"Sequencing Without Sequencers" is my research into composing on a Doepfer A-100 analog modular eurorack system without using any actual sequencers.

Here's an attempt using a very simple chain:

A-143-4 Square Out (Clock) > A-152 Clock In, A-160 Trig In & A-160-2 Trig In
A-152 Dig Out 2,3 & 5 > A-138m Matrix Mixer Inputs 1, 2 & 4. Resets on step 6 (5 step sequence)
A-160-2 Clock Divider /7 Out > A-138m Input 3.
A-138m A Out > A-156 Dual Quantizer
A-149-1 transposing the sequence every 16 steps

Sound Source: A-110-4 X 2 > A-103 & A-101-2

Sequencing Without Sequencers - #01 - Doepfer A-152 A-160-2 into a mixer

BLEACH CULT is the musical nom de plume of Vytis Puronas, singer-songwriter and film sound designer, formerly one half of lo-fi synthpop outfit Soy Farm. His music is very textural and direct, with a genre-bending approach that explores post-punk aesthetics, minimal wave soundscapes and intriguing hooks with a pleasantly retro vibe.

BLEACH CULT is all about raw imperfections and beautiful spontaneity, captured live on analog modular synthesizers, often relying on single takes and instinctive executions of tracks that leave little to no room for extensive tweaking and post-processing. Quite interestingly, Bleach Cult’s music is hard to categorize under the umbrella of a single genre. Instead, Puronas creates a distinct noirish tone, which borrows from influences as diverse as post-punk, minimal wave, techno and even pre-war blues and 60s rockabilly, just to mention a few.
