This preview of the upcoming #Venom #VCVRack #Venjolin (#Benjolin Dave Benjamin, AKA Venom style) preview is very, very interesting. Could be #BonkWave or even #NotBonkWave

Venom Venjolin Sneak Peek

@mosgaard @doktorlond @bazkie @jwcph I think I fit in a more minimalist space where a possible new track for the Winter #BonkWave release tops out at 7-11 tracks for mixing. However, the #Benjolin patch track has a remarkably large amount of sound going on in it though.

I'm also experimenting with sticking to a limited pallet of plugins (Airwindows ConsoleLA & ToTape, VCV Rack and TUS Access Virus).

I'm nearing the point of calling this track done as I don't really want to over-polish it.

My beloved is #ReadingAloud the #JohnVarley novel #RollingThunder to me. It's a favourite past time where I get read to while I prepare meals. We've just gotten to the part where the protagonist has made #ElectronicMusic played against the sped up synchronous tone sequences made by some curious artefacts.

Friends, I think this may be a reference to a form of proto #BonkWave or #NotBonkWave as it sounds very much like what happens when I hear #Benjolin and #TuringMachine sequences and try to harmonise with it. It could also be #SpaceJazz.

20251019 - Jörn Vanselow: Random Notes

Here is a video sample of my studio in action. A pleasant and trancelike #Benjolin patch is playing through #VCVRack this could become #BonkWave

This is where I make #BonkWave and #NotBonkWave and also #HonkWave - on the display is #BitwigStudio and #VCVRack is open and showing a most excellent #Benjolin patch. This is being controlled and performed via a BCF2000 MIDI Fader Control. Sharp eyed observers may also notice that there is a French Horn track in Bitwig.

I like to perform a texture bed of sound with the Benjolin and then improvise horn lines over the top. Sometimes percussion finds its way for a time and then is removed. Or not.

Down below and in front of my keyboard is a home-made alternative ergonomic device which I call the "Wristiplinarian" - an alternating row of 25 1-inch chrome spikes affixed to a strip of black leather that I made around 27 years ago and have had at my keyboard ever since. It works a treat for keeping your wrists up and fingers depending gracefully over the keys (my #carpal #RSI has been pretty much gone the entire time it has been there).
