My custom modular synthesizer system. It is a system that my brother Efe Çakır and I handmade about 60-70% of, combined with very special components, and you can apply almost all synthesis techniques. I hope you like it. I think it looks great. You do not think so?
“Portray” is now available on all digital platforms under the label of Wic Recordings. With this single nostalgia, we can say that it offers a perfect combination of modernism and a warm-analog atmosphere.
In the creation process of the song, vintage-style analog instruments and equipment such as recorded drums, drum machine, magnetic tapes, tape echo, spring reverb, tube sound equipment, analog compressors were used. In addition, voltage-controlled synthesizers and modules designed by Efe Çakır and Vaemi, as well as synthesizers of well-known brands such as Roland and Arp, were used and blended with today's modern perspective.
This single was prepared with an analog-digital hybrid approach in recording, mixing and mastering processes, and now it meets the audience.
Soundspaces No:1 album consists of some recordings I recorded between 2005 and 2012. It was an album of sessions where I experimented with synthesizers, modules, electronic circuits, sounds and electricity. I used instruments-equipment mainly analog and mostly hardware. The things I do by playing the sequencer and keyboards or by programming them with the sequencer. The music consists of 3-4 channels at most, and it consists of recordings that I have recorded on a computer as stereo tracks or as a maximum of 3 channels. I made the mix completely analog with outboards. After recording it on the computer, I completed the album with an analog-digital hybrid mastering process between the tracks.The songs on this album are not exactly music in song form. They're more like recordings of a scene, a soundscape, an ambiance, a moment. It's more like a sound design. Yes :) I think it still consists of quite musical sounds. Maybe there will be a 2nd or 3rd album of this concept over the years. I am happy to share Soundscape No:1 with you now. I hope you enjoy listening to the album.
Patch 43 (A jamsession with DPO, a complex Buchla style oscillator)
Patch 44 (A Generative patch made completely with a sequencer and random CV's and logic's)
Patch 23 (Ambient, random CVs, and many envelopes and lfos are made by sequentially connecting each other. I used an arpeggiator to randomly select the notes. Although the main structure of the tissue comes from analog oscillators, a digital resonator and granular synthesis is the most characteristic sound of this patch)
Patch 29 ((Made with NI Reaktor and an analog system. Random sequencers and logics are used. Processed with noise, granular and glitches. A generative IDM style patch)
Patch 19 (Patch made with a resonator, granular, and different LPG)
Patch 24 (Analog drums made with random sequencers, analog synths, drum layers blended with resonator, a subtractive lead and finally a texture with granular)
Patch 54 (A random generative patch made using through-zero FM synthesis with multiple Vaemi Osi-Ops and Vintage Function Generator and granular synthesis)
Patch 51 (A 6 channel drum machine based on 8 bit sampling that we made ourselves. There are drums processed with granular synthesis and resonator. To play the drums, I used logics of our own designs, modules such as clock divider, shift register, gate combiner)
Patch 53 (A random-generative patch. Made using samplings from Phase Plant and the Vaemi Osi-Op + Elektron Machine Drum FM synthesis section. For formants, I have created many groups of analog and digital formant filters. Granular, on the other hand, is in charge as usual to support the fluency and variability of the sounds)
Patch 32 (A Granular Sampler player to create a Drone Synthesis by sampling a 1-second symphony orchestra, scanning the sample and processing it with granular)
Patch 20 (Electron Machine Drum + Vermona DRM1 + Resonator + Subtractive A patch programmed with 2 separate voices. Granular synthesis is again in the task of creating textures)
Patch 47 (A generative patch made with Vaemi El-Ma Orsted, recording electromagnetic waves, sampling, and processing with granular and filters)
Too many layers in one synthbass. There are 2 basic synthbass at 0.40 seconds. sub oscs are common, but oscillators at mid and treble frequencies are different. In short, I say mid bass and side bass here. In mid bass and side bass, one of the oscillators is an osc with analog thruzero fm feature. the other is a fully digital thru zero fm oscillator. I made this mainframe by programming it in analog logic. but there are still some extra moves. I cut them out of some of my synthbass jams and inserted them into the song.
My new single "Far" is out now on all digital platforms!
DnB style + Analog and Digital sound + with a visual made with Max MSP.
Analog and digital hybrit mixing and mastering.
Please listen with a proper sound system or quality headphones.
There is no "sound replace" on the drums. The fully acoustic sound of the drum is toned. Only "shaker sampling" is used with drum machine.
Elektron Machine Drum only triggers to modular synth. (gate and cv)
