This Thursday I will strike up my analogues again after the summer break, where I focussed on studio work on a series of solo records

Great record from the criminally underrated Bark! A group I was actually a member of in a different lifetime. But that is not why I post it here

Here is a nice conversation between two Blippoo Boxes which are playing themselves and each other. A.I. in the analogue domain?

Snap up the name-your-price full album if you enjoy it

A new and very specific digital release from me in tribute to Rob Hordijk on Nachtstück Records. If you like it, please do support the label and buy it.

"These eight studies (for they are not exactly compositions) are derived from the work of my friend Rob Hordijk, the electronics luthier who created the Blippoo Box, a small desktop analogue synthesiser which he described as “circuit-bent by design.” The Blippoo is a strikingly original self-modulating, generative, algorithmic device comprised of an array of two oscillators, a resonant filter, a sample and hold generator and a pair of bit shift registers. Rob named this arrangement of cross-communicating shift registers, the Rungler. The interconnection and recycling of the shift registers own data creates rudimentary pattern-like figures which can be used as modulation sources. These boxes are also, in a limited way, playable and patchable modular synthesisers but in these pieces, the instruments are not really “played” as such, but instead are largely self-playing. I have tried to keep myself out of the way as far as possible; as the great Serge Tcherepnin once put it; to allow the machines to speak for themselves. I believe that what the Blippoos have to offer, as well as being a very special kind of audible liquid mathematics, is also in and of itself a musically interesting listening experience. ...."

Together as Awesome Entities Kazu and Richard have been playing in a completely open musical context for ten years, releasing our CD on Doubt Music in 2016 and touring there in 2019
After an epidemically quiet phase where they ate more Mochi than they played music together, they continue their long standing duet. This foray surprises with the intriguing inclusion of piano legend Aki Takase. Expect new music. Wednesday concert:

Aki Takase – piano
Kazuhisa Uchihashi – guitar & daxophone
Richard Scott – modular electronics
