Reading about Pierre Schaeffer, founder of musique concrete, and his ideas of acousmatics and the sonorous object. a) The sonorous object is not the instrument that was played.  b) The … Read More

The primary chance parameters are pitch, tempo, loudness and duration.  Modules include VCOs, VCAs, VC EGs, VC LFOs, a VC clock divider, sample and holds, and a frequency shifter.  No … Read More

The bright gates patch with the Cocoquantus added to control resonance on the gates and to provide delay/echo. For this take, the initial frequency of the gates was set higher … Read More

The bright gates patch with the Cocoquantus added to control resonance on the gates and to provide delay/echo. For this take, the initial frequency of the gates was set low.

This recording is all modular, except for the digital echos. It is also aleatoric, self-playing, using a rhythmic CV generator patch similar to some I have done before, based on … Read More

I’ve had the Tetrazzi Organ for about a week.  I have a pretty good understanding how it works now, and I’ve been practicing to come up with playing techniques.  It’s … Read More

It was a small party.  Cocoquantus + Morphing Terrarium, some envelopes and VCAs, S&H with glide for pitch.  The coco quantussy petal controls the M.T. morph inputs and is detected … Read More

This is the cocoquantus patched back to itself and left to run.  I used the configuration in which four of the five oscillators are patched in a circle. The name … Read More

I’m trying out different combinations of equipment with the cocoquantus.  In this patch the quantussy oscillator cluster is patched into the MOTM 510 Wavewarper, back through the COCO delays, and … Read More

This week’s cocoquantus patch again utilizes the CGS Tube VCA as a timbre enhancer.  This time not only do the coco outputs each pass through one of these, in addition … Read More
