Live Online #146: Shimmer

Inspired by my success at assembling the Shruthi-1 kits, I bought an Arduino and am teaching myself DIY electronics. My lofty goal is to create a hardware box to replace Ableton Live for performing these sets. It’ll be liberating to go onstage without a computer. I’ve been getting a taste for it playing in my Suncake Lounge collaborator Chris Bailey’s Three Day Bender band with just my windcontroller and the Shruthi-1. I’m a long way from my goal, but playing with the Arduino is great fun whether I get there or not.

Live Online #145: Polar

I’ve finished my Shruthi-1 4-Pole Mission build, and in a personal victory also managed to flash the chip by myself. Damn, building these little boxes is highly addictive! It’s sounding great and I’m working on a demo track to show it off. Coming soon!

Live Online #144: Hearts

This week’s set opens with Village By The River, a track I last performed before I started recording these podcasts, and which I don’t recall having released before. You’ll also continue to hear the voice of the Shruthi-1 throughout the set. I’ve managed to change the Shruthi-1’s software to work a little better with a wind controller – all thanks to the (intended) hackability of this little box. I know I’m going on about the Shruthi-1, but it’s such a change to work with an instrument I assembled myself and to have direct access its creator along with a network of engaged enthusiasts. Speaking of Mutable Instruments, the Ambika and Anushri synths have just been announced – yummy stuff!

Live Online #143: Torn

I had an unpleasant experience doing a real-world performance some months ago where Windows 7 decided to do an update right as I was about to start my set. Somehow the Novation Nio’s midi driver got borked in the process and I ended up having to do the 4 hour set with no wind controller 8^/ Although it wasn’t Reason’s fault, I’ve been looking at my existing hardware to replace it as tone generator with the WX-5 wind controller. So, after scratching my head for months for a way to get my Shruthi-1 to respond to breath control, I thought I’d just plug the WX in and see what it does. It turns out that although I could find no mention of the fact in the documentation, the Shruthi-1 responds to breath control (MIDI cc2) out of the box. Bonus! Breath appears to be hardwired to filter cutoff. I’m still experimenting, but you can hear my playing the Shruthi-1 via the WX-5 all over this set. Enjoy!
