A New series of recordings from Conny Planktons sees new arrangements of the old and the new – in this case, it is the Bass Station Rack dusted off and synced into various sequencers and VST Synths. Into the melee came loops and treated samples to bring you a series of Mixes that range from the rhythmic to the atonal, the abstract to the complex.

Rising Waves
March 2025 sees a new series of recordings and mixes from Conny Plankton: Based loosely around continued explorations with the Vital VST Synth, this quickly evolved into working alongside and syncing up with various other VST Synths and a range of different hardware devices: the results range from thumping beats, to evolving sequencer patterns, to aethereal drones. Go for it!

Vitality
Vital is the key word in this new series of recordings: Vital Vital Vital! Loosely based around a common theme of exploring use of the Vital Soft Synth, this soon evolved and expanded to encourage syncing with other Soft Synths and working alongside hardware synths such as the Roland Tweak, the Crave Desktop Synth and the Nifty Eurorack set up. Lot of of different styles and approaches in here folks!

Of The New
The first recordings of 2025 sees Conny Plankton working with new versions of DAWs and VSTs in a series of sonic explorations – a frequent player was the Arturia Keystep 37 – used to set up ARPs and sequences and generally keep various VST Synths in sync. Into the melee came hardware devices such as the Roland S1 Tweak Synth, the Neutron Desktop Synth and the Nifty Eurorack Set up. The Final Mixes range from beat driven onslaughts to dark ambient soundscapes, to abstract dystopian drone explorations. And that's only the first track...

There Be Strange
The final Conny Plankton album of 2024 sees a new series of recordings and mixes of further explorations with the Arturia Keystep 37 Controller and Sequencer – now put to use in arranging various VST Synths, but also controlling sequences and arps alongside hardware devices such as the Nifty Eurorack Set up and the Roland MC505 Groovebox. Throughout all of this are suitably eclectic samples and loops, together with filters and effects in abundance.

37
A new series of recordings from Conny Plankton sees the introduction of the Arturia Keystep 37 Synth into the fold and a series of explorations of sequences, loops and Arps with a range of different VST Synths. Into the party came the Nifty Eurorack set up, the Roland MC505 Groovebox and additional loops and samples. A bit of everything in here folks!

Curlew
A new series of recordings sees a series of mixes and explorations based around the use of two new modules in the Nifty Eurorack system – an envelope follower to sync up external sound sources direct into Eurorack and a vector based wavetable module to allow manipulation of sequences and oscillators. Of course, into this were woven suitably esoteric samples, beats and sequences, VST Synths and different hardware devices. The final mixes span a whole series of approaches and styles, but with the Conny Plankton stamp of the oddball odd. Let madness reign and chaos prevail!
