about

Cuprum is an collection of improvised electronics, using the Dirty Electronics Mute Synth.

The Mute Synth, designed by John Richards and Dirty Electronics, is essentially a copper etched board with a couple of oscillators and a pulse generator. It uses touch controls and tilt controls to create and modulate the sounds. It's extremely tactile, but also wildly unpredictable, which is something I find pretty exciting. You can usually coax it into a certain frequency range, but in terms of rhythm and actual pitch there is very little direct control.

Initially it was just the title piece, but I figured it might be interesting to keep trying new things with the Mute Synth and adding to the collection.

Bastion: Original Soundtrack
by Darren Korb

A really great soundtrack to a really great independent game. Country & western trip-pop meets folksy blues twang. Or something... Absolutely my favourite video game soundtrack since Limbo. timidelfdesigns

Limbo (Original Videogame Soundtrack)
by Martin Stig Andersen

Speaking of Limbo, I love this soundtrack for reasons which should be quite apparent. It's an acousmatic/electoacousitc type deal, and fits perfectly into the game's monochrome aesthetic. timidelfdesigns

NO
by Old Man Gloom

GLOOM on all stations in all nations. 2012's Summer of GLOOM. The first Old Man Gloom record in 25,000 years, bearing the mass of 50,000 suns, and sweeter than the honey of 75,000 bees. timidelfdesigns
