My humble efforts in VCV Rack

This track was originally a Tinyvcvpatch but now it's mine, all mine mwaaahhaa!!!! Enough of the frivolity!
A dark ambient tune set for Dark times, Covid, leaders who don't lead, egotistical dictators who won't leave power [you know who you are]!

The welding-melding

A Soundtrack that only exists for film inside my head!
The Robos have finally gained consciousness and are plotting and are going to overthrow the humans in Tokyo 2250.
These tracks are the soundtrack which backdrops this film.
Made in VCV Rack using Visuelle-musik's 'Touch Wah' patch, samples from  Krautrock loops from Music Radar and Fehler Fabrik's PSI OP drums module.
Enjoy the story as it unfolds in your imagination!

Robo Rebellion Toyko 2250

Hello long time no play! Been working in the half arsed lockdown in the UK.
Another VCV Rack playlist with the vague connection to Africa and all it's triumphs and it's current struggle with Covid. Hopefully a brighter future awaits when all this shit is over!
Made using various VCV Rack set ups by Omri Cohen, Roberto Gomes and if I have not mentioned and thanked you, I'm a bad puppy.

Zulus: from the veldt to Kwazulu

Hello u again, dear listener are you sitting comfortably... well not for long! 
Here are 5 Tracks made on VCV Rack, using Baconpaul's Distortion for guitars patch from VCV Rack community.
I have tormented the poor Surge Chorus to control their Delay as well as addition of a Wobbulator[sine wave and Lfo connected together]. 
Enjoy their torment. No guitars were used or harmed at all!!!

Hello and Merry Christmas, a bit early but...
This is my favourite Christmas song, originally by Greg Lake, performed by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. There is an international choir of nationalities speaking the lyrics on my version.

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
And eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me the dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel, be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve!

Made with a midi file and using Roger Knight's midi plyer set up patch. 
All the words in the song sum  up all the hopes and fears of 2020.

I Believe In Father Christmas  Choir - 4 Trks

I Believe In Father Christmas[Instrml]

Hello, I have arisen again. This time it is a collaboration with caowasteland from VCV Rack Community. His synced VCV rack synths with the added celebration, I got my midi key to talk to the said Rack! Huzzar! I feel like a proper Prog  keyboardist, think I'll start wearing a feather boa and feathered cape like Rick Wakeman! I might even start sticking knives into Hammond organs!

Hello, it is Christmas Even and not a mouse was stirring.... …. that bloody mouse should be stirring the Brandy Sauce... but enough frivolity!!
This track matches my mood at present, half sad and half vaguely hopeful! Made using 'Omri Cohen's Generative theory patch' on VCV Rack. Looking back at a shit year and hopeful for a New one but I doubt it, Boris Johnson has still got his head up his arse over Brexit!

The Loooong Winter Requiem

I have been fighting and building up this synth voice in the style of Casio CZ-1 using free modules, mainly Mockba's CZ oscillator strips and Mosquito Labs PulseCZar and Fold Czar in VCV Rack.
See what you all think, have I got it right?

Casio CZ - 1 style synth

These tracks were made using 'AlgoritmArte's Zefiro' module as the only sound source. A truly beautiful Fugue piece was the result with a little assistance from JWModules' Noteseq16, Grayscales Supercell and Hora Follower. 
Enjoy the sheer beauty before the UK goes back into Total Lockdown until February Half term.

AlgoritmArte Zefiro - Pt1

Another patch, more track uploads. Made using one sample recorded from 'Blob Opera Choir' [Google]. Then put through AS Delay FX into Chronoblob Delay, then Ahornberg Tape Recorder module and finally Rackwindows Tape module. A simple patch.
The title relates to the events of 6-7-Jan 2021, Washington and the invasion of Congress.

My entry for the VCP 56 Dervish D challenge. Rudimentary synthesis of Middle Eastern drums using Frozen Wastelands 'Probability Note Arabic' module, Sha Bang's Neutrinode sequencer and DK BD-9 drum module. 
The track has a Middle Eastern feel to it. See what you all think of it.
It is based on Vangelis' Dervish D track on the Spiral album, that was the challenge to re-imagine it in VCV Rack.

Dervish D - +midi Keys VCP 56

Here's the sample I used for one of my patches. It goes with State Wars 2021 patch, it is the main sound source. I thank the good people who created the 'Blob Opera Choir' it is rather wonderful! Google it and see for yourself.

Another entry for the VCP 56 Dervish D challenge. Rudimentary synthesis of Middle Eastern strings and samples from Loopmasters free 'Arabian Voices pack'

The track has a Middle Eastern feel to it. See what you all think of it.

Another of my 'Synth creations', The Trautonium, this is based on Doepfer modules on this link:

This patch uses Worker 13's Frequency Dividers controller strip-thanks go out to him!

Trautonium As Per Doefper Mods

Made using DwineKcuttop's 'Vortex Guitar' patch. A VCV Rack rendition in the style of the Lexicon Vortex Multifx rack module. 
Originally it was based on MIDI input but I have fiddled with it, so now it can be used without that.
Enjoy the messed up tones.

Hello you, 
This patch is one of my own, creative aren't I? It involves 3 Macro Oscillators [Audible Instruments], Valley Topograph and Nysthi's Convolvzilla Reverb and Confusing Sampler and that Mindmeld mixer. That's it!
It hasn't stop raining here for 2-3 days. Hence the Water theme.
Enjoy it or loathe it, we all need rain.
