Make Noise Records Presents: Shared System Series
Make Noise Records is proud to announce our first installment of the Shared System Series! It is available for purchase and TRASH_AUDIO is the only place you can purchase it from online for the time being. Please visit the Make Noise Records webpage for more information.
The Shared System Series compiles the separate recordings of several artists utilizing the same electronic musical instrument, the Shared System. At times it feels as though electronic music has become an overly automated form driven by simplified genre specific apps and software. What happens when the signal path is not pre-defined or optimized for a popular result? The Shared System is a modular synthesizer developed by Make Noise. It has no pre-determined signal path, and is not designed for any particular musical destination. In limiting the artists to this one instrument, we hope the Shared System Series of records will purely illustrate the intentions of the artists.
Mastered for vinyl by Audible Oddities, etched into high quality master lacquers made by SAE Mastering, and shipped to URP for pressing. The result is a high fidelity 7″ record. Like the Shared System instrument, the sleeves for these records are a combination of digital and analog technology. They are designed using computer software and printed using a hand-cranked letterpress called the Vandercook 4.

this looks great, i just ordered mine. thanks for putting this together.
Are there plans to offer a subscription to the entire series, or do we need to buy them one by one?
There are no plans for a subscription for this series. We’re taking it one at a time.
I just purchased the vinyl – looks awesome – great work :D
Was wondering when the download links for the alternative takes will be emailed?
The choice of format mean d I could buy it, but not play it. Kind of forces my hand to say ‘no’.
They email the mp3 as well!
Buy a record player. Then buy records.
Damn now you convinced me to buy vinyl player. Any recommendations about which model is the best not-too-expensive option?
After long consideration, I decided to order this. Although I don’t find vinyl records particularly practical, I’m really rather curious to hear Alessandro’s compositions on this synthesizer.
Looking forward to checking it out.
