Improvisation for Persian Tanbour and Buchla 200e

Tanbour and Buchla 200e combine yet again, this time with rhythm! And, in a departure from the usual microtonal offerings, in 12 tone equal temperament C major!
Here we have a couple of synthesis techniques on display. The drone is created using the patch shown here: • Drone school with the ...
The Keen 282e is extremely useful for writing music to accompany an instrument if you are solo. I have used it here for the long fade in and fade out of the drone. In the middle of that four-minute envelope, it triggers the rhythm to start playing.

Nice one! It's great to see/hear more ancient traditional instruments juxtaposed with modern electronics. I've just done a piece with modular and Turkish Bağlama Saz! All the best,

[@thesonnydownsquartet9340]

Wow, this is a nice coincidence. I think you may live just down the road. I am in Coffs Harbour. I LOVE Baglama. You don't know any nearby teachers, do you?

[@SeQFreQ369]

Not far at all! I used to teach bağlama and oud to one of the town's doctors years ago, otherwise there is (or was) a Bağlama School on the Gold Coast, I don't know the name, it was run by a top player, but as I mentioned on my Saz and Synth video, I've had a 20 yr break, so... I learnt a lot from watching videotapes of good players, but these days there are some good Turkish videos right here on the tube if you know Türkçe, or need a good laugh from the auto-translate. Cheers, Steve

Thanks fort sharing your music. And great idea using the Keen 282 to trigger a sequencer, haven't thought of that.

[@thesonnydownsquartet9340]

Thanks for listening. Yes, the 282 has become indispensable!

[@fablesofsilence]

@@thesonnydownsquartet9340I own 10% of its world production 😂 Always a fascinating thought.

[@thesonnydownsquartet9340]

Mine was part of a second run, so I think I may actually own only 2.5% of world production :)
