Octember

October ov 2026 sees the release of a new series of recordings from Conny Plankton. Vaguely unified under a common theme of regular use of the VST Portal FX Fillter by Output (and an excellent FX filter it is too!), the final mixes are in the usual diversity of styles and approaches – stomping rhythmic onslaughts, atonal mindscrambling explorations, and sequencer led voyages. A whole bunch of different hardware was used, including the Neutron and Proton Desktop Synths, the Ambient Ø texture synth, the Roland S1-Tweak Synth, the MC505 and MC303 Grooveboxes, the Arturia Beatstep Pro Sequencer and the Nifty Eurorack. Software involved was Portal by Output, the TR-909 VST Drum Machine, and the Massive X, Filterscape, Hive, Repro-1 and Diva VST Synths. Stir it all together and add copious amount of midi loops, samples and field recordings, and there you go: Enjoy!

Live And Kicking

It may sound even more deranged than usual, but Conny Plankton has been offered the possibility of playing live. This presents no small share of problems, since the usual Conny Plankton approach is to prepare layers and layers of editing with additional samples, loops and beats. So for this live mix, the base tracks were stripped down to basics, and live overdubs added from the Roland Tweak S1 and Sonicware Ambient Ø Synths. So its a live mix, possibly to be used as the basis for a live future performance. Check it Out!

Damage Control

Damage Control is a series of recordings and mixes made by the febrile brain of Conny Plankton, lo this August ov 2026. Hardware devices include the Keystep 37 and Beatstep Pro from Arturia, the Behringer Proton and Neutron Desktop Synths, the Sonicstate Ambient Ø and the Nifty Eurorack. Software VSTs include the Diva, SH-101, Hive, Repro 1, Filterscape and Massive X, together with the TR-909 VST Drum Machine. Add layers of filters and effects, loops and samples to develop an album which traverses the rhythmic and the atonal, the melodic and the abrasive. Damage Control (or Damage for short) was a local character of great individuality. The ideas and images for each track where inspired by different sections of a painting he made where Creativity and the Chaotic abound in every area.
