about

For his twenty-fifth release in the ongoing NYZ catalog, David Burraston arrives with MM2, a nearly seventy-minute exploration of the GForce Minimonsta2. The Minimonsta2 itself is a software replication of Moog's well-known Model D subtractive analog monosynth, albeit with some modern additions, such as a reverb effect and the ability to modulate the pulsewidth of oscillator 1.

In the past, Dave's had little opportunity through the years to play around on a Minimoog - stray sessions here and there - and until now, he's been unable to find the 'sweet spot' on the machine for his particular requirements. Thanks to the generosity of Jerome Meunier at GForce, Dave was sent a copy of the Minimonsta2 software, finally allowing him a deep dive on the instrument, and the resultant recording is as transcendent as any of the Cell Meditations sessions or other 'DRN' iterations before it.

The MM2 session consisted of a special drone-focused arrangement utilizing four different instances of the Minimonsta2, each individually processed through a separate Serum FX strip. Each layer was spaced an octave apart, allowing for some ultra-subtle detuning and drift via the circuit modelling, as well as the FX.

This recording is a companion to other GForce synth sessions of ODT3 and SEM on Psoma, and the earlier OSC2 release on Superpang, continuing the software studies on those releases, while also conveying gorgeous pillars of drone music in the way that only NYZ methodologies can. The vibrations present on MM2 are like ripples in space-time, overlaid in psychedelic modulations with one another, expansive and incredibly dense all at once. MM2 is, like most NYZ recordings, highly recommended for headphone listening as well as higher-decibel playback on speaker systems with sufficient low frequency output.

NOTE: After some confusion from listeners, we'd like to make clear the fact that all NYZ/Noyzelab catalog releases at Psoma are available ONLY as abridged digital versions for name-your-price/free download, and in their full unabridged editions as physical CD-Rs. There is not an unabridged digital version of anything from NYZ at Psoma, and the physical editions do not ship with unabridged digital versions either (that is, if you do not count the digital music present on the compact discs). For listeners only interested in unabridged digital versions, we encourage you to visit noyzelab.bandcamp.com to purchase those directly from NYZ, or even better, subscribe to his Bandcamp output and just get everything.
