Crave Two: Life In Lockdown

So here we are folks with More of What You Crave...

Crave Two: Life in Lockdown is the second series of releases based around the use of the Crave Desktop Synth. What we got here is different sets of sequences being developed in connection with a range of different devices to evolve beyond beat and pattern into the abstract and atonal. Enjoy!

What You Crave

Now firmly in the grip of the Covid-19 lockdownn, the extra time allowed to develop this new series of recordings sees the production of an intense series of synth and noise explorations based around used of the Behringer Crave synth - used on its own, and hooked with other Behringer Synths. No plugins, external devices used this time round.

Enjoy!

Modular Minimal Springing Forth

March 2020 has been a very creative and productive time. What started out as a generic series of ideas and recordings very quickly split into distinct themes: One based on minimal explorations using a series of modular and semi modular devices, and one with  as series of more rhythmic sessions based around loops, beats, and recurring samples. 

So  this time round, you get double your money, with two lots of album's worth of recordings on two different themes coming out at the same time. 

To start us off, here is Modular Minimal:

Modular Minimal is a series of recordings based around interplay and interconnection with a series of modular and semi modular devices, being largely the Behringer Model D, the Behringer Neutron, the MFOS Noise Toaster and the MFOS Weird Sound Generator. Of course, as is often the case with the Conny Plankton brain, various other lops,samples and devices soon joined into the fray, evolving into this new series of atonal and ambient soundscapes you have before you. Enjoy!



Then, we have Spring Forth:
A New series of recordings based loosely around use of banks of loops, triggered through Ableton and mixed with selected other devices, such as VST synths, the Neutron and Model D synths by Behringer and the Kaossilator Plus. And a few more guest appearances as well. You may well notice some of the loops and samples also making further guest appearances on different tracks!

Big D Too

Onward, ever onward, with a new series of recordings: Continue to work primarily with the Behringer Model D synth, but now alongside a range of other synths and devices - connections made through Midi Chains and various modular connections.

Here we go again:

Big D

Here we are with the first set of releases from 2020. What we have here is a series of recordings made with the Model D Synth from Behringer. It is a very tasty piece of kit which soon got on very well with a whole host of other synths, VSTs, devices, loops and samples. Enjoy!

KP Plus

Here we are with the final offering of 2019. It has been a busy a highly creative year, with hopefully a lot more to come.

This time round, we have a series of recordings, based around use of Kaossilator Pro Plus by Korg - a mighty little beast that allows looping and multi-tracking and the use of real time effects and modulation in its massive bank of instruments and beats.

So here we go folks.

All the best to everyone for the new year and I hope 2020 is good for all of us!

November Calling

A new series of recordings, working with banks of edited samples and loops, triggered through Ableton Live with a Novation Launchpad to produce a series of live mixes. These were edited down and extra weirdness added to produce the wonder that is before you. Enjoy!
