The Making Of ELECTROLUMINESCENCE

ELECTROLUMINESCENCE is the first CD I have offered featuring my MFOS modular synthesizer and the ULTIMATE semi-modular synthesizer. Some of these pieces are original minimalistic ambient sound-scapes to think by and others are complete musical works by classical composers. I think of these as aural landscapes or bath salts for your ears. I believe they will help you meditate, relax and unwind. They are also handy for noisy work spaces where they can help you stay focused and avoid the distraction that comes with indirectly hearing other conversations, phone calls, P.A. systems, etc. They are popular at the Parker Recreation center (Parker, CO) and are used in yoga classes and Thai massage therapy sessions. Thought you might enjoy a little inside look at making the CD.

wow that guy has hairy arms!!!

[theraywilsonshow]

I'm kind of an ape man in that regard. I've learned to live with my condition. Electrolysis is out of the question until they come up with a nuclear powered version of the device.

[theraywilsonshow]

Not at all. I use some of the soft synths (mainly for strings and pianos) included with Cakewalk SONAR and they sound great. I just like building things too and I really do enjoy analog sounds. No the vsti stuff is amazing but I like stuff that has actual physical patch cords attached more that's all.

Great Ray :-) , soon I will be making sounds with the Ultimate..... ( I hope )

[theraywilsonshow]

Looking forward to it.

I was wondering........ you spend hard effort on your analogue synths......

do you sort of detest vsti synths?

[firehandszarb]

sounds really good

@adrianjcc modular synthesis is the most direct way of programming... in the same way as you would program in a prewired synth (a sh101, for example) you will do the same but on a modular synth you get the oportunity of designigin your own arquitecture for the synth: you will decide how many vco, vcf, lfo, etc you will use, and you will decide how the conections will go, so you can "create a different synth" every day... the programming concepts relay the same although

Is your keyboard DIY?

Thanks for sharing this with us Ray.

Really like the cd, especially Bach's Musical Offering.

Really enjoying making the modules too, something really nice about putting these together and hearing the results!

[manowargoblin]

Thanks for sharing this with us Ray. The Musical Offering is truely wonderful, but that's not to distract from the other tracks.

Enjoying making your modules at the moment.

I was wondering how you got those sounds. Now I have an Idea.. You have more than just a minimoog, Profet 5 & Reason!

Modular systems are so much money. Beyond what I have ever dreamed of having! Makes me feel inferior!

But, Music is all about resorcefullness as well as equipment!
