Monotron / Stylophone / Stylophone Beatbox

Monotronul este un sintetizator analog in miniatura. Are 95 de grame, mai putin decat un iphone. Deşi suficient de mic pentru a-l tine intr-o mana, reda sunete marete. Se foloseste usor. Se concentreaza pe cei mai importanţi parametri de sunet, panoul contine numai cinci butoane si un comutator. Are clasicele filter analog Korg MS-10 & MS-20 si boxe. Ne putem cumpara toti, costa 59 de euro, se poate cumpara de aici.

Monotronul este urmasul stylophone-ului, un alt sintetizator in miniatură inventat in 1967, de englezul Brian Jarvis, pe cand incerca sa repare pianul de jucarie al nepoatei sale. O reparatie simpla s-a transformat intr-o modificare majora, care a dat nastere unui nou instrument, un mini pian electronic. Tastatura metalica facea zgomot printr-o conexiune electrica declansata la atingerea cu un ac de safir, adica cu un ac de pick-up. S-a fabricat timp de sase ani, s-a vandut in trei milioane de exemplare, mai ales pentru copii. O multime de artisti au folosit instrumentul, printre care si Krafwerk, in piesa Poket Calculator, de pe albumul Computer World.

Buzz.RO! Randomform, Minim.all, Datacrashrobot, Sunmoon

Sorin Paun are in prezent patru proiecte muzicale active: Randomform, Sunmoon, Minim.all si Datacrashrobot. Acestea s-au dezvoltat pe parcursul a doi, trei ani, ani incepand din 2005 si continua si in prezent. Incepem cu cel mai nou.

Sorin Paun speaking

In 2009 am inceput sa experimentez cu sound-ul electro si astfel s-a nascut “Datacrashrobot“. Primul EP a aparut la Datacrash Records si este influentat de sound-ul IDM si Ambient. Am doua EP-uri pregatite si nelansate inca, care vor fi mai spre glitch si mai dance, dar vor mentine latura experimantala. Mixuri radio cu Datacrashrobot aici.

Datacrashrobot – 7APPEPERA7

Datacrashrobot – Communication Probe

Oneohtrix Point Never – Returnal

Editions Mego / 2010 / try / buy

Editions Mego once more, pentru ca dupa Emeralds nu putea sa mearga decat Oneohtrix Point Never, un timp din State (Daniel Lopatin), celebru de altfel pe zona lui dar care la noi a ajuns mai tarziu, cand am realizat ca ambientul lui nu e chiar ambient. psychedelic synth orgy.

Emeralds – Does It Look Like I’m Here

Editions Mego / 2010 / try / buy

Asociati, dupa aproape 40 de releasuri pe caseta si cdr-uri in doar patru ani, cu zona americana dintre noise si hypnagogic pop (blame the wire for this one, da e ceva apropiat de hauntology-ul britanic), Emeralds scot la Editions Mego (acolo unde aparea si Fennesz – Endless Summer cu care are foarte multe in comun) un album care depaseste orice incercari de categorisire desi include gramezi de influente evidente (cosmic, kraut, folk, lo-fi, shoegaze, noise, disco, drone, hauntology) si tinde sa defineasca un ceva complet nou, de sine statator. Unul dintre cele mai bune albume ale anului.

Emeralds – Candy Shoppe

Emeralds – Double Helix

Emeralds – Genetic
