An Old Radio, Short Wave Sampling and the Beauty of the Ages

I found this old radio on a garage sale about two weeks ago and got it for about 8 dollars.




I thought of using the speaker and the case, but when testing it at home I found out, that it worked perfectly.

It is about 60 years old and sounds really good.
I´m thinking of doing some short wave sampling to feed my granular processor with new raw material.

I will have to make an antenna though. There is a terribly bad radio reception in my flat.
And while thinking of the best way to build such an antenna I came upon a second old radio of the same brand (just a few years younger). There are some problems with the volume knob. I opened the case therefore and I´m fascinated by these old electronic parts in it. 





They are simply beautiful!
(By the way: there is even the skeleton of a dead spider in the radio.)

I´ll keep you informed about the whole project, which you can also follow on

Enjoy your day!

May I Ask You In? It´s a matter of love and it´s my jewel box of sound and sound design. My little students helped me out with the voices. They are still too young to go to school, but they are already in love with sound and they have a fine intuition of which sound fits in a composition and which doesn´t.

ome fFirst Results of Working with my "Sonic Electron Microscope" or: Extracting Sounds for Sample Players Just a short preview of a little example, which I demonstrate and explain in my next tutorial about granular synthesis. It´s about granular extractions from field recording for sample players and it´s going to be tutorial 19 in the series about accSone´s CrusherX, but it contains a lot of basic methods and techniques, which are quite independent from a certain granular processor. The tutorial is about 3 hours long and will be available around the end of June 2018. Please visit http://www.rofilm-media.net from time to time to stay up to date.   Enjoy your day! Rolf

Granular Extractions for Sample Players (CrusherX Part 19)

Tutorial 19 about granular synthesis with CrusherX is available now. https://youtu.be/y2y8_kNrs5c It deals with the question: how to extract new exciting future sounds for our sample players from all kinds of sound sources (including field recordings) using granular processes. After a bit more than 98 hours of work this video has got the longest one I´ve ever made: 3 hours and 12 minutes (I´ve split the video in two parts to make downloading easier). And it´s packed with approaches, rules, facts, tricks and hints and a lot of practical examples including a complete case study. Here´s the Timeline: Part A 0:00:00 Introduction 0:02:25 First Approaches 0:04:22 Finding the Right Parameter Constellations 0:05:43 Manipulating Sine Waves 0:09:49 Dealing With Volume Oscillations and Aliasing 0:22:16 Which Type of Grain Window? 0:37:32 How Many Generators? 0:41:18 Some Tricks to Make Life Easier 0:44:51 Dealing With Saw ...
