Modified omnichord om-250

Here's a video of the om-250 made better by Ben Houston. This work is highly digital by comparison to all of the older models of omnichords, which has it's ups and downs like anything else. One of the ups proper is the midi.
Toward the end of the video you get a taste of the new sequencer by Arius Blaze. There will be more on that soon.

Time Machine ver.3

by Arius Blaze designed for extreme sample fuqwithing and analog style delay.

Thousands of possibilities for effecting sound - everything from granulation, modulation, stutter effects and things that have yet to be named. It stands alone though it has the following expansion options which can be done at any time:

= The all touch-based playable keyboard - polyphonic and feeding through the circuitry of the time machine to turn this piece into a samplable synthesizer.

= The 8 part sequencer (like that on the time scape sequencer) allows the effects to be played in time - each part is patchable to the main patchbay generating some of the instant craziest hardware shit you've ever heard. There is no other piece of hardware that does anything like this when the sequencer is added. an amazing thing.

As shown built into the Time Scape Sequencer:


___________________

= twenty part custom keyboard with all handmade keys and two patchable mains - allows thousands of effects to be played as and when you like.

Each and all of the upgrade options breathe entirely new life into this piece, making it more playable and allowing for thousands more possibilities.

Sin:ned axplains:

Performance Description:
Two people. One wooden box. Forty-eight metal contact points. This is the basic idea of INTRE-FACE.


The wooden box is called Harmonic Field. It is designed and handmade by American sound art device artists, Arius Blaze and Ben Houston of Folktek. No keyboard. No strings. Only forty-eight metal contact points. The performer is required to use his/her body as part of the circuitry to generate sounds.


In each of the INTER-FACE performance, Hong Kong sound artist Sin:Ned will invite different artist to play the Harmonic Field with him. Face to face. With such unique instrumental interface.


Here in Beijing, we have the debut performance of INTRE-FACE.


In this debut performance, Yan Jun is invited to play the Harmonic Field with Sin:Ned. With electro-acoustic duo No One Pulse as opening act, Alok and KWC will pair with guest artists Jackson Garland and Vavabond for a duet improvisation.
