I want to thank Grant for his attention to detail and his concern with supporting his users. Not only is Grant always filled with interesting thoughts and ideas but he has a wide range of knowledge. Anyone not happy with their Wiard is welcome to sell me their modules. TD

Hi Doc The noisering's aux out transposes a 144 and 158 vco (transposed with a dc mixer). The 158 is the sound vco and the 144 is a modulator. The noisering's main out goes into the fm input of the 158. And the 144 on the am input. One of the 144 outs was patched back into the no

As long as we're posting Wiardness links, I've got a few recordings featuring the Wiard @ www.myspace.com/andrewdalio Especially Wiardness, Purple Apples, and Sequence. Hope y'all like 'em! -andrew bunny

Hi Dennis A sumptuously scary track! Beautiful! Are the Buchla VCO's to which you refer 158's? (or 144's maybe?) i was also wondering whether any of the noisering's audio was in the mix or was it used strictly as a modulation source. nice work, -doc --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.

I spoke to Grant earlier and ordered replacement pots. What a concept, an accident damages an instrument that is well made enough that the user can repair it in the field. The builder and seller of the instrument not only answer the phone but let you know it's no big deal, the in

2008-06-02 by Grant Richter
If you use the Classic VCO in low mode as a clock source, then all the waveforms from the Classic VCO, Sequantizer and Envelators will be in phase and make musical sense. The timing of the pulse is taken from the sawtooth so only the back edge modulates with PWM, this makes sense

Hi Mark all of the 300 series modules have a 'stand-alone voice' but if i place myself, arbitrarily, in the situation you describe, i'd be inclined to isolate the Wogglebug. (i'd also remount it in a lucite dome and bend it photoresistors but that's another story altogether!) tgi

Matt, I believe what Raymond Scott was doing was to bring Schillinger's Automatic music machine to life. The yards and yards of material and writings that Schillinger had left explains how this machine would work (mathematically not electronically). He believed one could dial in
2008-05-23 by drmabuce
another tale from under the electronium hat... i'm always disappointed that David Tudor is frequently overlooked in all the modern chatter about electronic instruments. He was a concert pianist turned radio-shack junkie and most of his gadgets are 'compositions-in-solder'. There

I wonder if this might be where the future of electronic instrument design lies, ie. building instruments (electroniums!) with a singular purpose. And how a gang of different electroniums might be arranged to arrive at a composition. This might explain the long tradition of compo
2008-05-21 by Grant Richter
I would completely separate music conducive to meditation, from anything calling it self "new age". A lot of new age music becomes boring quickly, and causes you to lose the meditative state. Here are a couple nominee's just from my personal collection: Alan Hovhaness "Magic Moun

Going full circle, back to Raymond Scott, his recording 'Soothing Sounds for Baby' (Basta Music, 1997), was composed on his Electronium & Clavivox instruments. The sounds were intended to be played to babies in varying states, eg. distress, play, feeding & bed-time. Personally, i

I think Steve's music was designed for the Mind, Body and Spirit events in London. I've been working on music for meditation or background music for therapy sessions. The latter is quite a challenge, ideally it should run for 50 mins, be unobtrusive without just being annoying. M

If you can find a recording of Suzanne Ciani's "Seven Waves" it is a good record for both active or passive listening. That is not to imply that it is sleep producing, rather it produces a pleasant meditative state. "Twilight dreaming" might be a good term. --- In wiardgroup@yaho
