Ended the weekend and welcomed the week with In den Gärten Pharaos ("In Pharaoh's Gardens") the second album by German band Popol Vuh, released in 1971 by record label Pilz.

On side A is the title track "In den Gärten Pharaos", an ancient, contemplative meditation with the sound of rippling water, Moog synthesizer, Fender Rhodes, and African percussion. The Moog creates an exotic and alien sound while the African percussion and the water effects are interwoven throughout bringing the listener back to earth.[citation needed] The track was recorded at Trixi Studio in Munich.

The second song "Vuh" is dominated by one massive organ chord creating an epic wall of sound. "Vuh" uses the wide range of the organ, both the low drones and the high crescendos. Turkish percussion and layers of cymbals increase the intensity of the music... - Wikipedia

its still #bandcampfriday AoE time - some late night distorted gong and analog modular doom / ambient vibes from my album on #kamizdat from a few years ago... all made with #linuxaudio #ardour #supercollider #gong #moog https://robcanning.bandcamp.com/track/01 another one coming soon...

Video description: Lisa is seen standing in a medium size room with a wood floor and some windows behind her. There are six or eight keyboard since arranged in a semicircle in two or three rows. There is a colorful. #moog matriarch, and grandmother draped with lots of patch cables. There are also some arps and Oberheim’s. There are also two chairs which she occasionally sits in.

This is Lisa Bella Donna, one of my favorite artists! I wish I could perform like this someday! #analog_synthesizers #synths #moog #ambient_music #modularSynth

Affenstunde ("Hour of the Monkey")[2] is the first album by German band Popol Vuh. Originally released in 1970 in Germany by Liberty Records, it has been reissued several times by various international labels. The 2004 German SPV edition features one previously unreleased bonus track. It is a notable early example of the Moog synthesizer being used for the production and composition of original music.

Julian Cope described it as "a debut album of incredible sounds and sensations that were unlike anything prior to its existence". David Stubbs described the album as sounding "otherworldly, beguiling, perhaps precisely because of its 'datedness', its raw technological naïveté" - Wikipedia

I Belong To A World That's Destroying Itself. Aka Revenge by Annette Peacock, released in 2014 on Ironic Records (and originally in 1971 on Polydor)

Review by Thom Jurek

Recorded live in various studios in 1968 and 1969 (written and arranged completely by Peacock), this is one of, if not the, very first record to feature a Moog Synthesizer modulating lead vocals. The rough recording aspect -- understandable given technological limitations at the time -- is actually a boon to this version; it is remarkably fresh, raw, energizing, and prophetic even now... The testifying title track is an environmental anthem that demands a return to natural sources; its poetry is just as bracing in the 21st century, and absolutely free of idle sentiment. The gospel stomp of the B-3, electric bass, and breaking drums frame her distorted vocal, adding primal urgency and steely poignancy...

Alesis QuadraSynth "Keys" providing the Rhodes electric piano sound, through serious reverb (a little tricky to play, having to hit slightly early compared to the drums due to the reverb delay). Other synths include the Korg M3R (M1 in a rack) and the Moog D for the bass sounds and the Crumar Bit 99, a classic Italian synth, for the hauting melody line.

Besides the drums, track starts with a #Solina #String Ensemble. For bass, I ended up using an #Alesis #Quadrasynth for a #Vox organ patch for part of it (the other part being a #Moog D), a #Roland #Jupiter8 (JP-08) for some of the tremolo chords (love that #synth sound), a Roland Juno-106 (HS-60) for the main melody while a #Yamaha FB-01 (a very cool pad sound), Casio CZ-101 & Octave Cat complement those. Finally, the solo in the middle is done on a Sequential Six-Trak (the Drumtrak's brother).

Another live sonic journey from the Photosynthesis studios.

This time it’s by Rachel Carns, one of my all time favorite musicians/artists (The Need, Kicking Giant, Nudity, The King Cobra/Twin, and many others), performing on a Moog Grandmother and a Korg Multi Poly.

The bassline was provided by a Moog bass sound with resonance and no release, with note changes on the backbeat. This was recorded alongside the drums and the melody which was done on a Roland HS-60 Synth Plus, basically a Juno 106S with stereo speakers and expression pedal in a very sober grey finish through a Boss distortion pedal.

Day 22, cue was "Toxin". Decided to do something altogether different. Search for something public domain that would have some toxin involved and use some samples. Of course I used an interview for day 10, "Triangulation", but that was different. Here, I chose bits and pieces and laid them out as part of the track.

New Sound Element "Stones" by Emil Richards, released on UNI Records in 1967.

Ant Peel wrote for this blog:

"...Swiftly renaming his studio entourage the Emil Richards New Sound Element with the near-identical lineup of Dave Mackay (piano), Bill Plummer (bass), Mike Craden (percussion), Joe Porcaro (drums) and Paul Beaver (Moog synthesizer, clavinet), Richards (on all mallet instruments plus synthesizer) created the stunning album, “Stones.” A preeminent statement of wild experimentalism, “Stones” bears much in common with “Psychedelic Percussion” except it had more psychedelia, even more percussion and a far scaled down degree of drum kit use...."
