Polestar

 A new album of releases from Conny Plankton sees a moving away from the themes of working with Eurorack and bringing a new VST into centre stage - namely, Nave, the Wavetable Synth from Waldorf, which allows lots of new approaches and some incredible sounds along the way. Lots of different instruments, devices and samples joined the party during this series of recordings - including the evolving Eurorack system of course!

The Four Seasonings

It has been a long while since there was any Conny Plankton activity on the Mixcloud front. So now, to rectumfy the situation, here are new series of long Mixcloud mixes, all based on original work:

The Four Seasonings are a new series of long mixes by Conny Plankton, as published on the Mixcloud site. The four seasonings in this case being salt, mustard, vinegar and pepper.

Actually, none of the mixes have anything to do with seasoning at all, although there was a lot of Pepper in the very first mix:

Condiment

A long drone based mix, based around treated samples of various zippy pop nuggets as produced by the Four Kings of Emi themselves. Melodic yet atonal, this mix pushes the possibilities of what can be done with a samples and sounds to take you into new and uncharted territories.

Four Kings

Another take on samples from the Four Kings of Emi - this time rearranged as an intense acid fried mix. Guest appearances from Lord Frankie Howerd and samples from his 1965 advert for the Four Kings series of ice creams. Yes, well...

WonkaMix

A sort of tribute to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with samples from the 1971 film and soundtrack mixed and modulated into a new and wonderful place, while still retaining some of the Magic from the original experience.

Lost Voyage

Conny Plankton paying respect to a series of TV classics by Irwin Allen, with episodes from Lost in Space and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea remixed into something altogether damaging and extreme.
