A large salad bowl is bolted to a 2 metre long steel rod (out of shot). The rod rests in a metal umbrella stand (All items were found in back-alleys near our studio). Two mics (one above and one under) record a stereo image of the experiment. The rod is tapped, plucked, scratched and bowed which resonates the bowl. The sound is clean, clear and quiet. We had to set this up in the studios’ kitchen because the air-con in the main studio was waay too loud (it was working overtime on a hellishly hot day). We had to unplug the fridge because it’s hum was bleeding onto the mics.

BLURB:
This is a Bit Crusher from HELL. You can (analogue) drive the input AND it’s got a built in analogue clone of an MS-20 Filter.
PLUS, you can choose the order in which you debauch the sound. eg: Pre-amp -> Decimator, Decimator -> Pre-amp, or something else which is RANDOM AND DOOOMESQUE (??)
We love it and use it on vocals (“Grind” Blood Death Ivory), guitars (“Vena Cava” Krankhaus), bleeps and lead synths (“Devilicious” Blood Death Ivory).
The art of DIY Musical Instruments must be revived!! This idea started with the salad bowl (refer to Studio Snapshot on Jan 27). We added strings, tuning pegs and an electric fan case for extra rattle.
The strings pass through the electric fan casing and resonate it, making the little white spokes rattle and shimmy. Moving the white electric fan casing bends the pitch of the strings. The strings are fastened to the salad bowl, so all the sounds resonate together resulting in a wonderfully rich twang with lots of glimmering high end. Everything under 250Hz has gets cut out in the mix.

SHAVER OF DOOOOM!
INFO:
This is a recording of an electric razor being run over a salad bowl. It was recorded with RODE NT-1 mics. The sound was DEBAUCHED through our modular.

I’ll spend a day building and recording the bass tracks for each song ….although it takes months to actually write a bass that we’re happy with.
The bass for each song is usually made up of 2-6 tracks. They are:
Sub bass: This provides the sub thump. Usually this is the SH101 low and fat. Panned centre.
Main bass: This provides the definition. Usually a single oscillator (sometimes we use 2). Goes through Mooger Fooger, Obermoog Moog filter of EMS clone. Panned centre. Frequencies below 80Hz EQed out. Often have a small amount for FM on the filter.
Stereo Pair #1: These provide the grunt. These come in and out to add dynamics. 2 oscillators each. Through the Diode filters or the Wasp clones. Lots of FM on the filter and often distorted. Panned 60% Left and Right. Frequencies below 150Hz EQed out.

THis is us STILL going stupid on the modular. These are driven by the Doepfer MAQ-16/3 Analogue Sequencer. The timing is adjusted real time…so I have no idea about the tempo….sorry!!

We’re working on a track that’s a little different. It’s built on a simple drum pattern with 2 bleepy synth sounds. The little bleeps are engineered to sound thin and crispy. The drums are pure analogue and FAT. We’ll be putting trash garage sounding punk guitars over them…we’re aiming for something sparse and rough.
There’s no “bass line”. The bass frequencies are taken up with an enormous analogue kick drum. We’re building the kick, snare, hats and other percussion using the modular.
An Envelope Generator is triggered by the GATE output from the MIDI->CV convertor. This Envelope shapes the oscillator. It’s a spike that falls to a low thud. Using either a Saw, Square or Sine radically alters the sound of the kick. Distort to taste….and we like it tasty!
We will triple stack the kick. We’ll use a distorted Sine wave kick panned centre. This will be fat and thumpy, run through a deadly Filter – most likely the Moog. Two other VCOs (with 120Hz EQed out) are panned hard Left and Right. These have a bit more tops.
