![]() Be sure to go over the words with the speakers to determine what the rhythms should be beforehand. You can go right from stanza to stanza, or put a small interlude of groove between each one. Have them start a groove around 80 bpm for a couple of bars before the speakers enter. Most kids we know understand this, so you should be able to pick a small group of kids who can do this or are at least willing to try. ![]() Beatboxing is when the sounds of drums or a drum machine are imitated using the mouth and throat, typically. But to really spice it up, we suggest adding a human percussion groove, or beatbox, behind it. It can simply be read or spoken as it is, either with one student per line or stanza or several reciting together or alternating lines and stanzas to spice it up. Instead of being the single line narrative it has been all along, it changes over to a poem. ![]() The dialog before this song is unique in the revue. Plus, it's another one that could work as a stand-alone outside of the revue if that is helpful to you. Labeled "Positively pop," it bounces with a dynamic energy from the beginning to the end. Gillet used open soure licensing for Mutable’s designs, and they’ve been cloned in Eurorack, translated to software like VCV Rack, and incorporated into hardware synths, like Arturia’s MicroFreak and MiniFreak.Īs a result, Mutable Instruments’ designs will be influencing hardware and software synthesis for decades to come.The finale of a revue that is all about being positive should definitely have a positive vibe, and that's just what this one has. Mutable’s designs are so well-loved, in fact, that they’ve made the jump from Eurorack to other formats. As a result, it’s now rare to find a modular that doesn’t include some Mutable Instrument modules, and some combinations (ie, Rings into Clouds) have helped define modern styles of modular synthesis. These designs brought new options and new ideas to modular synthesizer, ranging from the polymorphic possibilities of Braids, the granular washes of Clouds and the AI-driven generative drum sequencing of Grids. In the last 10 years, Mutable released a steady string of successful Eurorack designs, including the Braids macro oscillator, Clouds texture synthesizer, Grids topographic drum sequencer, Marbles random sampler, Rings resonator, Tides ‘tidal modulator’ and more. Gillet phased these out in 2014 to focus on the company’s Eurorack designs. Mutable Instruments created several standalone synths and DIY projects before moving into Eurorack, including the Shruti-1, aka ‘The Simplest Synth That Could Possibly Rock’, Anushri, Ambika & MIDIpal. ![]() Support for modules will be available through the site until June 2023. The Mutable Instruments site has been updated so that information on their designs is now in a Module Archive. Founder Émilie Gillet announced plans earlier in the year to shut down the company and retire from the area of music technology. The announcement marks the end of one of the most influential electronic music technology companies of the last decade, not just in Eurorack, but in synthesis in general. Mutable Instruments has updated their site with an announcement that “The production of all modules has halted and Mutable Instruments will permanently shut down in December 2022.”
