Inhabiting Auvergne Volcanoes Park, France, Raph and Trush true originals. Together they make up Mega Voyelle.

Trush is an acoustic and electric guitarist, self-taught, addict to electronic music employing various samplers and modular synths.

Raph is a keyboardist, or rather classical pianist; an inveterate adept of intoxicating rhythms and planing parts. She searches for these rhythms in her piano playing as well as in her synth sounds.

Together they are electronic music enthusiasts working in the studio and through live performances to mock norms and fashions, while working to get closer to a musical ideal. Their musical ideal is to have fun, to be together, and to help evolve the face of music

by proposing and generating novelties from improbability, from astonishment; sometimes even disturbing people to achieve this ideal.

They hope to share the fun they have making music while at the same time making people think, laugh, and feel a spectrum of emotions. The goal is to create sounds that will affect and inspire the listener to the point at which the music evokes a change.

Radek Rudnicki and Maho Cwejman play modular synthesizer based electronica with unique post dub and industrial influences. Dense textures are mixed with micro grooves and precise Cwejman modular sounds. Duo takes listeners to the journey going through ambient, noise and heavy beat based grooves.

Maho and Radek are also running workshops focused on modular synthesis that compliment their set and show techniques used in their performances. This involves showing Cwejman modules, patching techniques and how to get the most out of them.

Resynthesize is Northern California producer Brandon Tallent, who has been producing and DJing since the late 90s.  He got his start in the demo scene using the MS-DOS program Impulse Tracker before eventually moving to modern DAWs and finally discovering modular synthesizers. He has released several albums and EPs which are all available on Bandcamp and Spotify, and regularly posts modular related videos on Instagram.  While he has written lots of IDM and glitch-hop influenced music in the past, these days he is mostly focused on minimal techno and tech house.

Hypercube is an explorative multi-dimensional project to awaken layers of the subconscious bringing to life elements of aborted universal chaos and structurally disrupted social systems,  a journey into the realms of complexity, a parallel world of multiple instabilities, asymmetric dreams, paraplegic mutant sonic exposure, astigmatic rhythms and molecular revelations.


Track info:

The first minute of this recording comprises the sound output of my neural cortex which has been captured by an Emotiv EPOC Brain to Computer interface (EEG technology) The sound is generated through a computer program written in C++ and OpenFrameworks. The remaining of the track includes various recordings made at different stages some of which have been imported with different sample rate compared to the arrangement to alter the speed and adaptation.

Julien Palomo a.k.a. Improvising Being(s) has a background in Free Jazz and free improvisation before electronic music. His chaotic work, created mainly on vintage analogue modular synthesizers, ARP 2600 and EMS Synthi E, is a physical take on repetitive minimalism and drone, which has been described as "symphonic noise" . It is nonetheless open to melody and nostalgia, with much attention give to timbres and textures. He has published a CD on Entr'Acte in 2016, numerous albums for netlabels (Muteant Sounds, God Hates God, Mahorka...) and is the other half of the Other Matter duo with Michel Kristof.

Mylar Melodies is known for his rather fantastic youtube channel exploring modular synth gear and technique, with a particular emphasis on live performance modulars. He has been exploring and producing electronic music for nearly 20 years.

This original set was entirely improvised live, in one take, using his live modular performance system explored in recent videos on his Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/mylarmelodies - the final session was trimmed then mastered.

If you like what you hear, you can support Mylar Melodies by buying this set for download/streaming in lossless quality at: http://mylarmelodies.bandcamp.com

Mylar’s own podcast called Why We Bleep, features fascinating long form interviews with electronic musicians and manufacturers and comes highly recommended.
