This playlist is a collection of my favoured recordings.  All tracks have been created following taking Sarah Belle Reid's online Learning Sound and Synthesis course in early 2021 that cemented my interest in modular synthesis and the follow up From Patch to Polished course I took in Spring 2022.  Most tracks are performances of improvised compositions recorded in real time to two track stereo, some have been arranged and mixed in Ableton Live.  Any mastering has been done in Sound Forge.  Its up to you whether you love or hate what you hear, I make no claims to be a good musician.  But the best art should polarise your view one way or the other, the worst art is that which does nothing for you - elevator music perhaps?

Love It OR Hate It That's Up To You

Chaos Beat

New Dawn II

These tracks are various live experiments with a modular system based around either a After Later Audio Benjolin V2 or Make Noise Telharmonic as the main sound source.  They are purely demos inspired by the synth course I have taken.  I use SoundCloud so that other course participants can listen.

Ambient I

Benjolin And The Flies V

Benjolin And The Flies VII

My first live improvised Benjolin composition recorded whilst on holiday on a farm in Aug 2021.  Created on an 84hp modular case.

Benjolin On The Farm 1

I am a retiree who has caught the modular synthesiser bug.  The tracks I upload whether experiments or finished tracks are inspired from taking the Sarah Belle Reid "Learning Sound and Synthesis" and "From Patch To Polished" courses over 2020-2022 that have opened my ears to alternative approaches to composition, sound and music.  I am not a traditional musician but an electronic musician and describe my work as electronic sound art.
