Modular Tracks

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

A spacey wandering track based on an awesome patch from Omri Cohen. Bypass filters, probability delay, and some serious frequency/harmonic modulation towards the end will hopefully make you feel like floating through the cosmos.

Spookman Spiff

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

"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 🌊

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.

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.
