Eurorack Modular Synth

This is only a small choice of all the brilliant music found on Soundcloud! These are pieces i really have come to love among a huge choice of brilliant music out there...i tried hard to limit this one to, lets say, 20 .....so much for that one! Please check out all the other music i slapped likes on and if you like the stuff, let the awesome musicians know! Let's see what i find in 2015! Peace, Reinhard
P.S. And, oh yes, while it is very nice of you to slap a like on this list it is way more important to "like" the individual tracks as valuable feedback for the creators of this amazing music! Now, go on, dig and enjoy! 


Inspiring the weird mechanic in 2013 and 2014. What made the machine dance!

interesting tones

Doepfer 2

This is a one take live performance of a new track made entirely with DaveSmithInstruments Tempest analog drum machine. Recorded with Cockos Reaper in one take. Only slight compression and EQ added with MOTU Ultralite mk3 as well as a little bit of reverb. No other treatment was made. Just RAW Tempest sound. 
Also all sounds designed from scratch. 
Comments are as always are very welcome.

Ne-Tek - Some Madness For Your Ears (work in progress)

Estudo 1 Para Doepfer (Alexandre Ramos)

For this track I wanted to try using the Korg Volca Keys as a sequencer for my Juno-106. “How is that possible?!?,” you might ask. Well I’ll tell you how. I have modded the Volca Keys to include a MIDI out port. Using this mod I sent the MIDI out from the Volca Keys to the Juno-106. Both synths played the same sequence, but because the Volca Keys is polyphonic the Juno-106 consistently played chords, while I switched modes on the Volca Keys between poly, unison, and fifths, etc. I fleshed out the piece by adding an arp provided by the Bass Station II and a bass line from the Tempest.

"The Great March" Live Analog Jam Session by e-tiefengrund

A remix of an old track called "Specimen Acquisition" https://soundcloud.com/drberndthoffmann/specimen-acquisition using mainly the Qubit Electronix Nebulae, Cwejman Res-4, The Harvestman Malgorithm II and Eventide Space. Bit of a mess, but I enjoyed making it...

Crab Nebula

Music by Billy Faithfull. Words: "Whalesong" by Sophie Stephenson-Wright.
Saw this poem on the Tube in London (part of the Poems on The Underground program) and couldn't get it out my head for about a year, so I've finally got it out my head and into a piece of music. I've edited it a bit to fit my purposes.

NB. I have no intention on infringing the rights of the poet, only been inspired by some incredible writing. If I get a release, I would ensure that the rights are legally secured and paid for.


I DREAM KING [OUT NOW ON ENIG'MATIK RECORDS]

Kerplunkerous

First (moderately) successful self-generating patch in absolutely ages... All Eurorack modular synth, no external sequencing or processing. 

Axion Sled

The Scene on Saint Marc is a piece is based on the street activity outside my window, in three movements. The first movement, “Animals”, examines the movement of people and their interactions with one another. “Storm”, the second movement, reminds the listener of the experience of rain hitting the fabric of umbrellas and rain jackets. The third and final movement, “Night”, submerges an old Victorian-style neighborhood into the atmosphere of cheap bars, dimly lit streets, and a thoroughfare to a highway overpass. The piece ends with night surrendering itself to sleep.

Kometenregen

I patched this up with my baby daughter strapped to my breast, sleeping. When I recorded the Rhodes parts, she sat next to me and banged the keys. My wife supplied the the countermelody in the middle. Its a family song.

Song of the Sea

Doepfer Dark Energy II plays three melodies coming from Buddha Orchestra.

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