This is an example of something I've been working on. The use of Euclidean rhythms is largely considered a tool for creating drum and percussive grooves. I've created a hack in this case to generate triggers from Ableton's Rotating Rhythm Generator to create rhythmic note hits that are applied to random arpeggios. Not only does this create the effect of the non-repetitiveness of a musical soloist, but when you apply it to a few separate voices - in this case, three - Euclidean rhythms interact - so you get the effect that the "musicians" are playing off each other.

Happy Holidays! This is an exercise using Mutable Tides as a PLL clocked wavetable oscillator (baseline), and some more sample slicing using Ableton Push 2. Dedicating this one to the genius who created these amazing modules, Émilie Gillet of Mutable Instruments.

I'm a lab-rat. gear-head. Composer of sonic explorations. Seeker of tone and frequency. Patcher of modules. Twiddler of knobs. Bender of strings. Programmer of sequences. Lover of all things that oscillate, resonate and reverberate.

My main instrument is a Eurorack Modular synthesizer comprised of approximately 70 modules. My favourites include modules from Frap Tools Instruō, Intellijel, and Xaoc Devices. I use a 16-channel Line converter from nw2s to get modular signals into my DAW.
My main polysynths are an UDO Super6 and a Sequential Prophet Rev2.
Production tools are Bitwig with an Ableton Push 2, with two Universal Audio and Focusrite AD converters; and plugins from GForce/Oberheim, Waldorf, UAD, Valhalla DSP, Plugin Alliance, Eventide, Softube, and Roland.
I also compose with electric guitars and basses, Toontrack Superior Drummer, and various Brazilian samba percussion.
