Nocturne is an electroacustic composition based upon wooden chimes sampling and treated with modular synths starting from Morphagene and evolving through a generative patch using modulation from Ochd, Tides, Maths and effected by Clouds, Arbhar, Magneto and Microcosms.
Reaktor's Sylvan provides some sweet sparse generative melody to enhance the calm vibe processed by DarkStar's granular reverb for a dreamy touch.

What started out as a supposedly quick patch turned into a wider soundscape taking advantage of the calming proprieties of the nighttime itself, please enjoy it in the dark and with headphones

Nocturne Flowers

A rainy day jam featuring Rain, Eurorack, Arkhis and Pigments.

Metamorphosis

In a constant search of new approaches and sounds I found myself playing around with a dictaphone, here's a kid's carrillion was recorded on it and slowed down, re recorded on Morphagene and once again slighty slowed down and filtered through QPAS.
Modular patch also features Piston Honda going into Forbidden Planet and some Krell-ish inspired action featuring Lifeforms Double Helix sequenced by MI Stages randomly modulated by TiNRS Wobbler in S&H mode and sent on both Mimeophon and Magneto and into Veils with two Tides' LFOs controlling the volume causing them to fade in and out.

Some virtual synths provides some extra ambiance/textures, 

To Cleanse//To Turn (An Hymn Of Sorts)

Off the BRTHRM's Vault, I've recorded this one quite a bit of time ago when I first got the Berhinger TD3, around last march, and put together this first track with it and some modular synths and Mother 32, Landscape's Stereo Field, the trustworthy Lyra8 and some field recordings alongside effects and Kontakt's Straylight

The Great Filter

The Gun Is Good//The Penis Is Evil is a tribute track to the late Sean Connery who passed away on the 31st of ocotber 2020, despite being praised for his role as James Bond I couldnt help myself but saying goobdye through what may be the least popular of his movie: Zardoz, a 1974 psychedelic Sci-Fi cult B-movie in which Sean Connery plays Zed, a post apocalyptic warrior haunting for truth behind the mask of his people's God.

Background drone made with a personal Straylight patch with a pitched down sample off the movie on the Grain engine and a field recording on the Sample engine, surrounding drone provided by Reaktor's DRON-E using two pitched down samples off the movie. Additional underscoring drones by Arkhis and Frönobulax, the Zardoz monologue was fed into G'litch for additonal glitching madness. 
Everything else is Morphagene loaded with the fighting sample with Size and Slide modulated by Tides and Marbles, output is doubled and filtered through QPAS and Forbidden Planet, the latter is then sent through Clouds, Morphagene's CV out triggers an envelope to feed it into Clouds. Additional noises comes from Lifeforms's Double Helix being randomly sent through Black Hole 2 on granular delay mode, background beating by Plaits into Strymon Magneto.

The Gun Is Good//The Penis Is Evil

I've been in love with the Lyra8 since the day I unpacked it, I mean, what's not to love about it? 8 voices that lends themselves to unforgiving noise or sweet lushes and anything in between, today's track features the Lyra8 alone, nothing else, just the Lyra through two different chains of effects at once.

Chain 1: Earthquaker Life Pedal -> Earthquaker Transmisser -> EHX Small Stone
Chain 2: EHX Ravish Sitar -> Earthquaker Avalanche Run -> Hologram Electronics' Microcosm
Extra glitches at 7:50 made by feeding some Lyra samples into Reaktor's g'Litch.

Added some space in Ableton using NI Raum, Waves Brauer Motion and Reaktor's  Dark Star, cause space is the place right?

Relgious Dissent (Stained Glass Falls)

Kinda had little time for today's #Noisevember recordings so I tested out a technique I was intrigued by for quite a while now using a Max Msp Image-to-sound patch (found at this link: https://cycling74.com/forums/image-to-sound-a-la-aphex-twins-equation/, thansk to FEN for sharing it).

Starting from the cover artwork of the track itself (made with Processing) I got the sound from the aforementioned Max patch, I then pitched it down quite a lot which resulted in it sounding like a beat, on top of that I layered it with SpaceCraft, DUST, Metaphysical Function and DRON-E, all of them loaded with the same sample from the image, to give it a more spaced out vibe.

HxErAaRyTs

Another beating track for #Noisevember, this time around the beat is from Sabatini sampler alongside two other Reaktor's layers for background drones.
Main stage is taken by SOMA Ether into Landscape Stereo field which in return sends it to Erica Synths's Black Hole in Tap Tap Delay mode, additionally Marbles triggers Plaits into Morphagene as delay furthermore effected by Magneto Strymon; Piston Honda mk3 is controlled by the Landscape Stereo Field, mixed output go into Erbe Verbe (with gates coming from Marbles) and output A goes into QPAS HP and then into MI Clouds.
To enhance the madness Landscape Stereo Field has also been recorded dry and effected with ++bubbler and ++pitchdelay, cause why not?

Smoke Filled Hallways To Hide Your Shame Provide Nothing But Darkness To Feed Suicidal Thoughts

Haunted//Unforgiven is an improvisation based track recorded with modular synths and Reaktor's sound generators, here presented as part of #Noisevember but recorded in October 2020

Haunted//Unforgiven

I've made this track out of pure love towards creating, jamming and being productive amidst an hectic week with little time to do much, I had to leave my modular synth unused for this one due to time restrictions and with the help of Hainbach's Fundamental I got inspired to some drone boxes action using Minimal Drone and 4 Steps Synth by Micheal Rucci and a Reon Driftbox S running through different pedals.
On top of that I added a little melody using Reaktor's Blocks and an additional drone with Reaktor.

Minimal Drone goes into Earthquaker's Life Pedal and Avalanche Run.
4 Steps Synth goes into Microcosm.
Reon Driftbox S got splitted with a path going into  EHX's Ravish Sitar and Earthquaker's Transmisser while the other path ran into EHX's Small Stone.

Unseen, Unheard, Unspoken

Misleading Information was recorded during one of those nights where everything has to be left behind and buried beneath layers of sounds in order to survive.
Misleading Information comes out of pain and it marches to a beat of a dead horse, leaving room to harshness and abrasive layered sounds.

Made with Lyra8 and Reaktor.

Misleading Information

BRTHRM is a experimental noise project started in 2018, cinematic noise drones from the dark side of the mind.
Here you can find a series of sound explorations and gear experimentation, head over to bandcamp to hear full releases and splits.

I also provide noises and screams in R-13, grain and glitches in La Décadence Des Étoiles, ambiance in FOTO and lengthy drones and cinematics in Horror Italiani.
