Concert on 31 Oct in Paris

On 31 October 2021 was a concert at the Acousmonium at Paris Radio.  As part of that concert (a series of 5 concerts), my piece "Darshan with a Pelican: Multiplicities" was performed.  I would have performed the piece live - (5 channels, with each channel routed to 8 loudspeakers) - but COVID intervened, and so Jules Negrier performed the piece instead.  Here's a photo of the concert hall:

And here's the program booklet for the two days:

Hope you enjoy the booklet and the concert hall photo.  

Soundbytes Reviews May 2021

Four articles in Soundbytes this month ( soundbytesmag.net ) with five things reviewed:

https://soundbytesmag.net/review-mts-esp-free-and-suite/

First up, an in-depth review of the brand new MTS-ESP software from OddSound. (shown above)  This is a really wonderful new program that promises to change the way microtonality is done on computers.  WELL worth checking out.

Two new sampled string instruments.  One new, one ancient.  Both sound beautiful.

UVIs wonderful Sparkverb is now available for iPad and iPhone. Beautiful sustaining reverbs!

And finally, a realization of Xenakis' UPIC system - UPISketch2 from the European University Cyprus and the Centre Iannis Xenakis.  A lot of fun with samples and sound-stretching and combining sounds to get maximum sonic SKRONK.

Enjoy!

Five places to find Warren Burt music on line these days

Various internet things have coalesced, and are now up on the net for you viewing, listening, dining and dancing pleasure.  In fact there are five of them up now:

1) Global Weirding from SutroFM, San Francisco.

A YouTube version of the show, an anthology of excerpts from works from 1973-2020, with program notes as the video, is available, posted by Nicolas Serafin, who produces Global Weirding.

Also, a SoundCloud version of the show is available HERE.

2) Modulisme, Session 38.

Produced by Philippe Petit, this is an episode in his ongling Modulisme series which focuses on music made with modular synthesizers.  In my session, we hear two 1972 Buchla pieces, which were early versions of the patches that later were used in Aardvarks IV.  Click HERE to hear the program.  OR HERE.

3) Also from Philippe Petit is "Voices of the Serge-o-Vox," a compliation of 80 pieces made with the Serge Synthesizer over the years.  Three pieces of mine are included in Volumes 1, 2 and 3.  All four sessions provide lots of interesting listening.

Volume 1

Volume 2

Volume 3

Volume 4

4) Max Shea's ongoing Martian Gardens series provides lots of interesting listening.  Episode 1053 began hour 3 with "The Slowly Gathering Soliloquy" from Cellular Etudes (2013).  You can find the whole podcast HERE, in fact you can find all the podcasts at that address.  Steer to Episode 1053 for my piece.

5) Finally, let's not forget "12x12: Evening in Landcox Park" for tuning forks from 1998, where myself, Ernie Althoff and Brigid Burke accompanied the advancing twilight with multi-tracked recordings of tuning forks and evening park sounds.  It's on the Neuma Records SoundCloud site, which has a lot of other treasures on it as well.  That's HERE.

Lots of stuff to enjoy there.  Cheers.

Soundbytes Magazine March 2021 Reviews

Three reviews in the current issue of Soundbytes.  www.soundbytesmag.net

https://soundbytesmag.net/music-for-tablets-riffer-from-audiomodern/

First up is a review of the iOS version of AudioModern's very attractive new performance sequencer, Riffer.  It also exists in version for Mac and PC.

https://soundbytesmag.net/review-px-memories-by-uvi/

And UVI has sampled a vintage MemoryMoog with the full LAMM upgrade.  You'll find some very luscious timbres here, made by the MemoryMoog's 18-oscillator complement.

https://soundbytesmag.net/review-vocoder-v-from-arturia/

And finally, a review of Arturia's elegant new Vocoder, also based on a Moog design, but with many new features to make it even more versatile.

Lots of new toys here to read about!

More Internet Radio than you can shake a stick at

I'm appearing on a whole bunch of Internet Radio things this weekend.  Some of them will hang around for later listening, some not.  Here they are:

Modulisme Session No. 38 - Warren Burt - produced by Philippe Petit, it's got two of my pieces from 1972 (which later were re-written to become movements of Aardvarks IV) made on the Buchla at UCSD.  Also available on Bandcamp:

This next one is LIVE ONLY - and it's soon.  ON Modular-Station.com, I'm the featured artist between 7pm and 8 pm Sunday March 7 Paris time.  They're going to play my 1974 piece (made with the Serge, Daisy, a Motorola Scalatron Organ, and a PDP 11 computer programmed by scientist J. Christopher Wells.)  The name of the piece is "Harmonia Mundane."
