Since most of us around here at Delicious Audio are guitar players, we tend to focus mostly on axe stomp boxes, but this week Electro Harmonix came out with some news that will raise the eyebrows of electronic drum and synth gurus as well as vintage gear aficionados. They have has released a circuit-faithful true analog new take on the classic 70s Clockworks rhythm controller which can be used to control sequencer drums, synths, drum machines, and electronic percussion instruments....

It's a pretty common problem, especially for those of us who move around a bunch onstage: ever wish you could control your effects remotely instead of being tied to your pedalboard? Sure, there have been various solutions over the years, usually made by tinkerers; Les Paul built his "Paulverizer", which controlled various doodads offstage, Danny Gatton built his "Magic Dingus" box, which controlled his Echoplex, among other things, both hardwired boxes, with ingenious analog switching, yet tied to the effects via a direct connection.

Emerging from the ashes of previous incarnation Religious to Damn, Zorah Atash and Joshua Strawn have spent the last few years creating a compelling new sound and image as Azar Swan. Their recently released full length album “Dance Before the War,” available from Handmade Birds Records, presents a technically modern sound that at times pays homage to the 90’s goth rock canon.
