Esoteric Machines Vol.1 - Plumbutter
The off kilter, unpredictable rhythms of the "drama and drum" synthesizer, the Ciat Lonbarde Plumbutter 2, as captured by us at Dream Date Studio. 50 plus loops of self clocked beats with more feel than a machine should have, recorded live in stereo to 1/4 tape. Tempos are provided with all loops but be aware that we intentionally didn't sync to any clock rates but the Plumbutter itself, and things can get a little ...unpredictable. This is a pack for the rhythmically adventurous and the socially curious.
Perfect Circuit provides this description of the Plumbutter on their site -
"The core of the Plumbutter 2 are five audio sections that are: the Deerhorn radio instrument which acts kind of like a theremin with patch points to connect to the system; Gongue, that creates unique rhythmic responses based on a pulse; Ultrasound, that takes any signal and attempts a Nyquist resampling; AVDog, which takes a pulse and creates brain-wave-inspired enveloped synth tone; and finally a snare drum. To drive the entire device, two Rolz 5 inspired pulse generators are available to patch using the two strict outputs and five androgynous outputs that can be combined in unique ways to generate patterns."
