Monotron mods x2 tech experiment

At the end of taking Sarah Belle Reid’s From Patch to Polished course in 2022 we had a listening party for our work.  I created a composition based on the approach she had taught us and dedicated the track to her calling it “All DAW for SBR”.

A number of us through Zoom have stayed in regular contact and we thought it would be fun to have another listening party to celebrate the course starting a year ago.  I decided to create a sequel “All DAW for SBR II”.

I would describe the track as an electronic sound art montage comprising six sections bridged by a common sample.  To create the piece, I mined my live improvised modular recordings made in January and February 2023 and extracted samples from these recordings using Sound Forge.  Some were whole patch recordings others were individual elements of the patch.   The sounds were created either directly from the After Later Audio Benjolin II or from the Benjolin processed through Mutable Instruments granular synthesizer Beads.  In addition, the Benjolin’s Morcom expander pulses were passed through a logic module, randomiser and sequential switch to trigger a WMD Fracture percussion synthesizer and a Noise Engineering Tymp Legio drum module that also produces bass lines from the Benjolin Rungler stepped LFO.

This sound world of samples was then arranged and mixed in Ableton Live to create the composition and the stereo master recording dropped back into Sound Forge to add a little reverb and master the track using the Ozone 10 plugin.  This latest version takes advantage of now having the Ozone Advanced edition of the software.

This will be a short series of experimental jam sessions where I will be utilising just a single piece of gear and working within the limitations of that piece of equipment. For this session I am using the Digitakt and some single cycle waveforms.

When I bought my first eurorack modules, I was warned that I was at risk of going down a rabbit hole.  At that time, I did not understand what this meant but I certainly do now!

So when you think of a rabbit hole you almost certainly are reminded of Lewis Carroll's story Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. And that is the inspiration for this track, a story based on Alan's Adventures in Modularland.  I wrote the story and recorded it as a sample that plays whilst I improvise with various eurorack modules over the top to create an electronic soundscape.

The modules used include logic and random probability as a tribute to Carroll's mathematical interest.  Central to the control of the track is After Later Audio's version of the Turing Machine aptly named Alan.
