A, short, weird and mysterious track. These sounds are all  made with the Arturia MiniBrute, which is a great synthesizer ! Recordings of a bunch of clips/loops were made a few months ago, but later on I decided to make a track of it.

Electronic Exploration 002

Having fun with the Makenoise Erbe Verb module, fed with sound from Grains through Optomix. Coulds is also adding some sound layering. Frames takes care of the track structure.

Earplugs advised ? ;-)

Electronic Exploration 009 - Benjolin and Elements

enjolin and a bunch of LFO's modulating Furthrrrr Generator, output controlled by Optomix. FX by Rainmaker and Erbe-Verb taking the sonic madness furthrrrr. Little compression and EQ done in Ableton live.

Electronic Exploration 010 - Furthrrrr Benjolin Madness

Furthrrrr Generator providing the sound, pitch done manually through quantized Rene. Carrier VCO frequency modulated by modulator VCO in clocked sample & hold mode. Maths clocked by Octocontroller and 4MS RCD doing slow envelopes to RYO 3xVCA. Sound going through Rainmaker and Erbe-Verb, slowly lifting it into space. A bunch of LFO's giving a subtle modulation to Rainmaker, Erbe, and the Generator in various ways. Little compression done in Ableton Live.

Furthrrrr drone

I like to fiddle around with synthesizers, sequencers and Ableton Live. Most of the tracks have the word 'Exploration' in it, and that's what it is. I'm experimenting with a musical style, a piece of equipment, musical software or plugins, a technique or just being creative. Don't know if you like the music, but I'm having fun and I am learning !
