This weekend I've been out at a friend's place in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California, watching local bands play and sort of generally jamming around with a little AE modular. The friend who runs the lasers and I have been talking about how to hook up modular gear to the Radiator laser controller, and I finally got a chance to show off what I'd been doing.
Sadly, there's not a lot of video as of today. It's pretty hard to get decent video and my hands were occupied. But here's a photo as I mess with my 16x2 portable rack:
I'm going to see if we play again tonight and I can get video, but it'll depend (I was up very late last night and tonight's band may go long). This is the portable rig, though, or at least the sound-related bits of it.

Do you have sounds of your performance?

A little, but it's kind of hard to get video while doing stuff... I'll see if I can figure out how to attach video, but probably tomorrow.

Here's the morning-before test jam:

This is what I ended up doing after the main band played-- we set up the lasers and linked in some stuff from the modular and I played sort of chilled-out ambient stuff for an hour or so.
Weirdly, my Topograf reset itself to 24ppqn (instead of the more useful 4ppqn) mode, so it was significantly more chilled and a little more syncopated than originally planned, but it was cool. It wasn't really an ideal time for 4 on the floor beats... 8)
Then in the morning, after breakfast, I set up again and did a little morning chill jamming while people wandered in and out on the laser deck.
About 45 minutes of this, plus a few demos of various bits and showing off, and I packed it up for the Sunday afternoon band to play. 
The guy messing with the TB3 was a trained opera singer(!) who had lived in Berlin and was FASCINATED by the cutoff and resonance knobs... He had a nice time programming little TB3 lines and messing with them while I did the ambience bits.
Overall, a nice weekend, and people seemed to enjoy the ambient jams and morning beats.

Yeah, I noticed it while playing when I tried to step up the hihats a little and realized they were playing very very seldomly and the kick was weirdly offset from everything else. But it was already so slow and throbby it worked out. I fixed it for the morning jam, which had a whole different vibe. |
