Delayed Gratification – You’ve Got Mail

I was doing some spelunking through the latest firmware update for the Arturia Origin synth, and came across an arpeggiated patch that really caught my ear. I tweaked and recorded a quick sketch to add to a database for organizing some of the ideas around a personal music project (which you’ll eventually see and hear on my other site – LPHovercraft.org). I thought it would be a cool sound to use in a desktop sound scheme, and found that I could simply set the Thunderbird email client to sound off any audio file when new mail arrives. So now this is my “you’ve got mail” indicator – and so I thought I’d share it. You can download it here.

Here I am – partly brain-fried from the seemingly endless series of demos at the NAMM show. Still, it’s been a lot of fun to meet people and show off my rig. When it dawned on me that I’d be breaking down this entire studio and taking back to Studio City in less than 48 hours, I wasn’t smiling so much any more. :)

How my “new” Origin synthesizer made it home

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

This is how I brought my “new” synthesizer home today – strapped to the back of my Burgman.

I wanted to have it on hand for a video shoot in the studio, so instead of waiting for a friend with a car or truck to bail me out, I took matters into my own hands – or should I say – into my cargo net. :) I refer to “new” in quotes because this is actually a prototype machine, and has be in service for sound design for a while now. I’m stoked to have it in my studio and ready to put it to work.
