“Broken Nature” is an experimental soundscape that blends the unpredictable, raw energy of the Volca Modular with the rhythmic textures of the Volca Sample and the TRACK 1
The track captures the essence of nature’s chaotic beauty, where moments of disarray seamlessly merge with organic harmony. 
The modular’s erratic pulses and the sample’s structured beats create a unique auditory experience that feels both wild and naturally cohesive.

This piece reflects the fragility of our profound nature, which is inherently good but can be pushed to its limits, leading us to act irrationally. 
“Broken Nature” symbolizes this delicate balance, portraying how the pressures of life can distort our natural state, yet still produce something uniquely beautiful and resonant.

Eclectic current – Pathways through the wasteland

poetic night

“Threshold” captures the unsettling moment of crossing into the unknown. Deep synth bass and a repeating 8-note motif create a sense of pulse and inevitability, like the hidden rhythm of a new world. Layers of atmospheric textures, subtle string stabs, and shifting distortion suggest both wonder and unease - the sound of stepping beyond familiar ground into a space where anything could exist. Rhythmic drum accents rise and fall like signals or warnings, while the evolving bassline drives the listener deeper into mystery. The track ends in a final surge of cosmic energy, leaving only silence - as if the door has closed behind you.

🎬 Perfect for: sci-fi films, trailers, game soundtracks, or any project exploring mystery, discovery, and alien worlds.
✨ Mood: unsettling · mysterious · futuristic · cinematic

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
