One Thursday Afternoon (Rough Cut)

Excerpt from Wonderjams Goa '22. Live jam with Shoomb using mix of modular and Ableton.

Shoombufo - Raphiki (Live Jam)

Modular techno practice summoned by the arrival of the Cosmix Pro Mixer. 
The track is fully improvised and composed live on a modular setup. 
Kick: Basimilus Iteritas Alter 
Bass: Banshee Reach 
Lead and FX: QPAS pings 
Snare: Plaits 
Hats: WMD Crucible 
Qubit Nautilus on the delay

Quarter Crisis Oasis

Another techno practice on the modular rig with a new faux 9U rack using two cases and Neutron added to the setup for some lead fx duties. This time using the Maths to its full potential, sending an envelope for the bass and side-chaining it to the kick from Basimilus.

Released on Cities and Memory - Music for Sleep Project*

The composition takes a departure from traditional musical structures, embracing the realm of abstract and free-form musical experience. At its core lies the new granular engine of the Microfreak Synthesizer, which ignited a sonic adventure of inspiration. The piece is comprised of two live recordings. The first part is a tranquil drone-focused jam, with embedded elements from the field recording that came through the Microfreak, creating a soothing undercurrent with the sound of peeper frogs from the field recording by Anton Pickard. In contrast, the second part introduces a whirlwind of bioelectric glitching sounds, symbolizing the interplay of thoughts during sleep. The two contrasting parts are harmonized to reflect the duality of the sleep experience. The composition offers an immersive journey into the unpredictability of sleep. It's a unique interpretation of music for sleep, inviting listeners to embrace the night guided by the transformative power of sound exploration within the composition.
