For one month only - FREE DOWNLOAD of my latest album: Hexany Diamonds and Others

HEXANY DIAMONDS AND OTHERS (2019) is a collection of 13 ten minute pieces from 2019.  All are microtonal in some sense, and all are algorithmic in some sense as well.  For ONE MONTH ONLY, you can download this for free from:

When you get to the website above, you don't have to log in or anything like that, just click on "Download" in the upper right.  278 MB later, the album in MP3 form, will be yours.  But hurry, this will expire on Feb 29.  If you do download it, and you like what you hear, drop me a line - I'd love to get some feedback.

The picture above is a Google Maps grab - it shows a picnic table at Chance Cove in Newfoundland.  One of the pieces in the album is called "Picnic Table in Chance Cove."  All will be explained in the liner notes of the album (grin).  Hope you like it!

I'm back after a break - and November and January Soundbytes Articles

I'm back on this website after a break.  Other things took my attention.  Now back to business.

SOUNDBYTES MAGAZINE - November and January articles:

https://soundbytesmag.net/review-toy-suite-from-uvi/

First up, a review of the new Toy Suite from UVI - a wonderful and sometimes very silly set of samples.

And here are seven new apps - an amazing update of Virtual ANS 3, and a noise making app from Alexander Zolotov; a mini-analog synth app for iOS, a porting of VCV Rack - miRack - to iOS; four modules that emulate the Mutable Instruments Eurorack modules, again for iOS; Harmonic Chimes, a very nice additive synthesis just-intonation sound-sculpture generator; and another in Eventide's ongoing series of ports of their H9 series of plugins to the iPad/iPhone.

And we follow that up two months later with three more iPad apps: Rhythm Bud, which is the latest in Cem Olkay's series of MIDI sequencing apps - this one takes a rhythm based approach to making generative patterns; and two more in the Eventide series: QVox (an up to four voice harmonizer), and Mangled Verb, which has some of the most crunchy distortion I've ever encountered.

Finally, a review of a synthesizer that has been a mainstay of desktop systems for a while, now successfully ported to the iOS platform.  The microtonal features of this have been upgraded and are now quite useful - as well, there are some very interesting timbral capabilities here.  Well worth a look, if you're on the iOS platform and are interested in microtonality.

Enjoy!
