A 80 B

April and Easter and still in the throes of Lockdown form the Coronavirus. In the midst of it all is a new series of recordings from the warped mind of Conny Plankton – produced with a fledgling Eurorack system, hooked in and patched up to other choice goodies such as the Behringer Neutron and Crave Synths, the MC505 Groovebox, the Arturia Beatstep Pro Sequencer, and the Hive VST synth. A World of Wonder Awaits...

Natural Disorder

 The latest release from the warped brain of Conny Plankton sees further explorations with modular patchings and permutations - taking you all into realms of dark ambience, drone, trance - and well, just definitely out there. Enjoy!

A New Perspektiv

A new form of madness and obsession here with a new video produced by Conny Plankton - using the Hyperspketiv app for IOS for its own brand of special effects. This one is unusual (yes, well...) in that it has been designed especially for watching vertically on mobile phones.

And Why Not....

To get the video to play fully on your phone as a vertical movie, make sure you click on the option View web version just under the Home button at the bottom of the screen.

Azimuth Of Sound

February 2021 – a continuing lockdown within the depths of winter. And in the midst of it all, a new series of recordings from Conny Plankton – loosely based around a series of explorations with the Cre8Audio Eurorack system connected and synced to a series of other modular and semi modular devices – and a whole bunch of extra samples and instruments piled on top, just for jolly.

In Winter

 January 2021 and deep in the heart of an English Lockdown- a  new release emerges from the ruined brain of Conny Plankton: explorations and experimentations based around the use of the Cre8Audio Nifty Bundle modular set up - re-routings and re-patchings abound ,with a series of dark and atonal soundscapes - reflecting these dark and atonal times.

Anchorites Of The 21st Century

Anchorites of the 21st Century is the second release from Conny Plankton in the last month of 2020, this strangest of years. Themes revolve around the use of the Behringer TD3 Bassline, connected through various patchings to a range of assorted modular and semi modular devices. The title of Anchorites refers to the monks and nuns of the 12th century - voluntarily locked away top achieve a higher ecstatic and spiritual experience - often being driven mad in the process. Now, in the 21st Century an enforced lockdown from Covid-19 sees a reversal of the situation - although mental disintegration remains a common consequence.

All graphics for the title and seaprate tracks are made from the series of photographs used for the album, Dark Corona, and edited through the Iphone App, Hyperspektiv.

Dark Corona

Impossible really to think that December 2020 sees the release of two full albums worth of recordings from Conny Plankton. Both albums have the major theme of the use of the Behringer TD3 Bassline as a central device. This first series of recordings focusses on using the TD3 with a series of processors and connected to other devices via midi. Enjoy Folks!
