Funny, Yet true

Voice to Spirit Album Preview in HD*

Here is a preview to our latest album to be released the 1st quarter of 2011. Its been a long time coming, but I feel the delays and hold ups where necessary for the current out come of the album. Its called "Leaving Confusion" and contains work (that's been re-worked) all the way back to 2005. Please enjoy.

What is the animation I see?
Its called a Circular Picket Fence Animation. The background images are still and the black ball is what moves. As it spins it reviles the different photos. Example here:

Voice to Spirit : Synth Session 04

I know that I've been away for a while so I made this. Just have been busy with the album which is nearly complete. Picked up some new gear and sold a lot of my old stuff. So this is kind of a introduction to the updated studio.

Voice to Spirit : Synth Session 03

I was watching this video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Offwev...
And was inspired to see what I could do.

I started off by splitting the drums to a clean channel, a ring mod channel, and the bit reduction channel. I used my instrument interface with its threshold to set the gate for envelope/amplifier for the oscillators. The frequency that the drums are being bit reduced and the X input to the ring mod is tracked to the keyboard, as wel as the frequency of the low pass filter. It turned out to be a fun project. The modular is passing through a Lexicon MX200 and a Behringer Bass V-amp Pro.

Voice to Spirit : Synth Session 02

Recently got a few new modules so I decided to see what I could do. Running a sequence into the modular via MIDI as well as running the drums and bass. Playing the lead by hand. Everything's in real time. The modular is passing through a Lexicon MX200 and a Behringer Bass V-amp Pro.
