This is cracking.

Wonderful prepared piano album.
-
Loving this short synthesizer performance from Meng Qi. Beautiful.

Rich Vreeland and Akash Thakkar on the sound design and composition for Hyper Light Drifter. Really good, straightforward talk about building a world through sound.

Tips for motion JPEG encoding. Given motion JPEG is the only really acceptable format for doing video inside Ableton Live – this is useful.
-
Lovely short films about simple creative acts in the musicmaking process; more of Ableton's excellent commitment to useful, sharp content.

This is fantastic, and a sound I've obsessed about the history of before: Fairlight Orchestral Stab 5, aka ORCH5. A paper that traces its history.

A really nice exploration of what live piano + electronics could be like. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the actual filming: there's a lot of modular on display, which is very analogue and visible, with all its sequencers… but there's also at least one midi controller visible and if it's talking to a computer… is it disingenuous to hide a laptop? Hmn.

Well this looks very good.
Marcus Fischer plays for Datachoir
24 January 2017
Beautiful live performance from Marcus Fischer, captured by Datachoir (whose other videos I must clearly check out). I particularly enjoyed the way the pinecone bed anchors the piece, and the drone ebows on the miniature zither. Gorgeous; a style and manner I aspire to, but that’s clearly emerged from a lot of careful practice and listening.

Nice look at Del Casher and the history of wah; music seen through a technological lens.
