The Lord Of Misrule

 A special Conny Plankton Christmas Mix to round off 2025: The idea for this mix developed while transcribing and editing a series of old MiniDisc recordings. In amongst the Field Recordings were a series of long recordings made with my Family over various Christmases some 20 years or so ago: Brass Bands and Shopper crowds were rearranged and intermixed with sequencer patters and additional textures from the Repro-1 and Hive VST Synths. The Final Mix is a disorienting soundscape of distant brass instruments, subliminal voices and sequencer synths. Merry Christmas Folks!

Most Peculiar

 Conny Plankton releases a new series of recordings to hear out 2025 in style: Sequencer-led voyages, atonal explorations and rhythmic mayhem coalesce with the warped stamp of Plankton: Expect Eurorack systems, VST Synths, banks of filters and effects, Bass Station Racks and BassLine Synths, interwoven and intermixed in a world most peculiar.

Lest

 November ov 2025 sees a new series of recordings from the warped brian of Conny Plankton. Loosely based around a series of explorations with the Repro 1 and Repro 5 VST Synth from UHE – however, this quickly evolved and expanded to included syncing to other VST Synths and the Nifty Eurorack system, together with numerous loops, samples, filters and effects. These final recordings range from Berlin School sequencer voyages to atonal onslaughts, to rhythmic explorations – and taking in many points in between.

Surge

 The end of October 2025 sees a new series of recordings from Conny Plankton. Loosely unified around a common theme of getting to grips with the Surge XT VST Synth, it was not long at all before other VST Synths, hardware devices, loops and samples came on board. The Final Mixes range across atonal soundscapes, dark ambient visions, and rhythmic beat-based voyages.

Through The Centre Of The Why

Through The Centre Of The Why is a new series of recoredings and mixes from Conny Plankton, released October 2025. We have hard synths and devices; we have samples and loops; we have VST Synths and effects; we have rhythmic assaults and disjointed sequence patterns, we have atonal dystopian textures; we have dark ambient soundscapes. We have...the unexpected...

Coalescent

 August of 2025 sees a new series of recordings from Conny Plankton – loosely based around continued explorations with the vintage Yamaha TG55 Tone Generator, but now moving away from Midi Loops and working with external devices and inputs such as the Arturia Beatstep Pro, the Behringer Neutron Desktop Synth, the Nifty Eurorack set up and the Arturia Keystep 37. The Final Mixes range from dark ambient soundscapes to Rhythmic Onslaughts to the Plankton undefinable.
