009 Bow Out

"Thinks of things you consider unbreakable rules when you make music" ... pretty much without fail, pitch cv goes through a quantiser; and pretty much without fail, there's some regular tempo or timekeeping... so skipping both these rules for this krell patch.

Entry to Deluge Discord challenge August 2024. Theme alien communications.

An approximation of a krell-style patch on the Deluge, with some manual sequencing enabling different intervals as the song progresses, and manual filter automation.

A lazy afternoon with the Krell. By Western music standards, this may just be noise. But the Krell call it a banger.

Down the Rabbit Hole - An experimental ambient piece in C minor

Down The Rabbit Hole

Bewildered was created on 28 November 2025 using a selection of Eurorack modules. The piece grew out of an experiment with a Krell patch—its self-generating, wandering behaviour became the seed for a slowly unfolding ambient landscape.

The track begins as a calm, drifting atmosphere, built from evolving tones and subtle modulations. Midway through, the structure loosens and momentarily falls apart, as if losing its center of gravity. Textures scatter, melodies dissolve, and the patch seems to unravel under its own autonomy.

Yet, out of this disarray, the elements gradually find each other again. The closing section gathers the fragments into a gentle, reflective resolution, letting the piece settle back into a soothing stillness.
