Third installment in the MUSICFORSOLDERING series. I intended these pieces to be dark ambient-ish music for study or relaxed concentration, in my case, music to listen to while soldering together synth modules. The problem is, any time you are playing the Lyra-8, you have to understand, that no matter how much experience you have with the instrument, you aren't 100% in control. The Lyra is a collaborator in the process, and therefore it has a say in how a track unfolds. In this case, the Lyra wanted something a little more aggressive than I had in mind, but for the most part, although borderline for sure, I think it still may fit with the general theme that I am after. I'll let you decide.

GASGIANTS - DIODES

The new album by William Elliott's GASGIANTS alias is out now and available as a short run cassette edition on Bandcamp! If you have been following me this year, you may recognize some of these songs  from earlier mixes posted here under different song titles. I renamed some of them to fit the synth soldering theme, so each track is named after a common component or chip that goes into the making  of a typical analog synthesizer module.

William Elliott makes experimental synthesizer-based music under a number of aliases, including Phantom Oscillator, GASGIANTS, Interferenzmaschine, and Occam's Raygun. His uncompromising improvisational style has led him to embrace hardware synths such as the iconic Soma Laboratory Lyra-8 and Eurorack modular synths among others.
