[3-2009] - Hipertóxica

Hipertóxica, is a new raw improvisation and video, this time more into dark/industrial fields with additional abstract and manipulated images for visual ambiences. This track is based on the groove generated with a Korg MS2000 old school step sequencer while playing a Nord Rack 2x for leads and tweaking parameters on both machines. The video, again, mixes images from the recording session with some infrared captures I did this same evening. Recorded as it sounds on december 2008 at The BlueRoom by Ran Kirlian.

Description: sequence/drone jam with Korg MS2000, Clavia Nord Rack 2x & Korg Kaoss Pad 3.

All color and infrared video images recorded with Sony V3 and edited with Sony Vegas.

[1-2009] - Somnis (drone jam)

Real-time recording while getting some fun with Waldorf Q filters (few days after purchase it) and drifting pads from Oberheim OB12 and Access Virus Indigo. This drone track mostly drifts on few notes while playing paramenters on the machines (specially filters). The video features images from the recording session with some ladscape captures I did on these days.

Recorded on december 2008 at The BlueRoom by Ran Kirlian.No additional audio effects or enhancements. Video edition with Sony Vegas.

Synths: Waldorf Q, Oberheim OB12 & Access Virus Indigo.

Bert Strolenberg does an interview with Ran Kirlian at Sonic Inmersion, his website dedicated to electronic music. During the interview, I answer to questions regarding to my music, The Blue_Room studio and about my current and future projects.

A few pictures of me at The Blue_Room illustrate the interview, where part of the gear are visible in the current studio room (not blue btw). They are located at The Blue_Room gallery.

Some more promo pics were also done by my girlfriend using my modded IR camera under a cloudy december afternoon.

They were finally not used on the interview, but I found them nice and fitting the atmosphere of my music. A little gallery can be found at the Ran Kirlian Portraits gallery on the photography section.

[8-2008] - Atmosfear

Another real-time recording is now online with it's own video, this time mixing images from recording session with some infrared captures I did some time ago. Recorded on sunday, june 15 2008 at The BlueRoom by Ran Kirlian.

Story behind the video:
I use to like to visit desertic and abandoned places. One evening I was taking pictures in a place where nobody was except me while, suddenly, a strange kid appeared and wanted me to follow him to a place where he said there was something important buried I must discover. After some minutes walking in silent, we arrived to an old ruined school and then, he asked me to cross a door to find his friends but not to look at the right door, because there was the bad teacher room...

Synths:
- Korg MS2000: noise waves
- Oberheim OB12: big space pads
- Alesis Micron: filter pads
- Sounds like voices, bells, storms & other strange noises added on final mix.
