I made an announcement on the FB event group and tagged the remaining untested ones. I suspect they will be coming in today and tomorrow. _________________ ElectroCasa

(intentional double post - the same message is on the Facebook EM 2013 Solstice topic page)
Hello Everyone!
I pre-recorded my set, since my time slot has a direct conflict with my son's high school graduation ceremony!
But no worries. Charles Shriner is doing me an awesome favor an broadcasting the file for me from his port at my allotted time:
0130 GMT (Robert Dorschel)
I've changed the name of my performance to
"Requiem for the Cicada"
Hopefully all will go well. If not? I have the recording to share with whomever would like a copy (or it will eventually end up on soundcloud).
Thanks and good luck to all the performers!

MP3 of my Improvisation Subject description: Improvisation for the 2013 June Solstice Event
This is another improvised composition performed in real-time on my DIY analog modular synthesizer. It is a continuation of techniques that I've developed over the last few years.
My interest has been to construct music that uses pseudo-randomness -- that is, events that appear to be random but over time reveal themselves as part of an entire texture.
Also, I pondered the possibility of an analog sequencer with enough steps to fill a very long loop (I consider a Very Long Loop to be a loop that is so long that it's identity as a loop isn't apparent -- in general > 20 seconds). The solution that I came up with is to mix the outputs from four VCO's and use them as a control voltage. At the beginning of the Very Long Loop, all the oscillators are reset via a sync signal. This assures that at any given clock position in the loop, the sampled control voltage would be consistent, thus realizing a sequential pattern the same length as the loop.
I chose for today's work to use un-quantized voltage samples to yield microtones.
My thought is that, though the sequence is too long to be human-detectable, the sequence would create a sense of unity to the improvisation.
The resulting patch for this performance is dependent upon a human performer. The patch's control signals manage the complex control voltages and the sample/hold function. The human, in turn, plays the keyboards, makes many adjustments to the patch, and reacts to the events.
Thus, my goal was to create a kind of real-time composition from complex, microtonal material along with spontaneous human input that is required to make this work.

Here's my set. Thanks everyone for a lovely event, splendid performances all around, smooth operation by the stream angels, and a great time in the chat.
I used a bunch of stuff, including:
A homemade perf on the Nord Modular G2 for making waves, robots talking and some effects for electric piano and other stuff.
Some Octatrack, including a talking sample that I glitched around with.
A fast arpeggio on the modular that went into an Electroharmonix H.O.G using the freeze/gliss effect.
Hullo , had a great day yesterday listening to all the sounds and some beats , modulars , noise boxes , sequencing. also liked the nice ambients stuff too .
Here is my set using the modular & soundlab++ , matrix 6R , waldrf Pulse ,and the old Korg X5 all run/clocked by the RM1X hardware sequ.
Dave.

Here is my set! Guitar and electronics with a bit of an Absynth patch towards the beginning. Great to be a part of this event! So much great music and fun times in the chat!
