For quite a while I was looking for a synth with juice and finally I’ve decided to go with the MicroBrute (brother of MiniBrute) from Arturia.
Lots of knobs and lots of fun, but playing with a certain size of fingers can be a challenge. In combination with Octatrack I’ll give you some insight about my setup how I play with MicroBrute. Talk to you soon.
Hi folks, we just added a new show on march 26 2014 at Hey City Music Club in Zurich, join us!
With the Octatrack (Dynamic Performance Sampler) we can quickly record and replay audio. Combining two buttons on the octatrack we can record long or very short audio from any source, which can be triggered and played around. The trigs and effects are then in sync with the tempo. Especially the Trumpet sound will be a great part in our audio snippets recording.
We think, this will add some juice to our unique Wolkenpark-Sound.

Hi folks, the newest addition to my setup is a T.C. Helicon Voice Live Rack Harmonizer. I worked in the early eighties a lot with intelligent pitch shifters (still have a Digitech IPS 33B intelligent Pitch Shifter and an Eventide H3000SE), but T.C. beats them all 🙂 you’ll hear soon what I’m talking about…
Stay tuned

We always change our setup for the better. Our goal is to provide the best live-composed music on stage. Many times we reroute the audio signal or the midi-clock signal.
Our two computers and iPad are interconnected, so we can change parameters from the other performance’s setup. This might be scary, but it’s necessary and very useful, when you have to compose in real-time.
The acoustic department of ETH Zürich organises regularly open lectures. The following event could be of interest to anybody interested in new acoustic technologies:
Entwicklung eines optischen Mikrofons ohne Membran
Kondensatormikrofone blicken auf eine erfolgreiche, rund 80-jährige Entwicklungsgeschichte zurück und stellen heute für präzise Schallwandlung den Marktstandard dar. Auf einem grundlegend anderen Prinzip beruht das optische Mikrofon ohne Membran, welches im Kolloquium vorgestellt wird. Mit Hilfe einer Laserdiode und einem miniaturisierten, starren Interferometer bestehend aus zwei parallelen Spiegeln, werden Schallwellen über Änderungen des Brechungsindex der Luft in ein proportionales elektrisches Signal gewandet. Das Mikrofon kommt dabei gänzlich ohne bewegliche Teile wie beispielsweise einer Membran aus, woraus sich eine Reihe von interessanten Eigenschaften und Vorteilen ergeben. Die gegenwärtige Produktentwicklung im Rahmen eines Start-ups soll präsentiert werden.
