Thanks to everyone who organised, operated, performed and chatted! A wonderful event as always, with so much amazing music!
I had left a large amount of my set to chance, and spent a lot of the time panicking because things weren't working like I thought they should. I don't think I will try that again. Still, this mostly just meant that things went a bit slower, and I would have had a hard time filling the 30 minutes if they hadn't!
I had planned to improvise some singing along with guitar and pedal synth (a Waldorf Rocket controlled by a Roland PK-5A), and I wrote the text while listening to the performances before my own:
Quote:
Sleep well, little archive
I will wear you when I die
An apparent death in an analogue suit
My digital pants will rest with you
My sampled ghost will rest in you
Sleep tight, little digits
You live and die in fire
Ice keeps you forever
You will be remembered
Every decade or so
Every century, a new awakening
A re-invention
Remembering what it was like to be alive
What it used to be
What is now
Rest gently, little folder
Our memory will be full
Everyone gets a cell
Everyone a tight embrace
A personalized signature
A unique name
An exact coordinate
This is where we will find out
What frozen time is like
This is where your bed is made
In the dreaming machine
Larger than the universe
Closer than your beating heart
So slow
Sleep well, little god
We will take your eyes
There is nothing more to see
We will take your heart
There is nowhere left to go
You will have all the music
You will have all the words
You will have me

We couldn't find Ganzha so instead I played something that I recorded the night before
while testing the setup that was later used for the AcidTrasH performance
Thanks for all the great music and best wishes for 2015!

Kevin's Modular Improvisation for December 2014
Here is my the recording of my offering for the December 2014 NYE electro-music.com streaming event.
This is a continuation of the direction I've taken over the last few years:
1) I didn't quantize the pitches so that I can access micro-tones
2) I'm using the Klee Sequencer and the Looperlative as "real time compositional tools"
My specific goals for this performance were:
1) work out the panning so that it is a little more subtle than in the past
2) do an extended section with the CGS Super Psycho Modulation Source (frankly, I could do an entire set with it)
3) Utilize my (original) Aries AR-327 filter (the very clear filter sweep harmonics -- around 18:45 -- is a characteristic of the 327 with a technology that Aries called "dynamic Q compression")
4) Mix with the Mackie Mixer instead of the RME interface
. a. The Mackie mixer is more intuitive than the digital mixer
. b. There is no latency with an analog signal chain
Well, how did it turn out?
Often times, my rehearsals go better than the performance but in this case, the performance went better than the rehearsal.
I really like this artform: to improvise with the modular synth and I want to do it more often and am considering a radio-program here on electro-music.com.
I am between moves and my equipment is temporarily set up in my parents' basement. I will be in the process of moving over the next month or two and I will have a new permanent studio location soon. So perhaps I can start sometime later this year.
My goal is to perform an equinox set from the new location.
As always, thanks to the stream operators, performers, and listeners.
Happy New Year to one and all!

Tried recording my set with the butt program and I forgot to rename from last recording title and it did not record .Bummer.
So if anybody recorded my set please let me know _________________ "I'm the transmitter' I give information."

Here's my performance. Thank you to everyone who performed and were behind the scenes making sure everything went without a hitch. In general I'm happy with the performance - still have to work on integrating some more physical controllers. I've actually been considering getting a touch screen monitor for pseudo-hands-on control of the soft-synths. Most of what I did involved using patches with arps and then playing 'within the arp'. Was quite fun. Hopefully by the next performance I'll have my modular operating.
Hope you enjoyed 'Music For The Uncommon Ear"

Here's my set. I am also posting the audio clip that I reused of a small piece of a 1973 talk by Leonard Bernstein on The Future of Music. This sound bite is reversed and heavily processed by Kyma in the first part of the recording. It is ironic in two ways: Bernstein emphasizes tonality in the opening, inherently atonal and chromatic section of the piece, but then the piece goes on to become tonal a la Berstein's suggestion, thereby contradicting the first irony, thus comprising the second irony.
Unlike pieces that start with a theme that decomposes along melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, timbral, or other dimensions, my idea with this piece was to start with the deconstruction and construct from there. The sound of the first section is inspired by the dark sounds of many dark looking sci fi movies and TV shows these days.
Thanks to everyone who worked and played so hard to put on this event. It gives me something special to look forward to, its own sort of holiday.

Here's the AcidTrasH set
line-up for this performance was: 1:11, Mateo, Jukka, PHOBoS and I think that David (from Fake Snake) was also playing.
We used ninjam, which crashed midway so it's in 2 parts.

I had a great time. Thanks everyone, especially the stream ops who were so available and kind. I did not anticipate the holiday buzz in the air and I was less able to listen to many performances due to other obligations throughout the day. I had much more time to chill and chat during the The Mars/Equinox event and sort of missed that this time around. Fortunately I see many sets being posted and I'm stoked to listen to them. I'll get mine up sometime soon. I haven't touched it yet, but the waveform looked like it was indeed recorded and my memory of it seems to keep me satisfied.

Here's my performance from the evening. The only thing planned beforehand was patch selection and I also had a vague idea of modality. I was able to record the set using my host (Usine Hollyhock) as a 32-bit WAV and then converted it to a high-quality mp3 with Audacity. I fixed 3 slight issues I had with my looping technique and also did light mastering on it. Enjoy!

Thanks to all the great performers. I really enjoyed what I was able to listen to. I will be listening to everything I missed that gets posted, so please share your recordings.
Thanks to all the stream ops for taking time out of their day to switch for the event (Jez, Steve and PHOBoS).
And a special thanks to PHOBoS for all the extra help tying up loose ends. There was more to planning this event than I knew, and on top of it all I was feeling ill for most of the planning period. He helped take care of stuff I didn't know about, and I never even had to ask for the help
