Lines is out - how are you using it?
My new Plugin with AudioThing has been out since Thursday now and I am happy about the positive reception. Making something non-standard is always a risk, but it seems that people enjoy what it can do. Especially the iOS crowd is having fun and catapulted the iPad version to the top of the music chart. It’s the first plugin I did with AudioThing that had that platform in mind from the get go, and I think that shows. As Lines is many things at once I am very curious to hear what you do with it ...

A most powerful piece of music
I had forgotten about Rzewski's version of this Chilean protest song. But when I saw on Twitter today the hopeful tweet from the Bandcamp union I was reminded of it. And like the first time I heard it decades ago I am torn apart as I listen to it. The motiv laid out in the first part is deconstructed, reflected, re-assembled in seemingly endless variations, but it remains the DNA of every part. The video here allows for reading the score, which is wonderful. Especially making use of variable...

Video Premiere: The Avantgarde Synthesizer of 1960s East Germany
Hey Ipsters,Here is the new video! It took a day to film and five to edit and narrate. This is something I am truly only able to pull off thanks to your support. I will release an EP later today with all tracks I recorded with the amazing Subharchord, and one piece from it will be free for the higher tiers. A Soundpack is coming, too, as usual.Love,Hainbach

Interview in Cyclical Dreams Magazine
Here is new interview with me, where I tell especially about upcoming things in terms of music. Enjoy!Love,Hainbach
New Video: The Soothing Ambient And Microtonal Depths of a Decopunk Synthesizer
Hey Ipsters,I set the premiere time wrong for some reason, probably because so many things on my mind, that the Terra vid came out at night, while I was fast asleep. So apologies for anyone waiting in chat. Uploading music after coffee, and the preset pack once I return to my home in Berlin."This is the Soma Terra, a microtonal digital synthesizer released just this year. Soma send it to me a while back for feedback, but I only got to play it now (sorry Vlad), as I felt this instruments dese...
New Video: The Massive Sound Of An Experimental Soviet Drum Machine
Hey Ipsters,back from holidays with a true banger! I found this incredibly rare drum machine in deplorable condition, but had it fixed up. It probably the most "soviet" instrument I have ever encountered. Simple technology a decade behind what was happening in "the West", but an industrial design that makes it look weigh as much as a tank. A sound that is massive but very unfashionable for its time, yet has a very melancholic undertone. It is both very dumb and very cool today.Jo...
More live news - Austria
Good news!I will be playing Cafe Wolf in Graz on the 23rd of November, and give a class to the sound design course at FH Johanneum. First time as Hainbach in Austria! Anyone know something I should check out to film in Graz or has an idea for another show in the area?Cheers,Hainbach
Video Premiere: Exploring The New Tape and Test Equipment Studio in Porto
Today, a video on the new tape and test equipment studio at Sonoscopia, that was in large parts built around my collection of test equipment, especially those that made up my Landfill Totems.The workshop I gave here will be available in full to all paid tiers - If you want the deep knowledge and inspiration, you will enjoy this.Sadly, there were recording errors (I should have brought my own recorder), so there is no recording of the show or soundpacks this time.Love,Hainbach
London Show, 3rd Of December, Patron Meet-up
Hey Ipsters,I am playing two shows in London, afternoon and evening at Iklectik on the 3rd of December. It’s a small venue, best to reserve early.

A weekend cheers
I played a show in an abandoned mine (Zeche) in Hamm today and I wanted to share some pictures of this stunning place. I was supposed to play in the absolutely wonderful Kaude (the miners wash room) but permits did not come through. So it was a more conventional „abandoned hall turned club“ setting. Still, I had a lot of fun and I played very differently - more spacious, trippy and soft, fitting the Sunday afternoon after hour setting. It helped that I had made new patches for my app Fluss -...
Video Premiere: The Enchanting LoFi Textures Of An Optical Sound Sampler
Hey Ipsters,Today, a new video on an almost forgotten instrument, the Chilton Talentmaker.The Chilton Talentmaker is a 1970s optical sound sampler, very much like the slightly more famous Optigan. Designed as an easy device for beginners to make music and entertain at home, it found late fame through its use in Michel Gondry's "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind" in 2004.I explore it a bit further than normal :-)For the higher tiers, a very special sample pack and a piece of music w...

Video Premiere: The Secret Of The Overtone Synthesizer
This is absolutely the strangest yet most musical science unit I have come across - the GE79 creates overtones from input sounds. It has many options that make it wonderful, especially due to crazy stereo phasing options. There is a sound pack for the top tier available, so don't miss that.See you at the premiere!Love,Hainbach

Video Premiere: I built an early electronic music studio in my basement
Hey Ipsters,Took me long to finally get it right, but Studio B feels pretty good. Here is an overview of the thought process, the gear and the challenges I faced. I hope this inspires you in your music place setup.Soundpack and music will come tomorrow, I could not edit it in time for the video release.Love,Hainbach
Video Premiere: This Vintage Tape Echo Plays Like An Instrument
Hey Ipsters,Here is the video to the wonderful Dynacord Echocord Super 76 I wrote about earlier the week. I fell asleep taking the kids to bed, so I was awake at 2 AM and started editing until now. Actually a pretty good time to work - no disturbances at all.Enjoy!Love,Hainbach
Video Premiere: The Secret Science Tools I Use To Process Drums

New Video: The Touring Musicians Dream Synth?
Hey Ipsters,Here is my take on the OP-1 Field - I hope you enjoy this one, it is very music and imagery focused.Love,Hainbach
Video Premiere: East Germany's Forgotten Electric Piano
Hey Ipsters,here is a video on a rare instrument from behind the Iron Curtian - the East German Weltmeister Claviset 200. An absolutely charming electric piano, with a sound like a big toy piano. Very useful for scoring whimsical scenes, or horror, or just drifting away in a see of effects.The 7.5 Ipsters get a sound pack of single notes, so you can assemble your own round robin version of this in any sampler.See you at the premiere!Love,Hainbach
New Video Premiere: This Bauhaus Inspired Choir Sings Robot Dreams
Hey Ipsters,I got completely lost in the choir by Teenage Engineering over the weekend. I posted a bunch about it, saw how divisive these cuties are, and still decided to make a video. Because I think its cool project from TE, something different and exciting. And I love vocal synthesis and physical things. There is much to hear and see in this one, and I touch on what I don't like also, but mostly I see potential.Let me know your thoughts on these once you have checked out the video.Love,Ha...
Video Premiere: The Prettiest Analog Synth
Hey Ipsters!I underestimated the Mutuca FM by Arthur Joly at first. It just looks so pretty and a bit toy like, so I was happily surprised when it sounded this special. Check out the video, music and soundpack for the higher tiers to follow. One tip: pre-order a unit early, the waiting list will be long. Love,Hainbach
