My Eurorack Modular Explorations

She's forgotten her car keys
And the flowers for her friends
They say she's a harpy
She is on her meds
'Cause you're holding onto someone who's special
Educating someone who's mental
Giving the fat pigs a facial
We all listen to death metal
Don't- Don't- Don't...
Don't play the track
Don't- Don't- Don't...
Don't play the track
She spends with her fucker
He's completely fixed
She's in with the rockers
But it's not to her taste
'Cause you're holding onto someone who's special
Educating someone who's mental
Giving the fat pigs a facial
We all listen to death metal
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
No one knows
Where she goes
No one knows
Where she goes
La la, La la, La...

that's a bit silly














The top is always ordinary

No.1 Ordinary

no more bad days (demo)

First test of my newly arrived Mutable Instruments Rings module. Rings is being processed by the MI Clouds module. Additional sounds from MI Elements. Rings and Elements are being "influenced" by the Make Noise Richter Wogglebug and sequenced by two Moog Mother-32s (no sounds are being used from the Mother-32s. No other sounds, effects or post-processing was done on this track.) Video version of this track found here - https://youtu.be/W3gc860ELs8


A Simple Beauty

A Simple Beauty - Mutable Instruments Rings First Test

This is a simple example of me manually playing my small Eurorack setup in a live improv session. I wanted to explore how I can play this as a self-contained instrument with no sequencers or external effects. I only wish I had two (or more) Make Noise Pressure Points in order to have more than 4 notes to play...

And speaking of Pressure Points, the top row of knobs/tunings is being sent to the Mutable Instruments Rings module (which is then going into the Mutable Instruments Clouds module) and the middle row of knobs/tunings is being sent to the Mutable Instruments Elements. So when I play a touchpad on the Pressure Points, it is sending two different tunings to the two Modules. If I had a third voice, I can send the bottom row a different tuning as well.

Robotto no tame no butō

Another live performance test, this time introducing the Mutable Instruments Braids module into the mix, along with Elements, Rings and Clouds. All modules being "influenced" by the Make Noise Richter Wogglebug. Played live in one take with no additional overdubs, external sounds or effects. Video version (with additional bonus part) found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7e9a5X_X_E

Mutable Instruments Braids + Elements + Rings + Clouds

Mutable Instruments Braids into Rings into Clouds. Make Noise Richter Wogglebug providing influence.

Untitled Random Ambient

This was just a quick, spur-of-the-moment test of my newly acquired, custom mirror-polished Radio Music module from Magpie Modular. I had just gotten home after an 8 hour day of work and a 3 and a half hour modular synth concert. I was tired... but inspired! Patch Notes: Radio Music into Mutable Instruments Elements, Braids into Rings then into Clouds. Make Noise Richter Wogglebug providing influence over Rings "Dampening" and "Position" and Clouds "Density" and "Size". Video version found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sI7pyyIq4M

A Brief Encounter...

New tests, sketches and experiments from my film scores and various band projects (under the names of genshi, jido-genshi, Science Patrol, StarDotStar, cell:burn, Seven Summer Eyes, and a few others) as well as an archive of old songs of mine from various decades.
