Getting There

 Spring is just around the corner, and here are a new series of recordings from Conny Plankton. The recording sessions started off life with further explorations with the Roland S1 Tweak – however, these soon evolved into working alongside mutated loops, treated samples and heavily edited field recordings. Core beats were used big time with the development of dense layers of sound and the Conny Plankton stamp of aural derangement.

Neurodivergence

A new series of recordings from Conny Plankton sees further explorations with loops, VST Synths, Field Recordings and assorted hardware devices. These sessions started life with the unifying theme of bringing the Roland S1 Tweak Synth to centre stage and having everything evolve and develop around it. However, as is often the case, other samples and synths soon demanded an equal right to be heard and a whole series of new mutated mixes developed. So here we have a series of tracks which cover a range of styles and genres, with trance and ambient, industrial and atonal, all fused together with the Conny Plankton stamp of whatever.

Tweak

 A new series of recordings from Conny Plankton based on initial explorations with the Roland S1 Tweak – a stylophone-sized Synth that plays sequences ranging from techno loops to atonal soundscapes. Here it is put through its paces – as solo ventures, and in sync and alongside different hardware devices such as the Arturia MicroFreak  and Behringer Neutron Synths, the Roland MC505 Groovebox and  software VST Synths such as the beloved UHE Hive. There are a whole universe of different genres, styles and approaches here. Enjoy folks!

The Hidden Key

 The first series of recordings of 2024 see a series of exploration with various VST and hardware synths in sync with each other, in conflict and harmony, working through numerous ideas and experimentations. The Final Mixes are very varied in terms of style, genre, and approaches, from trance to atonal to modular synth electronics. And it's all for you!
