Show us your current studio- Too messy to show, but here are a few isolated shots ofsome gear. the sonic sculpture looks and feels complete, nothing more to add and along the way I have stripped away unnecessary gestures and layers. How do you know when a track is finished?Ĭompletely intuitive.
It feels like sonic T’ai Chi, or more specifically a T’aiChi form called Push Hands which is done with a partner and it is an exploration and exercise of moving energy. How do you most often start a new track?īy following the sound, listening to where it might takeme. Though my parents weren’t musical they played musicin the house (radio and phonograph) and there was a piano in the house that I began exploring at age 5. Moved permanently to Ashland, Oregon in my late teens. Originally the San Francisco Bay Area in California. Well a photo of me taken by my artist daughter, Ursula Barton Todd Barton Where are you from? I try to get every module I encounter to feedback and learn what that has to teach me, what I can discover from it. Most surprising tip/trick/technique that you’vediscovered about a bit of kit?įeedback. I’m going to interpret “annoying” as “tempermental” in which case my Easel. What’s the most annoying piece of gear you have,that you just can’t live without? It was a great entreand, I’d do it again. Though I learned about analog synthesis from a friends’ Easel back in the 1970’s, the first modular I owned was a Serge Modular Music System in 1979. If you had to start over, what would you get first? What gear has inspired you to produce the most music? Buchla 200eĬlearly my Buchla instruments, but I have also created a lot of music I love with my Hordijk and Serge systems. Is there anything you regret selling… or regret buying? Ooops, wait! They are 🙂 All of his modules with Makenoise: Morphagene, Mimeophon, Echophon,Erbeverb are the ones I have. I wish Tom Erbe’s Soundhack plugins were hardware.

What software do you wish was hardware and viceversa? What setup do you bring on holiday/tour/commuteetc.?

When I travel my favorite setup of my Buchla Music Easel plus a lunchbox of eurorack modules, ususally a Makenoise Morphagene or Epoch Hordijk Benjolin to bring into the Easel’s Aux In for manipulation and processing and the Intellijel Planar 2 for spatialization. Do you have an ‘almost’ perfect bit of kit? What would you change? Clearly I use the sliders a lot, since the printing is wearing off! 2. I prefer sliders to knobs, because I can more easily see where they are. For sliders, all the sliders on my Easel. They fit my hand nicely, feel good and I can see the index on the skirt.
Large blue, skirted Rogan knobs like on my Buchla 259 Complex Waveform Generator. Favourite knob/fader/switch on a piece of gear andwhy?
