Dovinia "Outside" Moog Minitaur & backyard

Published on Apr 20, 2013 Dovinia·125 videos

"Mellow meditative improvisation commenting on the sounds of my backyard on a cold and windy norwegian spring morning. All sounds except the obvious outdoor ambience is from the Moog Minitaur. Also in the mix: "Better" Analog Echo Unit EC400 (MN3005), EHX Small Stone and EHX Polychorus."

Arturia Minibrute Gates the Monotribe

Published on Dec 30, 2012 Dovinia·124 videos

"In this sinister little piece the Monotribe makes a brief appearence (as a drum machine only) receiving gate signals from the MiniBrute. Apart from this the MiniBrute rules supreme over the rest of the tracks."

Arturia Minibrute Hand Synced Arps

Published on Dec 29, 2012 Dovinia·123 videos

"More MiniBrute experiments. This one consist of some intensely repeating arps hand synced to passable results - so be warned in case you don't like this style. It's also interesting to note that this synth comes pretty close to the good old paraphonic string sounds when using the Ultrasaw and an external EHX Polychorus for added movement."

Arturia Minibrute Meditation

"In this quickly improvised piece I'm running some slowly evolving, high pitched notes through the filter at high resonance while tweaking the Brute Factor for some interesting feedback effects."


Arturia Minibrute Dreamwaves
Published on Dec 29, 2012

"Free form instant composition - running the Arturia MiniBrute through an Electro Harmoinx Polychorus for some bucket brigade device weirdness. The MiniBrute triangle wave through the Metallizer produce some excellent wavefolding effects perfect for human voice like timbers. So far just scratching the surface of what this excellent synth can do. Hats off to Mr. Usson!"

"Here's another Berlin School approach using only the Arturia Minibrute."

Minibrute Monotonous Improvisation

Published on Dec 27, 2012 by Dovinia

"Quite by chance a Minibrute ended up on my desk the other day. I wasn't really going to order this synth but when one turned up for sale I couldn't resist the temptation to try it out - if only to see if it can do other sounds than the ones that have so far been presented in various reviews. I think I quite like it."

Dovinia "Sylvania" Modular Synthesizer Improvisations

YouTube Published on Aug 1, 2012 by Dovinia

"Sometimes I wanna do bad things to small lap top speakers. Todays piece is an exploration of random note sequencing courtesy of the Doepfer A-149-1 "Source of Uncertainty" clone module. Running this into the A-106-5 SEM filter creates some interesting rhythmic effects. I drove the tape into saturation on purpose. Noodles!"

"...while we're at it, here's another 70's style Berlin School escapade realized using only the Doepfer A-100 and some external effects. This is fresh from the tape with no further processing (apart from the usual digital mangling of the real analog sound which I have to endure to get this stuff up here)."

"Yeah I know. Guilty pleasures... Just had to do a little Berlin School evening jam on the Doepfer A-100. I hope you are not offended."

"Testing a small setup with the Dark Energy, Dark Time and Monotribe. Lead lines played using the frequency control on the DE and the Monotribe ribbon. Who needs a keyboard ?"

"Since the microKORG is turning 10 years these days I decided it would be nice to make a little tribute piece. So here's a completely digital recording for a change using only the microKORG for all voices... All patches are my own and I used a trusty old Boss BR-600 for recording."

"Testing a sequencer patch suggested by Allen Strange in his book, "Electronic Music: Systems, Techniques and Controls". Two sequencers are interacting through a sample and hold module. Sequencer A runs through a short melody while sequencer B runs backwards through the same note sequence at a slower speed. It's a complex patch even though it may not seem so... Doepfer A-100 with Dark Time and A-160/161 sequencing. Also in the mix: Roland Alpha Juno 1 and Korg Monotribe in sync with the Dark time."

Korg Monotribe sync test

YouTube Uploaded by Dovinia on Oct 7, 2011

"Just testing the sync capabilities of my newly aquired Korg Monotribe and thought I'd share the results.This is just a silly little tune made using Doepfer Dark Time sequencing Dark Energy and sending clock out to the Monotribe. Also in the mix: Roland Alpha Juno 1 (strings) and A-100 (background theremin-like leads). Recorded to 4 audio casette tracks using my Tascam 424 MKIII, mastered to Sony wm-d6c and transfered to digital through the line in on my lap top. Who says you need to buy an expensive usb audio interface ?"

"Sounds from my garden blends with the Doepfer A-100. I'm using a Dark Time sequencer for the harp-like arpeggio. For the technically interested: This is an all analog recording multitracked to audio cassette using a Tascam 424 MkIII. Mastered to a Sony wm-d6c and transfered to my Satellite lap top directly through the line in jack using the generic sound recorder application. The reverb and delay ambience in this recording comes from the A-199 Spring Reverb and A-188-1 BBD (4096 stages) modules."

"I have to admit it: I have a new favourite synth...
This is my first recording with this little beauty. All Alpha Juno on 4 analog tracks. Thanks for listening, and please stay tuned for the filters to open towards the end ;-)"

Simple Doepfer Dark Time + A-100 Sequence

YouTube Uploaded by Dovinia on May 20, 2011

"Very simple, but happy little sequence with a somewhat hypnotic feel (at least to me). Dark Time is controlling A-100 including the tempo of a second sequence from A-160/161."

Doepfer A-100 & Dark Energy improvisation

YouTube Uploaded by Dovinia on May 8, 2011

"Here's a brief demo of the A-100 and Dark Energy linked together. Dark Energy is used for percussion sounds. On the A-100 I have two separate sounds going. One for the lead and one for the sequence."

Doepfer A-100 Improvisation #2

"Another little analog 4 track recording with my current A-100 system. I'm using the A-160/161 for some basic sequences. Also in the mix: EHX analog delay, DOD FX45 analog reverb and EHX Small Stone. For those who care for such details."
