I’m off to Leeds with briefcase modular synth in tow for a performance of ‘Machine Time’, inspired by the spacetime-distorting cybernetic soundscapes of Roland Kayn.
Also giving a paper w/ @stephenroddy.bsky.social on some media archaeology of Kayn & Jaap Vink’s pioneering musical cybernetics.

Wonderfully diverse paper topics yesterday, at @scsmi.bsky.social SCSMI 2025, and a very high standard of discussion throughout. Looking forward to continuing discussions about how the soundtrack influences our experiences of the moving image

This Sunday, I’ll be premiering my new piece ‘Machine Time’ at this brand new festival of electronic and experimental music in Derry.
Expect evolving microtonal interlocking feedback loops in a modular synthesiser, influenced by the machine music of Roland Kayn and Jaap Vink.

Managed to grab a few mins in the Ulster Uni Magee studio today to install our new modular synth keyboard and case (Cre8audio Niftykeyz)
A few more modules to be added (some waiting in storage in the treasure chest), but enough to make some noise

It’s not an echo chamber. More a feedback chamber!
Like the Jaap Vink cybernetic music patch, which myself and @stephenroddy.bsky.social discussed in our recent Cybernetic Resurgences presentation at ubimus24.
Check out Tazelaar’s video demo and tutorial.
