    Episode 31: David Kean & The 260e Mar 30, 2022
    Show notes

    Welcome to episode 31 of Source Of Uncertainty. In this episode we got the opportunity to talk with David Kean about his time working, and being friends with Don Buchla. He commissioned a few modules (255, 297, 299) that eventually led to Don developing the 200e system. We then dig into the byproduct module that came from these commissions, the Duophonic Pitch Class Generator Model 260e.

    Creating these soundscapes, partly feels as navigating through some fictive offshore territories emerging from Buchla, populated with forms of vivid matter — as speculative lifeforms— interacting under our ears. While balancing discipline and letting-go, intention & contingency, I am half the conductor and half the spectator of this polyphonic life, which at times seems frictional or even riotous.

    Diverse layers of sound, at different scales (possibly echoing microscopic processes or at times drone-scapes miles above the ground), may be violently —yet organically— erupting, morphing, swelling, eroding, dispersing, colliding, or collapsing. Sometimes swarming exosolar metropolis, with their expressive “concrète” fauna come into existence, and occupy the space in unregulated ways. These compositions are also a textural exploration. In some pieces, you can hear these sonorous critters inhabiting alien metropolis alternatively humming, buzzing, throbbing, whispering, hissing, roaring, creaking, rattling, etc.

    Although most of these pieces rely on samples, the original samples are warped, eroded, cut, squeezed and morphed in multiple ways, and quickly become illegible, alien. This disorientation is intended. Drifting away from the familiar & the terrestrial, with the aim to rewild our ears, minds and bodies through an exposure to a sonic otherness.

    Artist Spotlight: Henrique Matias Dec 08, 2021

    Hello, thanks for inviting me to participate on SoU, it's an honour to be part of it!

    In this mix I'm showcasing unreleased material I have almost exclusively performed on my 200e system, these jams illustrate some of the moods and sounds I'm looking for when making music on my own or collaborating with other artists here in London.

    The first track is a recording i did after hours of meditation on a Buchla patch together with my friend Vince Morris, we spoke the bare minimum and kept slowly developing the patch for hours focusing on capturing the sound of each oscillator separately while giving each of the outputs a very defined function in the landscape, it turns out more than one year after this track is going to be pressed on 180g vinyl and released on Titrate Records ( and you can pre-order it on bandcamp) ! [ shameless promotion allowed? haha ]

    The second track is actually the first track I made using the 296e which I'm very happy to finally have with me - that's definitely the module that I have been dreaming about the most! I was very pleased with the saturation you can get from driving the inputs, not to mention feedbacking the comb out into itself... Really powerful module which surely will help me make the Buchla sound a lot more rude! The effects here are provided by the 2H9 made by the lovely peeps from Northern Light Modular - shout to Sascha who without a doubt is one of the biggest legends in the space, my system wouldn't be the same without all the technical support and advice from him.

    The third track ( starting at 31 minutes ) is a collaboration with my friend Steven McInerney who played some acoustic instruments and processed them on his eurorack and my friend Rin who played some mad electro-acoustic-ish instruments while i played the 250e...

    The following track was a very special jam I had the pleasure to record with my friend Adrian who I met online when studying his amazing open source granular ( definitely one of the most impressive granulars i ever seen ) and we ended up becoming best friends when he moved to London..

    Last but not least I have two drone-ish tracks, one of which is exploring two simple oscillators out of tune being heavily processed on the H9 and another one where I solely used the 259e ( and loads of verb and delay )!

    I hope you enjoy it!


    ps: To listen to some of my dj mixes and other tracks i have released check out my soundcloud

    Artist Spotlight: The Sonny Downs Quartet Sep 15, 2021
    Show notes

    The Sonny Downs Quartet is proud to present a selection of music written for Buchla 200e. All pieces were composed and performed exclusively on the 200e, with no external MIDI sequencing and no multitracking. Everything was sequenced or played using a 252e, 251e, and 223e. None of the music uses 12-tone equal temperament. Since the release of Village Melodies in 2020, I have been writing music exclusively using just intonation, using up to 11-limit tuning. 1- Afternoon Documentary 2- Storm Season 3- Whale Posse 4- Herbarium 5- Prefabricated Pond 6- Patio Sport 7- Water Feature https://thesonnydownsquartet.bandcamp.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFJ8EWkSYN_dt-wbwwAVY8Q

    Music is life. I feel inspired to record the sonic patterns and sounds that are running around in
    my head. Sometimes they come fast and furious, I don’t think I’ll get the Logic up and
    recording before the ephemeral soundscape spewing from the speakers is gone. It happens so
    fast sometimes…
    Here are some examples of those dreams that got captured. Some meander, some bleep and
    bloop, some have something resembling an actual song structure. Some are part of my Tribute
    series of songs that pay homage to and remind you of the original song. Rain Dancing is an
    example of that. It is highly evocative of the end of the song Rain Dances on the Camel album
    of the same name. Listened to it as a teen, then it bounced around my head for several
    decades. Voila! Tribute! Give both a listen and you’ll see what I mean. Some of these songs
    pay homage to classic Buchla Styles. At least in my view. There’s a bit of Pop style here too,
    enjoy that.
    I love my Buchla gear. It takes me to a whole different place than my other synths do. Buchla is
    deep. I bought my Music Easel about 5 years ago and it’s only recently that I feel I understand
    a good part of it. The same with my 248r v2 MARF running v2.5 firmware ;-) At first I used it just
    like a sequencer for notes and gates, but with the special ability to change inter-step timing.
    Over the past year and a half the MARF has taught that it is oh so much more. Arbitrary
    Function, indeed!
    Thanks for the listen,
    Steven
