Modular Exploration - Clicks and Clocks

A sequence created entirely using Doepfer modules.
Sound: A-110-4 going into A-137-1 into A-101-2
LPG opened by A-142-4, A-137-1 modulated by A-143-9 running at audio rate via A-132-3. A-149-1 + A-149-2 creating some randomness. A-156 taming the randomness.
Sequence: A-176 > A-138m > A-151 > A-156

Doepfer West Coast Magic (featuring A-110-4 A-137 A-101-2)

A-110-4 sinewave going through a comparator, VC polarizer and a few other bits in order to derive a saw (well, almost!)
Notes provided by A-149-1. A-101-2 LPG for some classic Buchla-style plucked saw sequencing fun.

An interpretation of Todd Barton's Krell patch.
Live recording. Doepfer A-100 system. Doepfer A-171-2, A-110-4, A-149-1, A-101-2 play the lead roles here.

Doepfer A-100 Percussive Krell Patch 18.06.16

A-143-4 provides the clock and three triangle oscillators. Fed into 3 x A-101-2 LPGs. Clock goes into A-160-2, A-160-1, A-149-2, A-162 triggering all four envelopes on an A-142-4. Around 1 minute I start adjusting the Common Frequency on A-143-4. Some interesting relationships emerge as all voices + tempo are tied to the same base frequency. EHX Cathedral provides the reverb.

100% Doepfer modules doing some classic Buchla sounds
Sequence:
A-152 (5 steps) > A-138m > A-151 sequential switch > VCO V/Oct
Sounds: 2 x A-110-4. FM Index modulated via A-132-3 and A-133
LPG pinged by a short pulse coming out of A-162
Quick transformations performed via A-138e three way crossfader. That is one useful module!
Reverb: EHX Cathedral.

Doepfer A-152 Sequence (A-110-4 FM into A-101-2 LPG)

This exploration features two cross-modulated Doepfer A-110-4 quadrature thru zero VCOs as well as a Doepfer A-111-2 High End VCO.
What do you think of the LPG? Can you guess which LPG that is?

Buchla Style Percussion (Eurorack LPG Exploration)

100% Doepfer A-100

Buchla inspired self-running modular patch based around 4 x Doepfer A-110-4 Thru Zero VCOs frequency modulating each other. Filters: A-103, A-101-2, A-105. Clocked by a frequency modulated A-143-4 quad LFO.

Reverb: Electro Harmonix Cathedral.

Not a track by any means. Abrupt edits and all. :/

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.
