Today is time for some new gear. Thanks to mister André Pinto, i got infected with the Korg MONOTRON virus. I was hoping to get a MONOTRIBE, but, unable to find one, i got the MONOTRON instead. What a small beast it is! It’s already a legend for me, and also my second acquisition in the realm of true analog. And it will not be the last for sure…
So, here are two snippets from today’s improv session one, with the MONOTRON and the THEREMIN on track one, and the MONOTRON and a looper on track two:
Monotron #1 by Rui Gato
Monotron #2 by Rui Gato
On session two, i continued the work on the CTR instrument (i will be calling CTR instrument now on to my development on a hybrid natural user interface instrument using Synapse, wiimote, and some more stuff). After a week of work, it’s starting to sound more interesting and more expression and sonic possibilities emerge with the use of the wiimote to control LFO’s and looper operations.
Here is session two, sliced in three segments (that were played continuously) for your listening convenience.
