PROPHET 5

The first time I heard Emily Sprague’s music was on lines. Somebody posted a video of hers, 'Three Sisters + Harmonic Oscillator', that had captured their attention as a high watermark...and it’s easy to understand how. The straightforward and earnest exploration of a beautiful module, through a looped melody you could listen to for hours, seemed the work of a seasoned pro. Somebody else commented, revealing that the synthesist was Emily Sprague from the band Florist. While they brought up that Emily had just started working with modular synths in the last year, digging deeper revealed that the video was actually made in her second week.

Beyond the quality of her music, which has only swelled over the last year, what’s fascinating about Emily’s work is how public her process has been. While most whittle away for months, releasing new work only after long incubation, Emily seems to revel in sharing each step of her growth in realtime — a direct response to the trajectory of her own self-education.

If you’re new to modular synthesis, this is the episode for you. If you’re deeply settled, this is the episode for you. Emily has retained a beginner’s mind while leveraging her rich decade-long background as a musician, producer and engineer to create music that is playful and emotional, while remaining technically impressive.

As you’ll notice, there are more music breaks in this episode than previous ones — due to my own fandom and Emily’s generosity, you’re the first to hear the demos that will make up her much-anticipated modular album.

Beyond her talents, Emily is an insightful and passionate addition to the lines community and personally, I hope that her reflections help anyone who feels that their voice is un or under-represented in this field to join the conversation at llllllll.co

Bus Ride

15 people in one room
225 ways of connecting 

our way isn’t the best
our way will not be the best
our way will not be the worst

my fear exists has a shadow of my curiosity

i recognize my need for freedom
i recognize i want you free

i believe union can handle everyone’s freedoms


the simple is embraced by the unique and we’re admiring it

the complex is embraced by us and we’re exhausting it


but simply and peculiarly is how want blue


from a whole world, to this whole magnitude
but not the world, not all the magnitude

the endless chaos has an end #1

I like songs and I like improvised music.
I like spaces and shapes.
I like Charlie Haden and I like Arvo Part.
I like to see love and beauty in things.
