If I remember correctly, one of the reasons @brambos made Ripplemaker in the first place was to help stave off a strong impulse to buy a west-coast type modular.
So let's start subliminally implanting stimulii to give him a craving for a hardware sequencer. (shsssshh...)
Yeah I always wanted to get my hands on a 0-Coast. But now that Ripplemaker exists, I want that instead.
I don't own an 0-coast but have spent some time with one and I honestly prefer Ripplemaker.
I'm so close to buying a 0-Coast, I'm utterly obsessed, additive tones have flooded my dreams. I'm mostly tempted because waiting for the delayed Bastl Softpop that I ordered 2 months ago is driving me cuckoo.
Granted the Softpop isn't west coast but its a different type of analog synthesis to explore.
Oooooh. Haven't heard of this yet. Is this going to replace my desire for a microgranny? Two different things obviously but how many toys can one really desire at once?
There is no hard limit unfortunately
Well that's good to hear! I can lock my fomo up for a little while longer...
I totally forgot about the 0-Toast! Its a user made emulation of the 0-'Coast on Audulus 3.
I might try and beef it up once I understand it better!
The 0-coast is wonderful. I love it to bits. I prefer it over Ripplemaker, but i love both.
A lot of significant synthesis takes place on the west coast. Aphex Twin / Richard D James (no relation to James T Kirk), and Portishead and all that lot over in Bristol. Having spent a lot of my life in Sussex, I like to consider that my own approach typifies south coast synthesis.
Lolz I can't quite tell if you are joking or have misunderstood the West Coast reference to the schools of synthesis. If the latter well: East Coast is reference to Bob Moog's subtractive synth structure that he developed in New York and West Coast refers to Don Buchla's additive synthesiser inventions.
I hadn't realised how obscure all this stuff was let alone how deeply uncool it was until the recent modular synth explosion.
Something really bizarre went down for me today.
First I discover and listen to a record by Buchla Music Easel wizard Charles Cohen on my morning commute.
The record is Brother I Prove You Wrong, it is interesting and enjoyable but perhaps nothing especially spectacular.
Then at lunch time I was dismayed to discover he was prosecuted in 2015 for soliciting sex with an underage boy! (or so he thought, he was caught in an undercover sting.)
Now on the train I read breaking news on resident advisor that he has died a few days ago!
Experimental music in the US has attracted a lot of people with, uh, let's say "minority sexual lifestyles" just to be polite. For example, just a few months ago I learned that Harry Partch was part of the gay hobo scene. I didn't even know there was a "gay hobo" thing, and went down a few obscure Internet rabbit holes trying to figure out what it was. Turns out that old children's folk song "Big Rock Candy Mountain" had original lyrics referring to hobo buggery, that were eventually bowdlerized out of the popular version.
The "gay hobo" scene is also where the term "gunsel" originated. It meant a young catamite (bottom).
Dashiell Hammett snuck it past his unwitting editor and the term began to be used as a synonym for "hoodlum" or "henchman"
But they’re not even on the coast, they’re just foreign towns on television (except Baywatch, which is on the coast - who knows which coast, probably the north coast - that’s which way I remember the television pointing - oh wait, that’d be Due South, which is on the north and has several dogs in it, all with the same name).
The additive synthesis movement was probably started off by the organ builders. In a way, it’d be interesting if subtractive voltage controlled architecture were never thought up at that time it was, and voltage controlled summation of harmonics were invented in its place, to produce controllable formants and sequenceable formant intervals etc., not to mention intermodulation. These days I tend to think that subtractive synthesis has had too dominant an influence.
You can't really equate it with experimental music, Paedophilia, is much more more common than we'd dare imagine.
My point in posting this really was the coincidence I experienced today in discovering his music barely 24 hours ago, to the 2 shocking pieces of news about him hours apart. Totally over shadows his music.
Oh well, Barry Schader and Morton Subotnik seem positively boring in comparison.
Haha, so definitely the former after all.
And yes I suppose that's why I'm so fascinated in the additive architecture, synths as we know them could have been so different.
In this case we're talking about ephebophilia -- attraction to teenagers. Which, given mating patterns across the entire span of human prehistory, is probably the normal human condition.
But I was referring to the high percentage of gay men who have been influential in American avant garde music, which I guess should not be too surprising given their representation in classical music in general.
I stand corrected and have learnt a new word.
