Aethereal

It's that time again: another batch of releases from the ruined brain of Conny Plankton! This time round we got a whole bunch of recordings loosely collated together under the common theme of using the VST soft synth, Aethereal, to provide a series of drones, space noise, gliss effects and textures. It is a plug in well worth checking out - and free too - check out this here link!

And now, it's on with the show...

New Track from Dave Johnston!

Yes, a new track from Dave J - quite mellow and ambient in tis own way, but still manages to get to some of those darker parts of your head! Enjoy!

The Beat of a Different Drummer

This time around, Conny Plankton has given you all a series of new recordings loosely based around the idea of working with banks of loops - largely beat and rhytm based, but it wasn't long at all before the warped Plankton brain went into overdrive and produced something that was definitely different and not yer bom-bom-bom heart attack beat.

Enjoy!

The Fungi from Yuggoth: Death Transmitter Remix 2018

Yes, it must be completely insane - doing a big remix based on session from the Fungi from Yuggoth, a group of us jammin' away some 23 years ago, and recently rediscovered from some old digital video tapes. But here you go anyway, with multiple layers of loops, drones, reverse samples, drones and treated vocals - though I tried somehow to keep a flavour of what it was like in those sessions so long ago. The sample at the end is from Jak Sowerby himself, who spontaneously erupted into a chant at the end of one particular session!

Emor Reven

Off goes the Plankton Brain, off into a hundred different simultaneous directions, searching for sound and images from all far reaches of the quaquaverse - and coming back with this. A multi tracked, mutli layered, multi blended video, of sublime and disquieting noise and imagery - guaranteed to take your head to a new extreme.

...and as an extra treat, here is a remix of Emor Reven: this time with video filtered through some Adobe After Effects head candy and the audio remixed with drums, bass, and general extra oddness!

This Modern World

A New Video from Conny Plankton: This time with no found footage from the 1960s or Victorian Photographs, and resplendent in Widescreen HD. 

The theme of This Modern World was based on editing together contrasting scenes of industry with the natural world. Overlays and subliminal edits abound. All topped up with a new audio piece based on psychotronic frequencies, loops and drones! 

Unfortunately, due to samples used from the Big Brother Cartel, this was struck off from you tube almost as soon as it was released. However, so as not to deprive the world of it, here is a link to my google drive where you can download it and check it out for yourself.

And as an extra goodie from the Plankton Brain: A remix of the video with extra layers on the video track, borrowing unashamedly from the effects used in the earlier video remix for Emor Reven. Just to take your brain that little bit further out there!! Strangely enough, no one has minded this one being up on youtube!

For Various Technical Reasons, this remix cuts short at around a three minute mark and had to be mixed together again from the original source files. So - here we are again with a fresh remix!

BSR

Here we go again folks - the warped mind of Conny Plankton bringing you a new series of recordings. This time, everything is loosely linked with the common theme of different VSTs running through my old Novation Bass Station Rack.

Of course, it wasn't long before different devices, samples and ideas decided to join in the party!

Modular Oblongata

More Toast Vicar?

More from the Noise Toaster. Here we have an extra deluxe slice of Toast made with timestretching various samples, adding filters and effects, and overlaying as a big noisy overdubbed piece.

Toast

What we got here is a new series of recordings, bundled together under the common theme of using a new device...namely a Noise Toaster. Based around a design  from the excellent Music From Outer Space DIY synth site, this version is customised to allow extra plug'n'play modular connections and create a whole extra arsenal of sound possibilities. 

This kit was built by Patrizio from Elettrorama. It is an excellent piece of kit and strongly recommended!

And, now, on with the recordings...!

AF2 Interzone

Another new AF2 track - produced a s a warped collaboration between Dave Johnston and Conny Plankton. This one started off as a well chilled guitar piece from Dave produced through Garageband and then extra warpage and isochronic happenings added by Conny P. Enjoy!

Hive

Another new project from the ruined brain of Conny Plankton goes on line. This time round we got 19 new tracks based around use of the amazing Hive soft synth from U-HE. Of course, various other samples, drum vsts, desktop synths and bassline generators soon decided to join in the fun. Enjoy!

Brainiac Fingers Video: Desert Burn Mix

A New video remix based on the big Brainiac Fingers mix recently put up on Mixcloud - now with a series of suitably unsettling and hypnagogic image sequences, designed and destined to carry what is left of your brain off to somewhere else entirely!

This is an updated version of the video mix - still with amazing Electric Sheep video footage, but now supplemented and blended with a whole range of different videos from the Burning Man Festival in America. All footage throughout was taken from Creative Commons sources.

Enjoy!!

The Buchla Variations

The Madness of Conny Plankton rises once again, like yeast, like foam, like a fever...and with another album of stuff - this time based on the weirdness of early experimental electronic music that is the Buchla Easel:

More from Jak Sowerby

It is almost a year now since dear ,mad old Jak Sowerby passed over.

I can think of no better way that to pass on a few memories than uploading some photos and drawings passed along to use from me owld chum, Branny:

Astral Boy Fox Head

One of Jak's many Drawings.

From Left to right: Jo, Branny, Jak. Pose Pose Pose...

Much more Jak stuff can be found further on down in this here blog at:

AF2 too: Buddha in Hell (Brown Rain Mix)

A New collaboration between Dave Johnston and Conny Plankton - this time based on a series of loops from a Buddha Machine, mutated and edited into something much darker and unsettling!

AF2 and the Kozmik Kollaboration

...and now ...a bit of a historic moment...presenting in what we hope will be the first in a series of rather wonderful collaborations, between Conny Plankton and Dave Johnston. Is this a rebirth of AcidF*ck, now evolved and degenerated as AF2.....

Watch this space!

Moon Pussy Prawnshocker!

Presenting for your enjoyment two new rather amazing releases from the Unsane Mind of Prawnshocker. Lunar features the cherry read labia of Conny Plankton on some well distorted sax somewhere in the Mix!





...plus, large slices of whimsical perversity abound with the release of the Cat EP!

Brainiac Fingers

Following on from the UHE Diva series of recordings came this big mix - evolving and mutating out of a whole series of different drones and samples. Hope you enjoy it!

You Aitch EE

2018 storms in with a new batch of recordings: This time rounds, things are loosely gathered together under the unfiying theme of using the magnificent UHE Diva plug-in. Of course, that is how things started - but before you know it, all sorts of other instruments, devices and samples were joining in!

Happy New Ear!

Happy New Ear to All Our Readers!

All the very best to everyone in 2018!!
