An end of year track built with Arturia Micro and Minifreak (with Walrus Audio Lore on Micro) and extracts from Scooter's amazingly deep performance here: https://soundcloud.com/scootermccrae/september-3rd-2022-modcan-1
Much love to all the musicians as we venture into a new year!

Left (1 Of 3) disquiet0636

Recorded two separate passes of the same patch on my Modcan modular synthesizer system (patch is in the photo) with various adjustments made to create some contrast.  Then I took the two audio files and slowed them down in Logic Pro, stretching them to more than twice their actual length and then adding so reverb to create a slowly evolving ambient wash of sounds.  Happy 2025 and thanks for listening!

Farewell To 2024

The analog 01B VCO has both its sawtooth and pulse outputs going into a 09B 3x1 Mixer, and from there into the 36B 4075 Low-Pass Filter.  The 54B CV Sequencer is getting powered by the 53B Clock interacting with the 20B Pulse Divider -- three of the differently divided outputs of which are going into the 56B Switch and then sent to the clock input of the Sequencer.  There's some additional note activity provided by the 55B Dual Quantizer (which is getting tickled by one of the outputs from the 61B Quad LFO).  The output of all of this gets pumped into the 30B Super Delay (including some subtle 38B Flanger in the feedback) which is also getting some LFO tickling in some of its parameters.  In addition to all of that, I'm also twisting and turning knobs to open the filter, change the clock speed and otherwise mess things up a little bit as everything goes chugging along.  Might be more of an experiment than a composition, but figured it was worth listening to and posting.

Eccentrically Electronic Modular Madness filtered through 30 years of intense listening and 20 years of trying to figure out what plugs into what without blowing up or setting things on fire.

The seemingly limitless manifestations that are observed during improvisational performance of electronic audiovisual materials drive me to seek collaborative interactions between compositional systems, machines, and myself. In holding space to facilitate an emergence of indeterminate phenomenon through analog synthesis, feedback systems, and field recordings, I share elements from multiple sources to celebrate shapes, patterns, and spaces.
​
I hold BAs in Art and English from Andrews University, and am currently enrolled in the Electronic Integrated Arts MFA at Alfred University. I was an artist in residency in 2017 at Signal Culture in Owego New York and in 2015 at Sachaqa Centro De ARTE, San Roque Peru. My visual works, and live electronic improvisational performances, have been featured across Peru, at The MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, and throughout the Midwest of America.
 
Note: Much of the work here is subtle in nature and I encourage you to listen via headphones or using a decent system whenever possible. Most computer speakers will not reveal the tracks fully.  Unless otherwise noted in the track description, everything is recorded direct to stereo track live and on the fly with no overdubs. Thanks for stopping by and listening!
