Collide 4: The Sonic Power Of Nuclear Test Equipment In A Module HAINBACH 2024-10-12 | I teamed up with Belgian Eurorack module manufacturer Joranalogue to solve one of the biggest problem I had with my wall of test equipment: I could use it in the studio, but not play it live. It is just too heavy and fragile, being about 50 years. So that part of my music remained unperformed. With our new module Collide 4 I and everyone else can now take the wonderful textures and sonic possibilities of nuclear research equipment on the road. It is based on a lock-in amplifier, a tool made to sniff out tiny fluctuations of a frequency in vast amount of noise. But Joran took the concept further and added a frequency shifter. It is module with vast possibilities, and I can only give you a small overview and intro in this video. Check out Collide 4 at your trusted modular dealer in person now. joranalogue.com/collide-4

Exploring A Forgotten Treasure: AMPEX AG 20 Reel-To-Reel HAINBACH 2024-10-02 | There is very little information available on the extremely rare Ampex AG 20 reel to reel recorder. What is known is that it was the foray of the English division of Ampex into the territory of the hugely succesful Swiss Nagra recorders. The Nagra 3 had taken the film and TV world by storm and had very little competition in the market of professional location sound. Ampex set out to create a machine of similar quality, and produced a bunch protopypes But development costs were too high in the end, and the remaining examples were handed on to staff members.

New EP with @LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER HAINBACH 2024-10-02 | hainbach.bandcamp.com/album/ghostsHAINBACH: "For me this is our most „English“ record, in contrast to the „Berlin Sound“ of Pipe Dreams. The lyrics and vibe were influenced by the random encounters in the small pubs near This Museum Is Not Obsolete. From overheard bits to direct exchanges, a lot of the little seaside town of Ramsgate went into this. The opening track „Hey Johnny“ came from a pub owner complaining that all the drilling happening during the museum’s renovations almost knocked down her wall. „Little Ships“ references stories a former RAF member told us about her favorite warplanes, and seagulls from the beach are heard in „Gully Boys“.Musically, we started as before with two guys and a drum machine in a room setup, jamming out tracks like band. But then time we added more layers, fleshing out the bare instrumentals with call and response synth parts and harmonies."SAM BATTLE: "We recorded all of the base tracks down live onto the TEAC reel to reel which is in the cover picture and then built on top of them.A couple of the tracks also came from when we went to Blean Wood when testing Hainbach's new portable tape recorder to record the basis of Deadwood and Gully Boys (youtu.be/tB4ejTGMI9w). I thought it would be a good idea to take us to the middle of the woods to make some songs and the floor was literally alive with moving insects, it was the height of ant season! We got the tracks, but didn't leave unbit, ha!
Hainbach - Breve (Seil Records 061, 2024) HAINBACH 2024-09-27 | Breve is Hainbach’s eighth release on Seil Records. It is an album that manifests the Berlin based artist’s love for vintage electronic gear like few others - and creates a world of dense soundscapes like only Hainbach canbuilt them. At the core of Breve lies the Ondioline, a tube based key instrument from the 1930s that is considered to be the ancestor of todays synthesizers. Paired with a handful of other analog synths and recorded in single takes straight to tape, Breve is raw and beautiful; intense, yet calming.You can feel the heat generated by the equipment, the hands-on approach and the pure enjoyment of living in each sonic moment throughout the album. The 10 tracks that make up Hainbach’s new album range from intimate to vast, from fragile to walls of sound. Often rhythmic, always free. Cherishing each fleeting sound that is captured by the tape machine.The result is an album that celebrates pure analog sound. Best enjoyed on vinyl, cassette or on stage.Breveis released on September 17th, 2024 via Seil Records on Vinyl, Cassette Tape and Digital (Downloads are free/name-your-price for the first two weeks) via Bandcamp. Streaming platforms will follow on in October.Music, Soundpack and thanks: patreon.com/hainbachLISTEN TO My Music: hainbach.bandcamp.comMY SIGNATURE SOFTWARE: THE HAINPACK IS HERE: audiothing.net/bundle/hainpackGRANULAR SYNTH: apps.apple.com/de/app/fluss-granular-playground/id6443472888FASHION: http://teespring.com/de/stores/hainbachCONNECT: http://reddit.com/r/hainbachBUY THE GEAR I USE (EU):https://redir.love/thocf/n2lm9oo2ymBUY THE GEAR I USE (US):bit.ly/3nsnE9Q(affiliate links, I get a few % if you buy through them)BUY THE GEAR I USE (UK)gear4music.com/blog/what-gear-does-hainbach-use
This French Analog Synth Was Lightyears Ahead HAINBACH 2024-09-20 | Wiggling your fingers on a keyboard for vibrato is something many a musician does intuitively, alas with little effect. For decades this important way to make an instrument sing has seemingly been relegated to modulation and pitch wheels, with few exceptions in the recent years. This makes for a rather indirect play style, lacking the natural expression of bending a string. It is little known that already in the year 1939 in a sanatorium in France, the inventor Georges Jenny created an instrument that would allow vibrato on a keyboard directly. This is the story and sound of the Ondioline, an instrument I love so much I recorded an entire album with it. Thanks to Forgotten Futures and Daniel Kitzig for the loan of the instrument, which the 1956 model.

Ahead Of Its Time: Publison DHM89B2 (1978) HAINBACH 2024-09-08 | The French Publison DHM89B2 with its FB2000 keyboard controller is a stunning instrument for its time. Released first in 1978 (keyboard in 1980) it quickly made its way into the electronic music studios of the experimental avantgarde, such as INA GRM and SWR Experimentalstudio. For the time it offered incredible fidelity of pitch-shifting and sampling, surpassing the more famous Fairlight with ease. Pop stars like Prince used it extensively, and it became the go to vocal doubler / harmonizer for many years. This particular unit belonged to Manuel Göttsching (E2-E4) and resides now at the Akademie der Künste Berlin. Robert Henke (Monolake) and Dave Hilowitz joined me there to explore it.Music, Soundpack and thanks: patreon.com/hainbachLISTEN TO My Music: hainbach.bandcamp.comMY SIGNATURE SOFTWARE: THE HAINPACK IS HERE: audiothing.net/bundle/hainpackGRANULAR SYNTH: apps.apple.com/de/app/fluss-granular-playground/id6443472888FASHION: http://teespring.com/de/stores/hainbachCONNECT: http://reddit.com/r/hainbachBUY THE GEAR I USE (EU):https://redir.love/thocf/n2lm9oo2ymBUY THE GEAR I USE (US):bit.ly/3nsnE9Q(affiliate links, I get a few % if you buy through them)BUY THE GEAR I USE (UK)gear4music.com/blog/what-gear-does-hainbach-use
AMS 3 - East Germanys Massive Modular Synthesizer HAINBACH 2024-09-01 | Synthesizers had it hard in Socialist East-Germany - Socialist Realism was for a long time the prevailing art form. An instrument that creates unreal sounds was not endorsed by the SED leadership. Only in the waning years of the GDR (or DDR as it is called in German) that changed, with the Vermona Synthesizer coming out in 1982. The first officially sanctioned modular synthesizer, the Audiotronic AMS3 featured in this video was built between 1986 and 1988 for the Electro-Acoustic Studio of the Akademie der Künste.

1 2 3 4 new live setup test #modular HAINBACH 2024-08-30 | 1,2,3,4 - warming up to my new live setup. Next album on @seilrecords is round the corner and I will play parts of it on my upcoming shows. Therefore I have changed the instruments I use: my Nagra and Ciat Lonbarde is accompanied by a eurorack modular case by @busycircuits with mostly @joranalogue modules. Thanks to a bunch of banana to jack cables by @patchpoint everything is happily exchanging sound and CV. Now I have to put in the time to make it all into a cohesive show, even if a lot of it is improvised. I find only run throughs help to get a feel for a set and develop the skill to juggle all the different pieces. Still, up until the moment I am on stage it all feels impossible.

Hainbach x Nebula Instruments - Circle of Violence HAINBACH 2024-08-15 | EP AVAILABLE HERE (name your price): hainbach.bandcamp.com/album/circle-of-violenceWhen I sat down at the organ at Paulus church in Magdeburg, I listened to the resonance of the high and low notes. Then I taped down a few keys I wanted to drone on endlessly, creating a bed for Markus on the Euphone to respond and play in. The resonance of glass, steel and pipes on the cold stone walls of the old church created an intense atmosphere. What we played felt like it mattered, even if its just two guys in an empty church. The sound of the Euphone is both alien yet curiously human. Ice cold yet expressive, it combines with the organ, the old Ibach grand piano and tape loops with a strange fluidity. While I only approached this record when making it from an exploratory standpoint, with no set idea in mind, in listening back to the tapes I discovered a strange urgency. The setting and the sounds made me think about the things that matter, from the beautiful to the ugly. There is hope here, but it is a struggle.

The Haunting Sound of Glass and Steel HAINBACH 2024-08-11 | Nebula Instruments invited me to play with their Euphone - a Baschet Crystal inspired instrument. Euphones are self-sounding instruments, which use friction to produce sound. I only ever experienced their sound as samples, which are useful for scoring otherworldly scenes in media.

A Very Unusual Analog Synthesizer HAINBACH 2024-08-04 | The Chromaplane by Duo Passepartout and Koma Elektronik is an oddity: it is an experimental analog synth that does not have a keyboard or MIDI, but instead it is played with telephone coil pickups.

Play a synth with this? Koma Chromaplane HAINBACH 2024-07-23 | The @koma_elektronik and @passepartoutduo Chromaplane Synthesizer is not played with a keyboard but with two electro magnetic pickups. Like a doctor with a stethoscope you are hunting for the ten oscillators on the board. You can even mix in an external signal and play it with the pickup. In this example an arpeggio from the OP-1 is added in to the electric sounds of the instrument. No external effects used, just the filter and the delay on it.When I first played this in 2022 I loved it and promised I would support its release. Happy to say it is out on Kickstarter now, at a very fair price. Congrats to Koma and the duo for making this! #synthesizer #kickstarter
We Used the Moon as an Echo (And Made It Into a Free Plugin) HAINBACH 2024-07-16 | I discovered the technique of "Moon Bouncing", using the moon as an echo, when I was researching composer Pauline Oliveros. Her experiences with "Echoes from the moon" sounded fascinating. Like with all experimental music techniques of old I wanted to try the process for myself. This started a two year long journey. With the support of Martine-Nicole Rojina (who also helped out on camera on location) I got in contact with the radio telescope in Dwingeloo, a huge dish designed for space exploration. They helped me send signals to the moon: a sopranist (Johanna Vargas), a double bassist (Paul Cannon) as well as sounds from my patrons Sventothem, Michael Féaux, Andrew Stone, harper2k, Filip Ferngren, Dave Seidel, Gary Walker, Michael Peters, the void inclusive, Brendan Ford, David Williams, Joey Pop, Jeremiah Turner, Richy486, Joshua Philgarlic, Tim Moore, Grant Basma Horsnell, Arson Bright, Dan Kibke, Antonio T, Chris Sherman, Sergey, Charlie, Bartek Trame and Dixit. This fascinating experience yielded an extensive set of samples that @audiothing and me analyzed and used to create the free plugin "Moon Echo".

The Forgotten Synth That Launched a Ground-Breaking Technology HAINBACH 2024-07-10 | Franklin Eventoff, an American tinkerer and musician invented the force sensing resistor in 1977. This allowed for touch control of voltage, which he used to create instruments. It found first commercial musical use in the Mattel Musical Thing, a cheap toy synth. Frustrated with the experience, Eventoff went on to create the much more refined Sonica. The Sonica is a lovingly crafted boutique instrument with an oscillator by famed Serge Tcherepnin, the creator of the Serge synthesizer. Only about 650 where made, and they are collector's items. The technology of the force sensing resistor proved hugely successful and lives on in cars, robotics and instruments like the AKAI MPC and the Otamatone.Watch my buddy Dave's video: youtu.be/jRKqVYAfbGw?si=9KHgnlvO68-ea8eJMusic, Soundpack and thanks: patreon.com/hainbachLISTEN TO My Music: hainbach.bandcamp.comMY SIGNATURE SOFTWARE: THE HAINPACK IS HERE: audiothing.net/bundle/hainpackGRANULAR SYNTH: apps.apple.com/de/app/fluss-granular-playground/id6443472888FASHION: http://teespring.com/de/stores/hainbachCONNECT: http://reddit.com/r/hainbachBUY THE GEAR I USE (EU):https://redir.love/thocf/n2lm9oo2ymBUY THE GEAR I USE (US):bit.ly/3nsnE9Q(affiliate links, I get a few % if you buy through them)BUY THE GEAR I USE (UK)gear4music.com/blog/what-gear-does-hainbach-use
Reverb Goes to Eleven on this Vintage Amp HAINBACH 2024-07-03 | The Ondes Martenot was one of the very first electronic instruments that was embraced by composers of orchestral music. Looking to expand its sonic range, Maurice Martenot developed a series of amps around the instrument, from a normal speaker, to tuned strings, a resonating gong to this strange box here. Manufactured by Rehdéko, a long defunct French high-end company, it uses seven brass strings attached to the speaker cone. This creates a rather lush and surprisingly dense reverb, with no feel of the "boingyness" of usual spring reverbs. As I am a fan of unusual speakers, see "Gong Amp" I made with AudioThing (audiothing.net/effects/gong-amp), I could not resist its allure.

The Optical Sampler Kraftwerk Loved Modernized HAINBACH 2024-06-24 | When optical sound sample players came around in the form of the Mattel Optigan, Vako Orchestron and Chilton Talentmaker in the 70s, the reaction was luke-warm. The devices were not a commercial success and quickly disappeared. But one enterprising band from Germany took their lofi sound to heart. Kraftwerk employed the Orchestron in many songs, from Das Model to Uranium. Even today its finds fans - such as Kyle Dixon of Survive, who used the iconic "choir" in their Stranger Things soundtrack. He employed the modern adaption of this arcane technology, the Quilter Labs Panoptigon. I talk with Kyle in the video, show a bit what you can do with the Panoptigon, demo classic Kraftwerk patches and introduce my own disc for this fantastic instrument.

When Forbidden Planet And Chaos Theory Meet - The Blippoo Box HAINBACH 2024-06-04 | "Forbidden Planet in a box" - the Blippoo Box by the late Rob Hordijk is a wonderfully out there electronic instrument. Based on chaos theory and a love for vintage Sci-Fi it creates organic and liquid tones that keep inspiring even after a long time. Originally made in small batches and sold for about 650EUR, it became very desired among hardcore synthesizer freaks and experimental musicians. This drove prices up to the thousands even during Rob's lifetime, and even higher after. I never thought I would own one, but a lucky trade happened. In this video I tell the tale of the Third Monk (as written by Uncle Meatball), demo the Blippoo's sound and features, as well as showing modern alternatives.Sources listed below.

The Sweet Spot: Voltage Lab 2 Semi-Modular Synthesizer HAINBACH 2024-05-14 | As anyone who has ever tried to assemble a modular synthesizer, it is not easy to create a cohesive instrument, especially if you try to narrow it down to a portable case. In comes The Voltage Lab 2 that Pittsburgh Modular send me to play with (thanks for that!) - it is a semi-modular self contained synthesizer, and to me it hits the sweet spot between functionality and musicality.

Massive Bass From A Huge Filterbank (feat. @LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER ) HAINBACH 2024-05-06 | German HiFi Manufacturer Teufel was getting rid of the analog system they used to design crossovers for their loudspeakers. I could not pass up the opportunity to get this piano-sized analog filterbank in my studio. Together with @LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I explored the musical use of this gigantic piece of obsolete technology.

Field Recording With A Vintage Film Sound Reel-to-Reel HAINBACH 2024-04-29 | I always wanted to use my Swiss-made Nagra 4-S reel-to-reel recorder in its intended role: as an outdoor field / film sound recorder. So when my friend Wouter asked me if I want to try out his new mics with him I took this venerable and very heavy tape machine with me. When I hit vari-speed everything came together.

The Joy Of Feedback: Fjærlett HAINBACH 2024-04-22 | The Tilde Elektriske Fjærlett is a new take on turning feedback into an instrument. This instrument / effect is made in very small numbers in Norway, mine is number 74 and it took 3 and half years on the waiting list to get it. Here I am playing with it and showing what I came up with this rather pretty little feedback monster.

Vintage 1970s news reporter kit HAINBACH 2024-04-21 | When @Sennheiser asked me to collab for #421 day I jumped at the chance to cosplay as a 1970s news reporter. I took my trusty vintage MD421-2 and combined it with a period-correct Uher Report Monitor 4000. I have seen reporters on TV, children’s books (Ali Mitgutsch Wimmelbücher for my German audience) and IRL rocking this combination, down to the leather bag. Recording outside I was surprised how sensitive the combination was - I had used the 421 in the studio, on drums especially for my „Nuclear Drum Loops“ sound pack. Outside it picked up tiny details from the environment -.especially birdsong sounded beautiful. As someone obsessed with field recording on tape, that was a wonderful surprise. I can replace my heavy Nagra setup with the Uher/MD421 in many cases. The MD421 is a truly classic mic, here is to many more 421 days! Now @sennheiser, how about a MD21 day? I got ideas :-) #ad #anzeige# microphone# fieldrecording #retrotech #reeltoreel
The Renaissance of a Rare Rave Classic HAINBACH 2024-04-08 | The Orgon Systems Enigiser was not much of hit when it came out, with only 50 to 150 units being known to exist. But over time it became a cult-classic, thanks to its excellent filter that fits perfectly into underground dance music. After decades of it being a collector's item, we are now spoiled for choice as two companies offer clones and the original creator is re-releasing the Enigiser again. I am working with the Analog Sweden Swenigiser (available via unzunz.com) in this video, a much enhanced version of this rave classic.

When Doing Things Wrong Sounds Good HAINBACH 2024-04-03 | It was late at night and I had spend three days reworking my mixing setup downstairs, when I accidentally went way into the deep red on my audio interface, pushing + 20dB and more. And it sounded amazing! I immediately shot this video, thinking I had discovered a hidden feature of the RME Babyface Pro. But just as I was wrapping up I discovered that there was something else at play...

The Drum Machine That Shaped Krautrock HAINBACH 2024-03-26 | The Elka Drummer One is no Klaus Dinger or Jaki Liebzeit, but it deserves its place in the history of Krautrock drumming. It was used by a bunch of German bands at the time, most prominently the wonderful Harmonia, a supergroup consisting of members of Neu! and Cluster (some of which where involved in a short-lived iteration of Karftwerk, too). In this video I show its functions (including a big surprise at the very end) and how @LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER and me used it on our EP "Pipe Dreams", out now on hainbach.bandcamp.com/album/pipe-dreamsListen to "Holta Polta" on Harmonia Live 74: youtu.be/p5GhY_yOb7g?si=yxwEoxrt5vgHhKhDMusic, Soundpack and thanks: patreon.com/hainbachMY SIGNATURE SOFTWARE: THE HAINPACK IS HERE: audiothing.net/bundle/hainpackGRANULAR SYNTH: apps.apple.com/de/app/fluss-granular-playground/id6443472888FASHION: http://teespring.com/de/stores/hainbachCONNECT: http://reddit.com/r/hainbachBUY THE GEAR I USE (EU):https://redir.love/thocf/n2lm9oo2ymBUY THE GEAR I USE (US):bit.ly/3nsnE9Q(affiliate links, I get a few % if you buy through them)BUY THE GEAR I USE (UK)gear4music.com/blog/what-gear-does-hainbach-use
