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…

@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.

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).

A photo of my music studio. A corner desk unit with display and speakers mounted at eye and ear height. A mixer sits below the display and directly below that is my Sherman Filterbank 2. To the right is a MIDI Fader control and in the centre is a Wacom tablet. The keyboard tray holds a mechanical keyboard and to keep my hands in good and proper position is my Wristiplinarian (Stern Computer Accessory) which is a strip of one inch chromed spikes mounted on a strip of black leather.

#Benjolin time. There's a new #VCVRack patch that I've modified to use Plaits as an external drone and have mapped my MIDI Fader Control to. I am finding it to be rather fun to perform and can see this (and other performances) becoming texture beds for future #BonkWave adjacent #ElectronicMusic work.

Caution! Starts quiet and gets loud. Be kind to your ears and don't turn it up at the start.

Meet the Benjolin, a chaos-driven feedback-fueled insane dream/nightmare of synth voice! It's one of the many fine contributions to synthesis by Rob Hordijk, and it's one of my favorite synths of all time. Learn all about its mysteries here:

@etherdiver @synth @synths @modularsynth I adore the #Benjolin -the sound of electrons!

The METSÄÄN version of the legendary BENJOLIN in eurorack format is available again. Letting the rungler run in memory of Rob Hordijk. This time with more suitable looking knobs. Compared to the original circuit this is vers. 1.6 by Forestcaver with output amplified to eurorack level . Interested?

@dtauvdiodr My dream Eurorack has a #Benjolin in it. There's also probably a #Sealegs and a #Nautilus in it too. Just a dream for the moment, but I've made a passable Sealegs in VCV Rack and there's a Benjolin there too.

I was just entering the flow state when the leak happened yesterday. Today I completed the #ElectronicMusic exercise I had started. Driving the Swam Horn #VST in #Bitwig through ExpressiveE's Touche is a dream. There will be more #BonkWave for #SwamHorns and #Benjolin

@attksthdrknss my track is also the first time I’ve used a #Benjolin ( #VCVRack ) as a texture voice. There are also #VST horns and ocean waves in my#BonkWave offering.
