Took delivery of my Behringer Syncussion SY-1 today. It’s a cheap, Eurorackable twin channel percussion synth cloned from the Pearl original which despite its simplicity, is very tweakable for usage beyond percussion. This whole track was sequenced from Beatstep Pro, multitracked in AUM on iPad… and used the Syncussion as the only instrument.

“Now that we who survived have reconstructed a civilization on a rational basis, we want to preserve for future generations as many accounts as possible by the actual witnesses of the catastrophe that overtook the world” - from ‘When The Moon Fell’ by Morrison Colladay, first published 1929.

An experiment in semi generative composition in AUM on iPad, with multiple sequencers working from an initial live input, driving the BS16 SoundFont player ‘Grand Piano’ preset. Hilda synth on quasi-guitar backing. No actual keyboards were harmed in the making of this noise.

You demanded proof, and bade me call for my friends from over the mountain. Now they are upon you, and payment for your doubting will be exacted. In full.

The recently declassified Wildfire Facility was constructed during the 1960s Apollo space program era to offer a last ditch defence against any out of control extraterrestrial biohazards returning astronauts might unwittingly bring back with them. Capabilities included nuclear sterilisation protocols.

Created entirely with apps in AUM on iPad.

Conplan 8888 is the US goverment’s real world military mobilisation plan to respond to a 28 Days Later-style ‘zombie virus‘ pandemic apocalypse. Nice to know there is at least a plan…

Created in AUM on IPad using 4 instances of Igor Vasiliev’s NoiseSpace app, Alteza reverb, and nothing else.
