Natural sounds for a out-of-this-world beat, very nice

Five Modular Etudes

1. Reich, Riley & Townsend Mini Storage
2. Deckard's Vacation Modular
3. 2 Fast 2 Danz
4. (D) Press On (2)
5. Man Eye Zeke

Each of these modular synth studies were conceived to explore a small Eurorack system, as well as compose a set of short works that used as many of the modules as possible in one live setting at a time.

Each piece is recorded from a live performance with no overdubs, and then only modified with a 'house/ambient' reverb and some small mastering EQ.  All dynamics, motion, pitch and harmonic content were derived through CV or human knob-twisting, and all sounds (minus the recording of church bells) were made using this Eurorack system.

An interesting challenge!

Disquiet Junto Project 0349: Got Glitch?
The Assignment: Help define “glitch” by glitching something, and explaining what you did.

In my opinion what separates glitch from other sorts of noise used in music is that it's created by accidental or forced errors of computation.

There's a wonderful "Stutter Mode" built into Sandrine Sims' Reflex Liveloop sampler. It's based on an older sampler she built where she accidentally shorted an address pin, and the mode essentially scrambles the binary addressing system of the module. She describes the behavior in the original manual: 

"A binary number produced by the knobs is laid onto the sampler's pointer in memory. This will cause some locations to repeat, depending on what the binary weight is, large or small loops will occur."

I used this as the basis for glitching this song. The original sounds are composed on a sampler and polysynth. I set the Liveloop to record into a long buffer, around 1 minute, and feedback on itself so errors are layering atop errors. After letting the errors build upon each other for several cycles I started recording the performance. Each channel of the module is set to stutter differently, creating two opposing but related rhythms, and each is fed into a different filter and then mixed back in with its own dry signal. In order to blend the channels together I ran them through a Mid-Side encoder.

I downloaded bimini road's patch titled "Podular Modcast" and patched it up on my own modular and made a remix/repatch, depending on how you look at it.
