Hi folks: Things have been well active on the creative front recently, with a bunch of new stuff now being unleashed. To get the ball a-rollin' here is a link to a new video - based around photographs taken by Conny Plankton, and with a track made specially for the video mix. Watch out folks - definitely not the kind of video you see every day. Don't forget to click on the video to see it full screen.
Hi folks: Here is a missing gem from the late Jak Sowerby. Click on the link, to find more stuff about Jak! Lost the Plot was a video made around 10 years ago, and is the video that everyone who knew Jak has been asking to see again. It was lost for many years after being taken down from youtube, so many thanks to the Rev Dhumpa Phatti for finding a copy and putting it up onto youtube. So without any more, let us none the less as soon as possible and take you to...Lost the Plot.
...and here we go all over again, with further lavish helpings of tracks based around the loose theme of using the Waldorf Rocket Desktop Synthesiser - but this time on an emphasis of working with edited midi files converted from audio samples. Plus! As an extra bonus, a mega remix off the Mixcloud site with a new track based on collating and a mashing together of three of the tracks from the Rocket Salad series:
Back into the creative swing of things big time here! On we go with the unveiling of a whole series of tracks and pieces loosely based around the collective theme of using the Rocket Desktop Synthesizer in tandem with a whole series of different add-ons and devices. Here we go: enjoy!
...and now, the latest release from my old chum Dave J: This is a a piece based around use of Korg Virtual Synths. Watch out for the way it draws you in...
...and now, the major project that has been taking up most of the creative juices of Conny Plankton lo these last few months - a whole series of tracks, jams, edits and mixes, based around use of an Arturia Beatstep Pro and its manifesttion as midi controller, sequencer, drum machine, and kipper grill...
Hi folks: It all seems many a moon since there were last any bloglike activities on the quaquaversity front - but it is actually been well busy. To start things off, here is a mega mix of an old proggie favourite, transfused and mutated through the wierd and wonderful warp of the Plankton brain:
Once upon a time, there was an amazing prog band who made an amazing album. Recording was fraught with difficulties - especially the side long track which took up the entire second side of the album. Rumour had it, that there was originally a completely different version of this track, and all that had survived was 90 seconds or so that was mixed into the final released version. So - what if that original version somehow resurfaced - what could it actually sound like? Built around a loop of the mystery surviving sample, with other loops, timestretched segments and effects aplenty thrown in, is the final mega mix of the whole thing. No titles given here as to the original piece - them that know will figger it out already, or work out the clues from the cover and the title. And them that doesn't - well hope y'all enjoy it anyway!
