Sound examples from the interactive music installation MutaSynth by Palle Dahlstedt, which lets users interactively evolve new music. This installation later led to the Patch Mutator in the Nord Modular G2 synthesizer.

Live performance at Galleri Ljudverket and the event called årsstämman in Gothenburg 2020. The piece was originally performed in quadraphonic sound, this is a stereo rendition.
Thanks Anna Roxenholt for letting me use your secret recording of the ladies by the sea. Artwork by Anders Olofsson

Live @Ljudverket, September2020

Early industrial music was always an influence for me. It was noisy, but had structure anyway. Here is an attempt at producing something like this with my Octatrack and a Typhon Dreadbox. It should be almost impossible to listen to for any normal people. But fun!

This time exploring both the Synth and Drum machine sides of the instrument on a lazy Sunday... The Pulsar 23 has been meeting my expectations and from now on I'll work on marrying it w/ other sources.
Pulsar 23 is obviously much more than a DM thanx to its semi-modular structure consisting of 23 independent modules. Allowing synthesis of percussion instruments and rhythms, bass and melodic lines, effects and sound landscapes, as well as a source of control voltage and powerful analog FX processor. 
Above all it offers live circuit bending capabilities and the use of the artist’s body conductivity + Alligator clipping bars to create patches and cross modulations. 
This is my 5th day using it and it is obvious that it is pure joy to play... A simple patch using 4 voices and body conductivity, electricity right at my hands.
