Carsten Rochow – Buchla Music Easel

[deutsch]

Carsten Rochow ist freier Musikjournalist für verschiedene Radiosender u.a. für die Sendung Tonart bei Deutschlandfunk Kultur. Einige Monate vor diesem Workshop kaufte er sich den Buchla Music Easel. Im Workshop bei SchneidersLaden berichtet er von seinen Erfahrungen mit diesem außergewöhnlichen Instrument.

[english]

Carsten Rochow is a freelance music journalist for various radio stations, including the programme Tonart bei Deutschlandfunk Kultur. A few months before this workshop he bought a Buchla Music Easel. In the workshop at SchneidersLaden he talks about his experiences with this extraordinary instrument.

Buchla Workshop: Getting started with the Music Easel

The last date of this workshop series is all about Buchla. One of the most iconic names in modular history is still a mystery to most – so we’ll have a look at the Music Easel, their modular line and we’ll listen to some of the sounds that build the legacy of this brand. So this evening is an invitation to all that are not familiar with Buchla and want to get their head around these special synthesizers. To get an impression of how it feels to dive into the rabbit hole named Buchla Music Easel, we invited Carsten Rochow to talk about his first months with this instrument. Additionally Jessy is going to share her view on the Music Easel.

Please note: This time the workshop will be in German language!


Starting with Buchla on 26. September 2019 19:30

Participation is free-of-charge as always!

A week later on the 22nd of August, we are happy to have Matthew Allum from ALM Busy Circuits here for a workshop and performance! We’ll have a close look at some of his developments – of cause the new SALMPLE 8-channel sampler module and the sooo handy Pamela’s New Workout.

05. September – Flame

The first workshop in September is about an often overlooked brand from Berlin – Flame. With their new line of modules and their astounding stand-alone synthesizer Mäander, Flame is doing it again: Bringing highly specialized and tools with interesting performance features. And of cause we’ll have a listen to the Flame Mäander, which is a unique synthesizer concept that no one saw coming – it sounds fantastic!

12. September – Shakmat Modular

September 12th is reserved for Shakmat Modular! Constantly putting out new modules that bring more flexibility to all your clock-needs or solve the little annoying problems, for example the little helper HiPass. Francois is also preparing a little performance for us and will talk us through his patch – we are looking forward to this!

19. September – Verbos Electronics

The next workshop date got the title: Verbos Takeover! Be prepared for a full evening of Verbos Electronics goodness – this includes the Modular Beginner Workshop at 6pm! Followed by the main workshop where we’ll have a look at the current line of Verbos modules and …let’s all hope for a couple of minutes of Marks legendary live sets – fingers crossed.

26. September – Starting with Buchla

The last date of this workshop series is all about Buchla. One of the most iconic names in modular history is still a mystery to most – so we’ll have a look at the Music Easel, their modular line and we’ll listen to some of the sounds that build the legacy of this brand. So this evening is an invitation to all that are not familiar with Buchla and want to get their head around these special synthesizers. To get an impression of how it feels to dive into the rabbit hole named Buchla Music Easel, we invited one of our customers to talk about his first months with this instrument.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

And don’t forget that there always is a Modular Beginner Workshop before the events described above. The Beginner Workshop starts at 6pm and all participants are invited to also join the main workshop too! All other events begin at 7:30pm and they are suitable for beginners too.

END OF WAITING 2 !

kenele_siteYesterday I had a call from our scottish friend Ken Macbeth to let me know, that this year all has been starting pretty good .. and .. that the first few finished ELEMENTS will be coming in right before the NAMM, now. So keep calm with spending money for other stuff, this synth could become the golden solution finally .. a better easel for your sounds?

Probably it will still need another two months until the most of your oders could have been fulfilled, but there is a good reason for hope to get it.

end of Waiting!

DDR-Fotoausstellung so war´s...The end of Trust has been reached NOW: After two years of up and down, promises, payments forwards and backwards, units that has been returned for different reasons, many energy and money to learn complex possibilities to support, to fix and repair, ALEX4 now quit from europe exclusive distribution for Buchla alias Bemi.
Once you have a problem with a unit that was bought from the US, please return it to the US as usual, once you have a problem with a unit that you bought from us, we will go ahead and do our best to help you. And once you are still waiting for a Music Easel from Schneidersladen, you will be contacted and informed about the status shortly.

Aphex Twin hats auch ..

aphex-modular-trax.. wir wollen es gerne verkaufen:
Das funktionierende Buchla 200e System aus der Demo in Schneidersladen steht zur Disposition, Module kommen eh nicht nach und der Easel stockt auch. Also: Ran an die Buletten, ausprobieren kostet noch nichts, danach wirds teuer,  Zum Preis erwarten wir akzeptable Vorschläge, Umsonst wirds leider nix!
Umsonst gabs offensichtlich mal die Tracks von Aphex Twin, die er wohl auch auf diesem Modulsystem gemacht hat, das war natürlich nicht umsonst! Aber wer weiss.
Fast umsonst gibts grad das ein oder andere Schnäppchen auf dieser Liste in Schneidersladen, weil wir zum Jahresende das sonst alles zählen müssen,  .. Zahlen statt Zählen? .. Danke für die Entlastung und Euch allen ein frohes und besinnliches Weihnachtsfest.

Music Easel waitings..

975_1320.. unfortunately there are still nearly 50 of our clients waiting to get their hands on one of the Bemi* Music Easel .. We never thought that it could take so long to get them in and we are very sorry about this. Still we dont know if there will be more than the first seven “serial units” that we had coming in so far.

In addition to this we are even more sorry, that we mixed up the order date with the update of our factura system what lead us to serve very few clients in the wrong order. As soon as we have more units coming in, we will first of all serve these clients we have overlooked.

* = BEMI is the company that took over the business from Don Buchla
(the guy you see on pic) alias Buchla and Associates  a while ago.

NEW centralmusic

Centralmusic_stageWe had a wonderful night with the re-opening of Centralmusic on Oranienstrasse 188 in Berlin Kreuzberg. Mark Verbos and Christian Zollner made a great set (see them on the pic) followed by a short but great introduction of the Meeblip synthesizer by Peter Kirn; finally Jeffrey Vallier introduced the WLAN card for the Buchla Music Easel. Wolfgang Seidel unfortunately arrived too late after his first live performance with one of the very first Easels that arrived last week and Antony H made this picture, thank you all.

Musikmesse Aftershow 2/2

Centralmusic_KarrussellTonite in Kreuzbergs Oranienstrasse (#188!) we will have a workshop with Mark Verbos from New York introducing his eurorack products at around 8pm, this will be held in english. Then there will be a session with either Peter Kirn presenting his Meeblip synth and/or the Koma boys performing their pedals and Kommanders. Still before 10pm we will have a second rare introduction where Christian Halten will introduce his W-Lan interface for the Buchla Music Easel together with the chief technician from Buchla responsible for their production site. As on Musikmesse Mister MFB junior (the Tanzbär !) will take care for some drinks and good fun as we will do ourselves.

not Just an EASEL in 5.1, C54!

An EASEL is an EASEL (not an easle) and it seems like some few of them could be shipping to europe soon. Also Buchla will be exhibiting on Musikmesse in Frankfurt again together with Doepfer, MFB, Haken, Manikin, Kenton, Vermona, Intellijel, Studio Electronics, KOMA, Rebel Tech, Macbeth studiosystems and finally Verbos electronics (tbc) with ALEX4 in Hall 5.1 booth C54.  Follow the links or join the show to learn more about their news and classics; youre very welcome.
