Synth Clean and Repair

08/23/23 • 57 min

Mike and Tara were having massive problems with their Sequential Circuits Six Trak synth. Greh came over to repair it and record an episode while doing it. Lo and behold, when Greh arrived, the synth decided to start working again. Still, Greh takes us through opening and cleaning the Six Trak and gives plenty of advice on how to maintain a synth. It’s another episode in the vein of “Studio Reorganization.”

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, there is a video of the cleaning and maintenance process. The video is available on the Noisextra patron page.

In Conversation with Dan Burke (Illusion of Safety)

Illusion of Safety is one of the longest running projects in the industrial noise underground, and Dan Burke was cool enough to sit down with us and go over his entire history. From seeing the final Throbbing Gristle show in San Francisco, to creating the IOS world with all its collaborators, Dan has stories and insight for days. It’s another mandatory history lesson on Noisextra.

For the ExtraNOISEXTRA segment on the patreon, Dan talks about taking music lessons and how it’s inspired his current approach to IOS and all his sound work. This segment is in the middle of the episode on the patreon feed.

Audio Drudge #6

Today we go through issue #6 of “Audio Drudge” from 1995. Each of us focused on one interview — Mike took Namanax, Tara took Smell & Quim, and Greh took Daniel Menche — and report that our findings. We then go over the issues as a whole, including the ads and the many great reviews. This is a style of episode we plan to continue...let us know any zines you’d like us to go through. Print media forever.

For the 30 minute ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we go over recent listening, some of which spring other discussions.
