This is an album of songs and moods and even a story. I recommend it. It was mostly made using  VCV Rack, with Audacity for editing and Bitwig Studio on a couple of the tracks. I wrote a lot of music in the early 2000s and this is my return to making music. I hope you enjoy it.

Looking For Glass by Siegfried Jünger

Ventriloquism

Sunshine Set

My latest modular creation. My wife says it sounds like it could be the opening theme for a new FX series. Really, I wanted to play with the chord module,  the formants module, and get better at sequencing. And make a distorted synthtar. It was too much to run in a single patch, so I had to mix the parts down and play the samples in sync to the synthtar patch.

Retrowave

A Sunday project, folding you in and enveloping you in modular sounds. This patch was nearly too complex for my computer to play. Which is odd, since it's a just a bit of whimsy.

Enveloper

I've been working on building the instruments that make up this track in VCV Rack for a week. Recording samples, assembling the samples into the music track. I wrote and recorded the script and then back into VCV Rack to perform the voice samples and mix it.

In fond remembrance of Don Joyce, sound collage and spoken word artist.

Dreaming

This started out with me playing Kalimba and making a wind chime in VCV. Then I went a little off the deep end, using the Spectral Madness mode of Texture Synthesizer and turned my wind chime into a cosmic storm.

Dark Matter Storm

An ambient track driven by randomness and chord changes. I took a few lessons from Omri Cohen's latest tutorial on Plaits, but used a different approach, plus mixed in a string-like pad I'd been using to work out some chord changes. I really like the re-win quantizer with it's four channels and support for scenes. I've also taken to using the cf mixers with envelopes and gates to control the gain.

And go watch Omri make something nice out of the most annoyingly harsh sounding model of Plaits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJgLd.... You can see the lessons I took from that tutorial to make this patch, and watch the VCV master at work.

C-Beams

Hey, I just bought Bitwig Studio and made my first song. It's a proper DAW and I'm figuring out the workflow and metaphors it uses. I used to use FL Studio, but they don't make that for Linux. 

I really love The Grid, their modular implementation. Its really basic parts but it's well implemented and given all the other features, it's pretty easy to make nice sounding voices and FX with it.

I love modular and VCV, but I need something I can write songs with chords and automation and a workflow for production and Bitwig is solid and stable.

Fields at Sunset

I've been making music my whole life. I made some albums 20 years ago and have returned to it in the last three years. I do it largely for myself, but I hope you find it enjoyable as well.
