LFO set to square wave, routed to pitch + LFO randomization + filter with resonance kicked up = evil basslines.
Recorded with the Moogerfooger Filtatron app, which - with unneeded effects turned off - becomes a really handy mobile recording solution.

A demo of a bassline, performed and recorded entirely on the MeeBlip - no processing whatsoever, just the MeeBlip's sound at work
By MeeBlip creator James Grahame
Sound samples from MeeBlip, the hackable, open-source digital synthesizer designed by James Grahame.
Just some raw samples - no effects, no processing, no sequencing. Playing a live MIDI keyboard input into a single MeeBlip, and seeing what blippery happens.
Listen for the MeeBlip's two-oscillator virtual analog goodness, LFO, oscillator noise and distortion (some of which gives it a decidedly chippy air), etc.
