From Beyond
...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...
Trinity House
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!

More from Krakow
This time round it's a one off mix, based around samples recorded during the recent stay in Poland and mixed in with various bass loops and off kilter beats.
Live Music from Krakow!!
February 20th saw a weird and wonderful night in Krakow , Poland: Performing live at Baza in Krakow, was Dwoogie, with extra live sets from Prawnshocker and Pete Prescription.
Here is a link to the Facebook page of the event.
And Conny Plankton was there too, having made a special backing video for the night. The three live sets were filmed on a small flipcam by Conny Plankton, and later edits made to mix a version of just the live audio set against the video made for the night.
Having said that, our first video is the live set from Prawnshocker, playing with a backing video that was made and edited by Prawnshocker himself against his own video:
The second version is Prawnshocker's own video mix, known as The Sepia Movie:
Next in the line up, we have the live set up from Pete Prescription, first playing live against a video backdrop...
...and then with live audio mixed into the Conny Plankton video mix.
And now, for the star turn of the night, with Dwoogie playing an amazing live set:
...and then as a video mix with live audio mixed into the Conny Plankton video.
Further mention should be made of the reaction to this video, which has now been banned in ten countries!
We are working on getting this dispute sorted out - but apologies if any of these videos show up as being blocked from wherever you are watching it from!
Finally, an extra big thank you for Marcin Barski, who organised the gig for our three performers at Baza at Krakow and made it such an amazing night.
Thanks to to everyone who turned up - it really was a great night!
And of course, Baza is well worth checking out when you're in Krakow:

Northern Lights Mix
A Mix based on three separate takes using series of samples and loops from "Northern Song" by the four Kings of EMI - mutilated, rearranged and generally modulated; then converted to an audio file and looped through the Gemini VST soft synth; double tracking added from the same midi file played through the Waldorf Rocket Desktop synth. And then the whole thing, multi-tracked and overdubbed with extra samples to bring you the epic chunk of audio madness I now present before your very ears.
