Exploring the world of synths, samplers and other electronic instruments. Coming up with diverse and hopefully interesting compositions, somewhere in the genre-spectrum between Ambient and Techno

The bell ringers gave us a tour of the bells and a number of demonstrations. We learnt about the history and the techniques employed by the ringers.

The mathematical side of it when written on paper looks fascinating, almost like patterns in woven cloth.

It's very jammable, which is important, to be able to create mostly on the fly.

Tools used were Oxi One, Oxi Coral, Make Noise Mimeophon, Minifuse 4 and all recorded into Bitwig for arrangement purposes.

My cast is about making electronic music using predominantly but not exclusively, the iPad and I review (or mess around really) the various AUv3 plugins that provide the sounds, the effects and the MIDI data for sequencing and producing the music you might listen to on Fountain etc in the future.

Today we experiment with a synth and some effects plus monkeys make great instruments. Did you know that?

No animals were harmed, it’s ok….
