Uplift (duet: acoustic guitar/buchaudulus music system)
A live duet with me on guitar and my Buchaudulus music system generating the electronic part.

If Manny Göttsching were Californian! Prettay cool.
Sounds nice!
I was transported out of a particularly nasty space to a better place. Sometimes other worldly is just the RX needed.
I’m assuming the Buch in Buchaudulus refers to Buchla’s synths… is that true? Are there patterns in your Audulus creation that is based on that hardware or is it just a tribute?
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr @lukesleepwalker @McD: Thanks for listening.
@McD : I am glad to hear that it music had the desired effect.
The Buch is definitely from Buchla. Buchaudulus is something that I started hacking in Audulus 3 maybe in 2018 or 2019 when I got turned on to Alessandro Cortini's Buchla experiments which led me back to a friend that I had been out of touch with for 10 years -- who is a Buchla virtuoso. There are certain timbres they were getting that really entranced me -- but the hardware is way beyond my budget. There weren't (still aren't) any iOS emulations of those synths. So, I decided to see if I could roll my own.
I wanted to get a sense for how the architecture worked -- so, I started stringing things together to imitate bits of the architecture. One of the things that I noticed was that none of the wavefolders that I heard had a certain kind of quality (which I can't describe) that appeals to me in Easels from the classic period and the O-Coast (which is different sounding but has an aspect of that character).
Anyway, Buchaudulus' complex oscillator more or less imitates the Easel's architecture with a couple of departures (choice of wavefolder, choice of AM algorithms and switch to reverse the wavefolder and AM's position in the flow.
I built some supporting modules in the spirit of Buchla's early designs -- a five-step CV sequencer, a random walk sequencer and various kinds of gate modules to do fun things.
Audulus 4 added a bunch of improvements and I am updating that work to take advantage of them. I plan on making them available as soon as the bits and pieces are a little more polished.

The sound is quite all over my airspace.
Lovely recording, and very space, really lovely.
The guitar is so loved!!!
This is beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing it, they go together so well!!!
Lovely track 🙏 I’d listen to a lot more like that 😊
@ReneAsologuitar @sevenape @GeoTony : thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. It means a lot.
I do plan on doing more acoustic/electronic compositions and recording. That's the territory that I've sketched out for my next big project -- I feel like the last several years have been preparation for it -- gathering together the tools (and, in the case of Buchaudulus, building them), getting my ideas and skills together (not sure where I am on that).
Uplift was sort of a quick proof-of-concept -- I may re-visit it.
