Name: Beltway 2024 by Dr Berndt Hoffmann in Emergent Properties EP
Duration: 6 min 8 s
Description: Another 100% generative modular-synth patch (bar some Eventide Reverb), no human intervention.

Excellent production, as always my good Dr. :-)

very creative, very intensive, and an impressive atmosphere ... great variance and groovy pacing, too!

Very cool. Great stereo space. Good variety (Generative?).

I like to hear this fun exploration of the modular synth, thank you for this track unique in its kind!

"In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence is the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence

This EP is a compilation of largely self-generative works created using a Eurorack-format modular synth. The tracks "Focus Reset Scan", "Beltway 2024", and "Saturnide Tides" were entirely self-generative, with no human intervention during recording. Other tracks involved only minimal human intervention.

All tracks were recorded in one take, with no multi-tracking, editing, or external sequencing or processing, bar some reverb from an Eventide FX pedal on "Beltway 2024" and "Atomic Edgar".

The tracks were inspired partly by theories of artificial intelligence and how consciousness might emerge in unexpected places that are explored in Brian Christian's book "The Most Human Human": http://brchristian.com

Emergent Properties EP

Some molten modular-synth dub harnessing the fantastic subtleties (and not-so-subtleties) that arise from the interactions of some of my favourite modules: the Erthenvar Patch Chord, the Cwejman RES-4, the Tiptop Audio Z-DSP and the Harvestman Malgorithm MkII.

Saturnine Tides

100% eurorack modular synth-only, no external sequencing or processing.

Another 100% generative modular-synth patch (bar some Eventide Reverb), no human intervention.

Beltway 2024

I've been sitting on this for a while, half thinking it could form part of a project I'm working on, but have realised that it will work best as the second in a "Inner lives of construction droids" series that starts with "Atomic Edgar": https://soundcloud.com/drberndthoffmann/atomic-edgar 100% Eurorack modular synth, no external sequencing or processing. 


4D Krone MkV

I threw my computer out of the window and bought a modular synth because I wanted to do something real...
