Turn your favorite track into customizable art with Waveform Posted: 22 Jul 2019 08:37 AM PDT Bespoke prints of your favorite tracks. UK designer Alex Szabo-Haslam will turn your favorite track into a bespoke, customisable print with Waveform, his latest music-based illustration Kickstarter project. Each artwork takes the form of a visualization of the waveform from a song of your choice. The resulting illustration represents the track as a series of bars which are individually plotted and then printed in a colour of your choice.     You can choose from either an outline version or a block color version of your print, colored from over 1,800 different color variations. Each print is presented on museum-quality paper. This is not the first time Alex Szabo-Haslam has made soundwave art – last year he launched Sequence, a graphical system that turns any album ever recorded into a unique print. You can back Waveform’s Kickstarter campaign here. A2 and A1 size prints are available, with shipping available anywhere in the world.

Gibson returns Oberheim brand to synth pioneer Tom Oberheim as a goodwill gesture Posted: 22 Jul 2019 04:36 AM PDT “Let's do the right thing,” says Gibson’s CEO. Guitar giant Gibson has returned the Oberheim brand and trademark back to its creator as a gesture of goodwill, Synthtopia reports. Tom Oberheim developed legendary instruments such as the SEM, OB-Xa and DMX drum machine in the ’70s and ’80s, but the brand was acquired by Gibson in 1988 following the company’s second collapse into bankruptcy. He’d already left the brand at this point, so Gibson developed synths such as the OB-Mx under the direction of Keith McMillen in collaboration with D.N. “Lynx” Crowe and Don Buchla. "Of the many stories I have heard and decisions I have made since joining Gibson, this situation seemed simple," said Gibson CEO James Curleigh. "Let's do the right thing by putting the Oberheim brand back in the hands of its namesake founder Tom Oberheim." "After over thirty years of being without it, I am thrilled to once again be able to use the Oberheim trademark for my products," Oberheim said. "I am very grateful to the new leadership team of Gibson for making this possible." Oberheim has continued to develop synths independently over the past three decades, including a remake of the SEM and a range of Eurorack modules, as well as the OB-6 in collaboration with Dave Smith’s Sequential. He hasn’t revealed what he plans to do with the trademark, but with Behringer developing its own OB-Xa clone, we may well get some official reissues.

Objekt’s ‘Theme From Q’ ‘inspiration’ gets long awaited vinyl release Posted: 22 Jul 2019 03:39 AM PDT Relive the glory days of Basement Q with this unreleased anthem. Back in 2017, Objekt released the Ibiza-baiting 'Theme From Q', a "reinterpretation" of an unreleased track from the mysterious DJ Bogdan, the owner of the now-closed Berlin club Basement Q. The club was apparently a favorite of both Objekt and fellow Berlin resident Call Super, although accounts of the Schöneberg venue, which supposedly closed in 2012, come solely from the two collaborators. Nevertheless, ‘Love Inna Basement (Morning Dub)’ is finally coming to vinyl this week. The track is accompanied with a rave-ready alternate version of the track, titled ‘Love Inna Basement (Midnite XTC), which Call Super calls “the track I've taken the most garys to in my entire life”. The white-label 12″ is out this Wednesday (July 24) and is available via Redeye. Head over to DJ Bogdan’s newly launched Bandcamp to stream and download both tracks.
