Lateral Movement

Only four tracks at work here. Again Subharmonicon does the chord progression and sequences the note changes on DFAM (bells). DFAM gets a touch of analog delay (XAOC Sarajewo), and everything is spread out in space and time via Strymon Starlab. As always everything was recorded simultaneously, no overdubs.

Quicksand

Lead voice patch notes:
I dialed in a 16 step sequence on my NLC Bindubba, made it a 32 step sequence working the direction inputs with clocked gates. The sequence is fed through Beers ADC into Beers Melakarta making it a sudo pitch quantizer. Pitch-CV is sent to Befaco Even VCO. Even VCO feeds into a modulated Erica Synths BBD Delay/Flanger and then into Erica Synths Polivoks filter. Melakarta's gate outs are fed through Beers Edge Detector, into Sin Phi Miasma (envelope generator) to open the Polivoks filter, at the same time the other Miasma channel is feeding a ducking envelope closing the filter with every kick drum hit. A copy of this voice is fed into XAOC Sarajewo BBD delay. Aside from this last module, all other modules used are self-built DIY versions.

Signal To Noise

Moog Subharmonicon (chords) & DFAM (bells) with my DIY Minimoog clone (bass), all run through an Alesis Quadraverb – and some more FX in post.

Slumber

Moog Subharmonicon through a two channel voltage controlled filter bank (Sonum by Toil Modular).

Drifting On Sundown

Played a vintage, GDR era, analog string synth (Vermona Piano-Strings) with some keys taped down to free my hands. Sent it through a filter bank emphasizing the vocal formants and then into a legendary phaser pedal with wooden cheeks. Accompanied by Moog Subharmonicon and a simple bass patch on the modular synth.

Airborne

Moog Subharmonicon playing the chords and arpeggio. A different mix of the sub oscillators fed through a separate filter forming the bass.

Winter Is Coming

A sequential switch rotates through four different wave outputs of four oscillators to build the arpeggio. The chords panned hard left and right are played by Instruō Saïch, sequenced with a DIY Voxmachina Leo Leo Matrix Programmer. The bass pad is made with my DIY minimoog clone.

Thaw

My fav trio at work: DFAM and Subharmonicon doing all the chord and pad lifting and sequencing while DIY Minimoog fills in the bass.

Shiver

And again my favorite trio is at work here: Subharmonicon laying down the chords, DFAM playing the arpeggios above and DIX Minimoog doing the bass groundwork.

Fever Dream

Earlier this year my friend Atik Yomin  (@othiqivmin) „challenged“ me to write an album consisting of tracks in odd meters only after listening to my track ‚Trickle’ which is written in 5/4.

Then in early September I got my hands on a decent trigger sequencer by Doepfer (Thanks to @synthetic-arts !) and to test it in depth together with my crazy Bigger Dumber Sequencer by Beers, I pretty much immediately started this odd times project, and three weeks later finished it. Believe me, I had a blast! 

First up, as always, is the last track I made. It comes in 8/8 – counting 123 123 12 – and in the end it comes back 'into balance', landing on a straight four on the floor rhythm.

Counterbalance

After listening to my track ‚Trickle’ which was written in 5/4 earlier this year, my friend Atik Yomin  (@othiqivmin) „challenged“ me to write an album consisting of tracks in odd meters only. Challenge accepted. This piece comes in ..., well, can you figure it out?
