Extract of a liive performance on the Acousmonium and Cyclotone, Halle Grise, Bluefactory Fribourg on october 30th 2021. Michael Egger plays the Synkie - analog modular image processor - and his new homemade analog video mixing desk, the Anymix21. Max Egger on the right works at the "stove", a video-feedback installation also based on Synkie. Sound produces the visuals and at the same time the visuals produce the sound, in an endless and complex feedback loop. All purely analog, no digital processing on sound nor image whatsoever.
The Acousmonium is an orchestra of around 50 loudspeakers currently installed at Halle Grise in Fribourg. Bernhard Zitz takes our mono signal and moves it around the speakers in real time.

Michael Egger, the driving force behind the SYNKIE project, gives a quick tour of their modular analog image processor and presents the ANYMIX21, his new 12 channel analog video mixing desk. Filmed during his residency at "HoMe. – Heim für obsolete Medien" Kunsthaus Langenthal kunsthauslangenthal.ch
Recorded live on 1" analog open reel video tape with an Ampex VPR-2B at Kunsthaus Langenthal (CH) 23 march 2021.
Your speakers are fine, my levels were right, that what the performance really sounded like ;-)
More a proof of concept than a fully thought out artistic work, this is my first completely analog recording with the SYNKIE modular analog video processor, Anymix21 live analog video desk and the new SK912-Wavesynth.
Sound of the microphone is not audible, rather it is routed to the SK52 Pulse-Delay which modulates the mask over the video feedback. This picture is then sampled vertically and converted to a wavetable for the Wavesynth. We get some sort of image-based vocoder effect that way.
Lyrics:
Eines Tages wird alles wieder gut.
Eines Tages wird alles wieder gut.
Eines Tages wird alles wieder gut.
Eines Tages wird alles wieder gut.
Eines Tages wird alles wieder gut.
Heads up: the shoutbox will be retiring soon. It’s tired of working, and can’t wait to relax. You can still send a message to the channel owner, though!
