Modular Demos

Live modular synth jam recorded on VCV rack. Levels all over the place and the clock gets out of sync and reset a few times, but hey, that’s showbiz baby.

MagicSchoolBus Demo

Live recorded moody little modular track with some fun freaky little squeaks. All done on VCV rack with some midi strings added in for some extra vibes.

MoodularMonday

A wavy mood piece set with summer in mind

BellaStagioneDemo

A mix of two wandering track ideas that meet somewhere in the middle. Live recording of a modular patch in VCVRack.
Seascape by Phil Darst, w/ edits by me.

Dreamliner

Extended version with longer runout and a scintillating synth voice. Live recording on VCVRack.

Spookman Spiff Extended Mix

A nice happy go lucky track inspired by the massively uplifting and groovy vibes of Bella Boo's recent set in Portland, OR.

BugaBooDemo.4

"I no longer thought of waves being carved in celestial workshops. I was getting more hardheaded. Now I knew they originated in distant storms, which moved, as it were, upon the face of the deep."
----
Discovered what I'm calling the secret groove where you duck the attack of a running VCO with an inverted wavetable, while simultaneously bumping the sustain and release of the envelope with another wave in the opposite direction. You're left with a chaotic groove that is as tough to dial in as I imagine carving celestial swells in the workshop of the deep.

Recorded in a fully modular setup in VCV Rack, with some final chopping in GarageBand.
Made the cover myself on this one because it felt special 🌊

Onde

My best take at reproducing an uptempo version of Mac Miller's/Thundercat's "What's the Use" Tiny Desk concert. I've heard a live version like this spun twice by artists I deeply respect, but cannot find the track anywhere. Uploading this only so I (and you!) can finally listen to it out and about and relive the magic.

What's The Cat Bootleg

Promo soundtrack for Bowerman Track Club's brand new track spike. I modulated the tempo and playback of a thunderstorm audio with a wavetable LFO all on top of a thick drone sound with some added electric buzzes and pops. I recorded a slightly longer version here.

Dragonfly Drone

A fun chaotic idea I've been sitting on for awhile. First half of the track recorded on a live VCV rack patch using my trackpad as a fun modulator of the cutoff for the main lead. Borrowed a lovely reading of Marjorie Allen Seiffert's poem, "They Who Dance," seeing as it captures the euphoric energy of dancing on "infinite golden floors" beneath your feet.
The Antonio Canova piece of the Phaeacian princes is 100% me and the homies on the dancefloor. As the onlookers gape in shock and awe, the piece has always resonated with me deeply.

TheyWhoDanceDemo

A snippet from a techno patch I’m working on, heavily featuring Erica Synths’ Black Wavetable VCO. In this demo I surf through the VC bank over the top of a larger sub techno patch, exploring the full deep goodness of the double sub oscillator outputs. One of my favorite and most versatile VCO’s I’ve ever used.
Hope to build this into an actual track someday with a bit more musicality and pacing.
All recorded live on VCV Rack 2. Shout out Omri Cohen for the kick delay sound design.

Tknopatch.1.demo

A reflip of an earlier techno patch I developed in VCV Rack featuring Erica Synths' Black Wavetable VCO presets. This patch was truly a happy accident when I accidentally flipped on the XX model of Vult's Tangents filter which caused my leading oscillator to start squalling like an electric house cat. Everything was recorded live in VCV rack, with some chopping and EQ-ing in Garageband. There is some light sampling of Northwestern bird calls that is LFO pitch modulated and delayed. I added this late due to finding some baby birds in my backyard yesterday and felt inspired 😌
