one of the things i love about modular synthesizers is that when you turn them off and turn them back on again certain parameters have reset and you may be presented with something quite different than you last heard. today's sound is such a scenario. no re-patching was done from yesterday's sound but i adjusted and played a few parameters as i recorded. i stand by what i said about modular synthesis many years ago and that is that is the most organic and alive form of synthesis... it can really take on a life of its own.

starting simple. i'm very out of practice with the modular (one of the driving forces behind restarting the diary series). starting simple and stress free. here a self-playing loop with the 4MS SWN going through a make noise QPAS and strymon Magneto. baby steps.

Very happy to feature a special mix by @patriciawolf_music for the 20th Mirror Tapes podcast.

"In the past couple of weeks I have watched a few films by Éric Rohmer. First I watched Boyfriends and Girlfriends, then The Aviator’s Wife, and most recently Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle. These three films were made between 1981 and 1987 and stylistically feel very much like a product of their time, but also timeless in the sense of how humans navigate relationships. Through these films and many of his others, Rohmer continues the ancient tradition of telling moral tales and having proverbs play out in clever and comedic ways. I loved every moment of these films and can’t wait to dive deeper into his work. These films left an impression on me and in the days after I craved music that gave me the feeling of being in his film environments. This mix includes music that holds some of the same magic and energy for me. One interesting fact about the films of Rohmer is that he seldom includes extradiegetic music. He views the inclusion of off screen music as a violation of the fourth wall. While I do love soundtracks in films I respect and appreciate his perspective on this. His focus on dialogue and the ambient sounds of the locations is more than enough, but in the aftermath made me want to linger in music of a seemingly similar time and emotion. With this mix, I daydream a bit more about his films."
