Glacial Communications

So let’s recap since it’s been a while:

• Released GLAC-18, but you knew that already.
• Played a live show with my friend C. Randolph C. at Bela Dubby, and totally rocked the place.
• Starting working out concepts for the next couple of recordings (DIY volume II, and something else I’m not ready to talk about here yet)
• Finally Really started getting down to brass tacks on this modular thing

How so? Well, I’ve accumulated two rows of Synthcase GhettoRACK, a couple of Blacet kits,  and enough PCBs, parts, and blank panels which will house the following stuff once built:

• Blacet MIDIverter
• Blacet Miniwave
• Blacet Dual Filter
• MFOS ADSR
• MFOS VCLFO
• MFOS Quantizer
• Dual Thomas White/Buchla Resonant Lowpass Gates
• Fonitronik Sequential Switch – I’m either going to normal this with built-in CVs, or build some kind of “quad voltage source” on a separate module.
• Fonitronik PS3100 Resonators
• Some sort of VCO would probably be good too – likely the TH XR2206 one, since I’ve got a few of those laying around. Once my finances recover from all of this, I think Magic Smoke will be getting an order from me…

Combine those with the SN-Voice and Supercontroller I’m still poking at in the enclosure I found last year as well as some other things on the table and I think some mayhem just might ensue…

It’s finally, completely, done.

GLAC-18- DIY volume 1: Signal Intercept.

31 minutes of instruments I either built or repaired myself.

I’m told that our partner in crime for this release, Everyone Else Has A Record Label, So Why Can’t I? has made up an initial batch of the cassette. You should be able to get it through them, or me once I get a handful of them, probably on Friday (8/07/2009).

I’m trying to also work out a mechanism for getting digital copies to people that works to the satisfaction of all parties involved. If there’s interest, let me know, but I’m not guaranteeing anything yet.

Now I’ve really got to get cracking on Volume II, but it needs more gear finished before I start…
