hello list,

several weeks ago, Dave Vosh offered me a dvd with a
live performance (including modular synths) of his
project "SAFE", and also his Safe" project's cdr
album(in return, i offered him my latest PW cd album).

we agreed that, if we liked each other's work, we
would make some comments in the a100 group.

(let me mention this, btw: this group is for
discussion of everything having to do with the a100
modular. that includes music and albums made with the
a100 also, not only a100 technical issues and future
modules requests!
a modular is a musical instrument above all...
some members seem to forget that, probably... )

i have to mention that the dvd of the dave's SAFE
project live performance is really interesting, as it
combines live modular synth manipulation (doepfer a100
and wiard 300 series modular, including few other euro
modules), combined with processed banjo (!) and
acoustic guitar.
the tecniques used in proseccing the banjo and the
guitar were very interesting and also at some point
there was guitar playing with a bottle... (and in the
bonus dvd included with the cdr album, there was a
point where small balls were thrown at a stringed
instrument and then processing the resulting sound...
very "far out"...)
the overal sound was in an avant-guard experimental
and at times noisy style. that means nice!
anyway, it was a very interesting live performance and
some creative intruments playing.

the album of the "Safe" project was in a similar style
with 4 long tracks of mainly atonal music based mostly
on atmospheres and scapes. if you are into
ambient/experimental and noisy stuff, you'll like the
safe album for sure. i enjoyed it!

glad that you are actually using your a100 to make
music that results in a finished product David!

modulars are actually musical instruments and not only
endless noodling creators...

and a bravo for having the courage to take your a100
live on stage... :-)

best regards,
Bakis.
