This is about as simple a patch as can be made.

2 operators from the Humble Audio Quad Operator > Bard VTG (tube lpg), enveloped by CalSynth Changes (MI Stages). The envelopes are being triggered by Xaoc Devices Batumi II. The shape of the 2 operators are slowly being modulated by Triple Sloths. The v/Oct comes from the Bindubba, while the Ratio of the second operator is being modulated by a CV output from Stochaos (both via Quantermain). The output of the VTG > stereo matrix mixer.

This is being sent to the Olivia Arts Modular Time Machine for some fancy multi-tap echo, which is creating the rhythm of the patch. The Time Machine does most of the heavy lifting in the patch. The melody itself is rather sparse and pretty boring. The delay makes it interesting, especially with moderately high feedback. The delay output goes to the matrix mixer.

From there the delay goes to Panharmonium, set at Xfaded sines, -1 octave, a little blur and glide. It has a tap tempo that is roughly the same as the melody.

This is also sent to the Bizarre Jezabel Mimosa for some serious destruction that gradually comes in then fades away.

This is a demo of the improvisation algorithm I've developed. It will be implemented in a hardware sequencer for Eurorack called STATION sometime in 2020.

The track begins with an 8 bar arrangement played back deterministically. i.e. as I programmed it.

After a gap, you will hear the same 8 bar arrangement but played back for a few minutes with 50% improvisation.

It is fair to say that Mark Fell is one of Rotherham's most acclaimed musical exports. His work is steeped in the industrial overtones that define the region in the North of England that also includes nearby cities like Sheffield and bands like Human League and Cabaret Voltaire. In particular, this sound artist and producer focusses on fusing together fragments of experimental, minimal music that has political overtones and unsettling, out-of-context atmospheres. He's released albums on Raster-Notion and Editions Mego, is one half of SND and performs at only the most avant-garde of clubs and festivals. 

This week he serves up some brilliant darkness and carefully deconstructed rhythms that will shake your bones and your brain cells loose. Artists that deal in soot-black synth, electro and post-punk sounds like Human League, Florian Hecker and Depeche Mode all appear, but there are also masterful sidesteps into hip hop, disco, pop from David Guetta, and words from William Burroughs. All these sounds take on hugely different moods and meanings when put together as part of Fell's unique lexicon, and make it a mix full of brilliantly unexpected moments.
