Moldover took some time in The Alps to share his innovative Yaeltex Mojito hacking ideas. This new overview video showcases the array of hardware modifications that he devised for “The Mojito 1.5”. Some of the 3D models he created can be downloaded from the Yaeltex forums and 3D-printed for use on your own Yaeltex controller.

Moldover performed live at NAMM 2023 alongside Lula XYZ as part of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of MIDI known as “MIDI@40.” The result was an experimental improv session, delving into the combined sonic possibilities of Lula’s MiMu Gloves (made famous by Imogen Heap) and Moldover’s custom controllers. The performance offered a unique exploration of the blending of their sonic styles and music tech.

In honor of MIDI’s 40th anniversary, The Museum of Making Music launched a new exhibit called “MIDI @ 40”, curated by Jonathan Piper and featuring a new commission by Moldover.  Tasked with crafting a simple jambox without visibly modified controllers, Moldover delivered “The Collaborator” – a carefully programmed collection of hardware tied together with Ableton Live, Max, and (of course) MIDI. Ahead of the exhibit’s April opening, he created this brief demo video showcasing the instrument’s capabilities. The exhibit is open to the public and runs from April 7 – August 31.

After the successful launch of Moldover’s remastered eponymous debut album and its captivating release video, he proudly unveils a new “Deep Dive: Remastered Light-Theremin” video. In this candid, 9-minute presentation, Moldover delves into the design intricacies that made this physical artwork truly exceptional. For those who may have missed the initial release, visiting the album landing page will provide basic details along with convenient links to listen, watch, and acquire your own copy of this extraordinary creation.

The MiniMasher is Moldover’s third bespoke jambox, iterated for a number of years before reaching its current equilibrium of simplicity, portability, and accessibility. Delighted with its final outcome, he is proudly passing it over to his long-time collaborator, interactive arrtist Rich DDT. Moldover captured this new demo video showcasing all of the jambox’s current features before letting it go.

Four Track (Acoustic) is live on all major music distribution platforms today.

The original release of “Four Track” marked a return to Moldover’s roots as a singer-songwriter, now blended with the technological innovations that have since become his musical signature. All the songs on the album were originally written with just an acoustic guitar and the artist’s voice, before going through the elaborate performance and production processes that gave Four Track its finished sound.

Reflecting back years later Moldover remarked “I found myself missing the raw and authentic character of the original demo-recordings that no one got to hear. I decided to re-record a batch of these songs in that simplified, stripped-down format, and throw in one new song to keep things interesting”. The end result is interesting indeed, and very different from anything we’ve heard from him so far. Nine songs of pure Moldover, sans technology.

A new Moldover album is dropping next week. Get a streaming preview of two songs and pre-order the whole album from BandCamp. Join Moldover’s Patreon team to get a download of the full album right now.

The Mojito is here! A new custom controller is born with help from the fantastic minds at Yaeltex. Watch the new video, download the free Mojito Ableton Live Template, and order your own (with your own optional customization if you like) from Yaeltex.

Congrats to the Yaeltex team for creating such an amazing system!
