Pluto's Moons Pt. 1: Charon | Ambient Soundscape | Modern Sounds Pluto Synthesizer
This is the first part of tracks with the Modern Sounds Pluto semimodular synthesizer, dedicated to every single sound modifier named after Pluto's five moons Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra.
Part one is about Charon.
Charon is the largest of Pluto's moons, first discovered in 1978 at the United States Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., using photographic plates taken at the United States Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station (NOFS). Its diameter is 1212 kilometers, which is about half of the diameter of Pluto itself. Charon is named after the ferryman Charon, who in Greek mythology brings the dead across the river Styx to the realm of the god of the dead Hades (in Latin Pluto).
In this track the Modern Sounds Pluto synthesizer is accompanied by PastFx PX-101 Low Pass Filter, Hologram Electronics Microcosm (Mosaic B), Chase Bliss Reverse Mode C and the Eventide Space Reverb (Blackhole/Darkmatter algorithm). Pluto itself is only modified by its modifier Charon.
The PastFx PX-101 is a fascinating sound tool, playing a major role in this ambient soundscape. It is a reincarnation of the famous Moog Moogerfooger MF-101 Low Pass Filter.
PX-101 is a perfect combination with the Modern Sounds-Pluto.
Single track stereo recording, no overdubbing.
All audio and video material and mastering by The Pedalboard Orchestra.
