Cycling’74 has announced UpMix a set of Pluggo based plug-ins for stereo to 5:1 surround convertion. Compared to other packages of plug-ins (Pluggo Hipno and Mode) the price is rather steep US$ 495 the same as OctiRama a 5:1 compressor.
The C’74 label has also released a new record by Gregory Taylor.
Gregory’s respectful recombinant homage to the Invalid Object series of recordings curated by Christopher Murphy for the Fällt label (which Gregory describes as “the new century’s equivalent of Brian Eno’s Obscure Music label”) captures a recording of Gregory at one with his favorite software — jhno’s deep and subtle loop-based performance instrument radiaL.
