Patate le mage : Modular Synth
Only three Modules for this drone :
One source : Ensemble Oscillator from 4ms
One effect : Chowder delay on E520 from synthesis Technology
One control module : Sweet sixteen from Tesseract
A little bit of reverb in post production.

The E370 firmware 1.3 update provides new detune functionality allowing the user to manually detune each oscillator when in chord mode. It also includes a ROM4 table, "Harmonic" with embedded microtones represented by decimal offsets.

The piece opens (and closes) with a manually detuned (i.e. set by knobs) chord using notes selected from one line of a custom table of open octaves and fifths . A clocked Pressure points generates a pattern of 4 rapidly moving transpositions of this chord(the first is audible around :15) The first half is built around several pitch, timbral & rhythm variations of this pattern interacting with each other and various high & low speed FM manipulations via the cv-x1 input, reassigned as an FM source in the 'Frequencies' page. This later includes rotating the chord table  as each PP transposition occurs , generating new frequencies. One of these patterns is executed in the E370's 'Cloud mode.' Some parts are treated with the E560 Deflector Shield in 'phase' mode.

The second half (2:45) focuses on various manual pitch modulations provided by the Doepfer A-185-2 to the 1v input of the oscillator1 in chord mode, based on the 'Harmonic Table' in Rom4. One of the responding modulations is routed thru a E580 delay to provide a 'far-away' echo feeling.

Generally stuck with simple SINE and TRI waveforms as I knew polyphony and FM modulation would add substantial harmonic complexity.

A dream like series of events, which might be projected by something like the antique projector illustrated here, might in more modern times be accompanied be a soundtrack like this. 

This is a culmination of a series of experiments involving one E300 and an E370 applying myriad techniques, FM, FM and SYNC, FM with sample & hold applied to the FM modulator (this generates a 'liquid' bubbly tone) to generate the bulk of the material. I used E580 Delay/QuadVCA combo to generate long feedback tracks. The E580 was also used on many fragments to "vintage" the tone of some material to get the sound of early classic tape music. The rhythmic figure representing the 'corridor' or wormhole in the second half was made by a clock opening a QuadVCA to allow an FM modular to be rhythmically 'injected' into an FM input. A Kamieniec in self resonating mode also supplies some sonic drama in the second half.

Phantasmagoria

Ich bin nicht

Je n'suis pas ta poivrière 
Quand ton plat n'est pas relevé
Je n'suis pas ta sablière
Quand ton temps peine à s'écouler
Je n'suis pas tes étagères
Où ton inculture est rangée
Et je n'suis pas ta chimère
Que tu ne cesses de fantasmer

Je n'suis pas ta secrétaire
Qui viendrait prendre ta dictée
Je n'suis pas ton infirmière
Qui sera là pour te soigner
Je n'suis pas ta grabataire
Que tu attendrais d'enterrer
Je n'suis pas ta douce mère
Qui a jamais t'as condamné

Ich bin nicht, also, denke ich nicht
Ich bin nicht, also, denke ich nicht

--- denke ich nicht ---

Je n'suis pas dans tes prières
Celle que tu crois adorer
Je n'suis pas ton écolière
Qui viendrait quêter son brevet
Je n'suis pas ta couturière
Quand ton bonheur est déchiré
Et j'n'suis pas ta banquière
Qui te délivre ta monnaie

Ich bin nicht, also, denke ich nicht
Ich bin nicht, also, denke ich nicht
Ich bin nicht, also, denke ich nicht
Ich bin nicht, also, denke ich nicht
