Music by Palle Dahlstedt, composed and performed with modular synths. Most of these tracks are "studio live" recordings of solo performances, with no overdubs.

Palle Dahlstedt - Modulisme

A patching excercise on a modular synth, and at the same time a part of a study of creative process and the interaction between the musician and his tools. The creative process behind this little piece was carefully documented, with thoughts and motivations for a large number of decisions written down just after the recording.

nonFulminant

Experimenting with iterated folding functions to generate deterministic chaotic sequences, synthesized with thru-zero frequency modulation in a Frap Tools Brenso complex oscillator. Studio live recording from 2022-06-17.

Iterated Folding Through Zero

Some tests of a new Bugbrand synth. Only external equipment used is a Hinton Trimmer & SwitchMix matrix summer for routing. Control and sound generated in Bugbrand prototype. No overdubs, but a few edits. No mastering or postprocessing, no fx.

Green Prototype Matrixed 2

Green Prototype Matrixed 1

Tube drum synth Metasonix D-2000 as sound source, driven by a quartet of Serge VCS, processed through two each of Bugbrand PT Delay and Spring Tanker.

Live stereo recording, no edits or overdubs.
