Background Music

Radiophonic Sketch #1

My first performance at Dorchester Art Project, using my Eurorack modular synth.

- The drums were Plaits into Terci Ruina, sequenced by a Korg SQ-1.
- The lead sound was a PGH Waveforms sent through a Manhattan Analog MA35 filter, modulated by a PGH Envelope, played on an Arturia Keystep.
- The plucky/fluety accompaniment part is randomly generated, using an SSF Ultra Random Analog run through an Intellijel Scales quantizer, using an ALM O/A/x2 to limit the range.  The sound was the other PGH Waveforms, run through the PGH Filter and VCA, modulated by the PGH ADSR.
- The white noise was the noise from the PGH Toolbox run through the PGH VCA.
- Effects were Disting stereo reverb, with Disting tape delay patched between the left/right channels (for reverb -> delay -> reverb, with a bit of bleed), and a Tall Dog Electronics uClouds for the final touch before going to the PGH Outs module.
- I used a Batumi for LFO duties (vibrato, PWM, and fading the white noise), and a Bubblesound Mix6 to submix the drums.  The PGH Mixer was used to mix all the parts before running them through effects.

I performed at Drone Day 2019 at Artisan's Asylum last year.  This year, I cobbled together a streaming setup and did my first 40-minute-long set live on Facebook, complete with multiple cameras and lighting.  Okay, so they were webcams and Philips Hue, but it was quite fun!
