Saying GOOD-BYE to 2023. It's been a rough year for me, I do hope it's been better for you. Can't wait to see what 2024 will bring to the table ;)

Thanks for listening to my music in 2023. Peace.

The track illustration is supposed to represent the way Bloom, a fractal sequencer module is operating. I also used Mojave module from QU-Bit for the first time, I still can't tell exactly if I like it or not : it's pretty special and not so easy to use. Other instruments involved : Plaits, Ensemble oscillators, Arbhar, Hector, Fx AID as a reverb, Ripples, Hermod, Mimeophon, Data bender, Quad VCA.

Voice of my daughter recorded directly into Arbhar using the internal microphone.

2023

I have always found it interesting to understand what motivates artists to produce their works. Sometimes it's a simple coincidence that forces exploration and discovery, other times it's hard work. The reason I'm talking about this is that in the case of this track, the process had little to do with the result. Let me explain. A few days ago, one of the modules of my modular synthesizer broke down. I had to send it back for repair or exchange. When the module returned, I made it my mission to test it as soon as possible to ensure it was functioning properly. So, I reinstalled the module (Mojave) in my system and started experimenting from a stereo source. I then used an existing recording on my OP-1 to carry out my test. And that’s how I recycled this sound base to create a completely new piece. Sorry for sharing these considerations with you at such length, I hope you will enjoy the final result.
