Once again, this patch started with the Moog Subharmonicon and ended without it. Too much trouble integrating correctly the polyrhythmic sequencer (I'll probably try again very soon). Then Marbles generated this 16 notes sequence that inspired me. I tried by using Rings as a resonator through a overdrive guitar pedal to give a very organic feel to the sound. The title of the track is inspired by a famous sci-fi movie. 

Patch notes for "Temporal Paradox" 04/19/2021 °°°

° Marbles brain of this track. Clocked from Hermod, generating rhythm and melody (t3 and X3), Y as a LFO for Arbhar
° Hermod master clock, exporting Gate clock for Marbles, modulating V/OCT of Ripples
° Tides receiving trig from Marbles, generating envelope for Plaits and Rings (STRUM)
° Rings 1 V/OCT from Marbles, STRUM from Tides, exporting audio on ODD to Links for 2 outputs (Beads and Arbhar)
° Beads receiving audio from Rings 1 on L channel (from Links) exporting audio L and R to the mixer, Dry/Wet and Reverb amount adjusted on the fly during the track
° Ripples filtering in low-pass mode both plaits outputs, FREQUENCY is modulated by Hermod LFO and range is adjusted to taste during the recording, Reso(nance) is pushed to 1’o’clock. Output is attenuated then going to Pico DSP in saturated reverb mode 
° Rings 2 V/OCT from Marbles, in resonator mode, IN(put) coming from ° Ears, ODD (output) attenuated and going to external effects and mixer : overdrive Fulltone OCD and then in Strymon BlueSky reverb,  Mackie 1202-VLZ3
° Pico DSP creating stereo sound from Ripples in saturated reverb mode, output is going to the Erica Synth Black Stereo mixer
° Arbhar used as background granular texture, 4 pre-recorded layers from Rings 1 at different « SPREAD » levels of Marbles, SCAN is modulated by Marbles Y LFO, SPRAY, INTENSITY and LENGHT are adjusted manually to taste during the recording
° Links is grouping both output of Plaits in one and Duplicating ODD output from Rings 1
° Externally mixed on Mackie 1202-VLZ3. Recorded and mastered in Ableton Live.

Recorded in Oléron Island, south west France

Temporal Paradox

Let's dive into the ocean, without a single movement, deeper and deeper until the light is rare. Sinking, surrounded by the glowing jellyfish dancing around me.


Patch notes « Glowing jellyfish dance» 10/05/2021 °°°

° Hermod generating clock for Marbles, modulating with 2 LFOs Ripples Frequency and resonance.
° Marbles generating trigs for Rings 1 and 2 and Tides. Creating fixed melody for Rings 1 & 2 and Plaits. Length at 8.
° Rings 1, polyphony on 4 notes, modal resonator mode, main output split into Strymon El Capistan and Clouds.
° Clouds generating some stereo down pitched delay from Rings 1 main output.
° Rings 1, polyphony on 4 notes, modal resonator mode, main output into Ripples.
° Ripples frequency and resonance modulated by Hermod, low pass mode, attenuated output into Pico DSP in stereo delay. Frequency adjusted manually during the recording
° Pico DSP in stereo delay mode, output directly into the mixer
° Tides receiving trigs from Marbles, generating the envelope for Plaits.
° Utopia adjusting CV level from Marbles to Plaits.
° Plaits generating the deep bass sound and melody. Two operator FM mode. Main output directly into the mixer
° Beads playing the guitar part in freeze mode. Recording mode set to Cold Digital. Time parameter is randomized internally. Size, shape and intensity are adjusted during the recording. All wet signal, reverb pushed to 3.30pm
° Gibson ES 330 played into Beads through Strymon Flint.
° Externally mixed on Mackie 1202-VLZ3. Recorded and mastered in Ableton Live.

This song is what ever but the cool thing is every single sound you hear was made with the Hertz Donut module. Every drum, every synth sound. Everything! The only sound source i used to generate sound was the hertz Donut. I wanted to challenge myself and show how versatile this great module is. I just over dubbed one sound at a time until i had a track. I then added some fx and compression to make it not too boring. Cheers!
