Nice and thoughtful late review of my Delerious Cartographies record on Arbitrary from a while back. It is actually worth reading

12/02/2024 Ed Pinsent Mind Mapping Basics Richard Scott is tracing some Delirious Cartographies (ARBITRARY 13)…this composer / improviser fellow is very au fait with analogue synths, and that’s what we hear on this EP release, although the electronic sound is also spliced up with interludes and ...

Over the years quite a few artists, performers and composers who are getting involved with synthesisers, electronics and controllers, especially Modular Synthesisers, have asked me for lessons, advice and guidance on how to engage with these technologies artistically. Mostly these have been face-to-face in my studio, occasionally online. While I don’t offer lessons as such, or tuition on specific technologies, I have found that after so many years of personal engagement, I am able to help individuals map out their needs, discuss what they want to achieve, and help them navigate the field. It is important to me that you would come to such a session armed with your own questions and with the themes you would like to discuss. These would guide the discussion.
If you are interested, feel free to get in touch via Personal Message below. The price is 80 euros per hour, with a minimum session of two hours.

Hi folks. I thought this might be of interest. Irregular Transmissions # 20 - this is what happens when drum-machines go amiss

It is long, but after exploring some options a definite piece/performance begins around 14:33 which runs until the end.

I got this Soma Pulsar23 a whole year ago, during which time I confess I have spent shamefully little time on it. Let me say upfront that I think it is unque...

Premiering tonight. Fifth in this regular/irregular series: for the first time me talking at a camera (which is not entirely well-synced) about the whys rather than the hows

Hi all. I wasn’t going to do this but some nice people bought some records and reminded me. If you like my modular work and or have been following my adventures on Soundcloud at https://soundcloud.com/bastardscience you might be interested in the first two volumes of pieces complied as Bastard Science Volume 1 and 2. I think each piece there is pretty unique, with lovely cover art from Annette Stüsser-Simpson. Today would be nice day to buy them because of Bandcamp blah... https://soundanatomy.bandcamp.com/alb…/bastard-science-vol-1

or get the whole friggin' digital catalogue of 22 albums for a piddling £75
