I'm live-streaming a new autonomous music patch from my Modular Synthesizer - it will be used for a soundtrack for a video on a proposed lunar base, hence has some of this quality. I'll leave the stream up for a day - enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=A7qmPA…

I augmented my drone study somewhat and am live-streaming it from my studio here for a while - youtube.com/watch?v=VwZ9YL… - I may change out the camera or tweak the audio quality, but will leave it for a day or two. Dream out on it!

The folks at SMEM in Fribourg posted the talk I gave there last month on my modular synth (from its genesis in the 1970s through the Swiss period of expansion in the 1980s to the current day). Lots of module descriptions & sounds included! Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=Hl-Jiw…

Talk: The Paradiso Synth - Hatched in Zürich and Honed at MIT


For any synthfolk in Switzerland, I'll be giving a talk on my custom modular at the Swiss Museum of Electronic Music in Fribourg on Thursday January 18 at 8 PM. smemmusic.ch/en/conference-…


I just posted a video detailing a new synth module I made out of a 'Speech Synthesizer' kit distributed to schools by Bell Labs in the 1960s. The first part describes the kit & details my adaptation of it - then I demo what it can do. youtube.com/watch?v=D8_Eh1…

OK, I plan to pull the synth stream down within an hour or so now - it's had a good run, and I'm going to push the gear into new places very soon - stay tuned and also follow ParadisoModular on YouTube for more. Panoramic photo of this patch at peak below.

I augmented & tweaked this patch more - it's a timbral (but mainly tonal) sequencer-driven monster with loads of shifting layers. It used most of my patch cords (see photo)! I'll leave the stream up for another day or more at synth.media.mit.edu

And this what the bulk of the patch looks like now - I still will hone it a bit more later... Again, listen live at synth.media.mit.edu

The synth is now streaming live again from my basement. A huge mainly melodic sequence-driven patch with lots of textures that unfold over time. I'll leave the livestream up for a while - enjoy it at synth.media.mit.edu - hit the play button to listen.


I've started a new YouTube Channel called 'ParadisoModular', where I've collected lots of my synth-related video and will be posting new work. Check it out & subscribe if you like synths, modulars, etc.! youtube.com/channel/UCIX3U…


FYI, a video of my latest big modular patch from (5/22) will air on Mark Jenkins' 'Modular Sessions' broadcast tomorrow night - probably around 2:15 PM ET (Boston time). Tune in below. Glad to be contributing to the Modular Sessions Series! youtube.com/watch?v=l-1_6b…


Note that @gershonatron and I will be hosting a talk/conversation with pioneering acoustic ecologist and composer David Dunn tomorrow at the @medialab - it is open to all so register & join if you are interested. It will appeal to synthfolks. media.mit.edu/events/channel…


I finally set up a Bandcamp site hosting 7 albums as free downloads that I curated from recordings made on my custom synth system over the past 4 decades. 6 are from autonomous patch installations and 1 is keyboard music from the 1980s. Enjoy! joeparadiso.bandcamp.com


Alas, the patch has drifted quite a bit over the last week - mainly the bane of its analog substrate and the lack of constant heat in the New England winter. Hence, I'll probably pull it soon, but something new will rise in its ashes before long.


The ETH outreach team just did an alumni podcast with me talking about my time in Zurich 1981-1983 and how I came to build my custom modular synthesizer there - give a listen if you're interested! ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…


The synth is finally back up and streaming a new patch from my basement studio. It will be featured at the ETH Pavilion at Davos next week. This one is a moody Timbre Monster in D Minor. Hope it stays in tune! Listen in real-time @ synth.media.mit.edu - Enjoy!

Just finished a video summarizing the massive synth patch I ran last summer at MIT's Plasma Fusion Center. Enjoy! youtu.be/PQoupaOcasA
