without unpatching yesterday's patch... but routing the final stereo out through the Intellijel Rainmaker.... bells via Rings.. and some additional EQ and pitching in WaveLab. the Melodicer sequencer is really fun, generating endless melodies and rhythms... 10% of which are super cool! i just wish it was more than "1 measure" long....

i've gone and done it. "rings into clouds" (well, Beads, in this case).... i've always loved Rings, the ease of use without it needing a VCA and envelope and the pluck and bell sounds are fantastic. here Rings is sequenced by a Melodicer and then going through a variety of processing including Beads and Rossum Morpheus and Panharmonicon. after it was recorded i varispeeded it down 5 half steps... as i usually do. it's all a little busy and such.. but, i had endless versions and tweaks and figured i'd just post it up

one of the things i love about modular synthesizers is that when you turn them off and turn them back on again certain parameters have reset and you may be presented with something quite different than you last heard. today's sound is such a scenario. no re-patching was done from yesterday's sound but i adjusted and played a few parameters as i recorded. i stand by what i said about modular synthesis many years ago and that is that is the most organic and alive form of synthesis... it can really take on a life of its own.

Patricia Wolf is an artist based in Portland, Oregon, who describes herself as a musician / sound designer / field recordist / DJ. It’s in the latter capacity that she features here, having put together the first Bandcloud Guest Mix of 2022. We’ve been in conversation a lot over the past year and a half or so, all basically stemming from my playing her track ‘Sauvie Island Wilderness Area’ from the Room40 compilation Particle Count on my radio show. Ducks aplenty.

This mix is a wonderful selection of ~ambient~ pieces from the recent past, ranging from Fennesz and Olivia Block to KMRU and Hiro Kone, Astrid Sonne and Penelope Trappes to William Basinski. It ranges from raucous and overpowering to subtly gentle, with melancholic piano leading into a whirlwind of samples as the mix reaches its conclusion.

Patricia’s got an album called I'll Look For You In Others coming out on Past Inside The Present soon – you can already preorder on Juno but Bandcamp links will be up shortly. I think tomorrow actually.

Nine Inch Nails: 28 Ghosts IV

Patch notes: This was three sessions of Rings/Plaits/Magneto/Mimeophon/VCAs/Prism/Ripples through tape, recorded with Norns. One session was eurorack + oooooo on Norns looping long sections I played with a KeyStep controlling the rack (instead of Hermod/Marbles). There was also another one where I used eurorack/tape into Norns running the Cranes script.

Tape was used to saturation the audio and add warble, it's a short tape loop that I found in my box of tapes. This tape loop was actually made by Amulets, he sold some through his Bandcamp page. My person tape loops are even more warbly because they're not as well made 😄
