This is the latest installment of my eurorack modular synth build process. Its been about 10 months of buying and learning new modules and understanding the new permutations that come with each purchase. I am still a little cloudy on the Maths module but otherwise feel like I have a solid handle on most everything else. I had started a new track and let it languish a little as other commitments were getting in the way, but the purchase of a used Fender Jazz Bass was enough to get me back in the studio playing with some sounds, and the modular patch I was working with started sounding interesting, so I rolled a little video.
recent redvoid music happenings
Well, Steve Rush aka funky49 reminded me I hadn’t blogged in over 4 months so I decided to do a recent events update to say what’s been going on during this time period. So here goes:

Static Grooves
I started a new electronica group called Static Grooves that consists of myself, Glen Carter aka Thee DJ Q, and Jason Filipini aka Thee Joker. The live performance aspect of the group is based around all 3 of us running an Ableton Live rig with controllerism interfaces, and doing some other live performance type work as well leaning toward the improvisational. So for me, the task is playing jazz trombone improv over the Liquid D&B and deep-house grooves, and for Thee Joker, it is his chance to do vinyl turntablistics, and for Glen it is throwing dub delayed samples via midi controller locked to the clock of the current main groove DJ which is a job that rotates between the 3 of us, while the others do their improv performance bit. We started out on a lark by doing a frat party and just improvising while the others dropped grooves, and so we came up with the name, and immediately got a monthly residency at The Improv comedy club in Ybor City in the front bar after the comedy show lets out, which quickly turned into a bimonthly residency, which led to us being featured as the TBT “Artist of the Day” featuring photos of us in downtown from our recent photo shoot by alignbetween, and being mentioned by Wired Blogger HipsterPlease on his blog, and we also posted up a MySpace page and a Twitter stream. On the MySpace page, we posted a 3 part audio demo called “Live @ The Improv Parts I-III”. Most recently we did a show for the Sig Ep fraternity of USF with a “School Boys & School Girls” theme which was at Skate Park Tampa, and was off the chain.
throw your own renegade party with a rhino cube
Imagine for a minute that you had a portable DJ setup, a complete PA sound system with banging subwoofers, and a complete night club style lighting rig, but rather than having to tote a truck load of flight cases, racks, trusses, stands, gig bags and crates full of cables to be hooked up, it was [...]
