SenSen - Frequential Aerial Disappointment

Noble earths are needed to fulfil humanity’s wish for digitization and technological progress. That is indeed ironic since in order to construct a world only using digits it still needs nature’s rarest elements. Therefore it must be questioned how much the digital dream is worth in the end. I wanted to convert this question into electronic music that consists of primal elements of rhythm and sound to celebrate rudimentary things that let us feel and dance – powerful elements of the past to guide us into the future.

Recorded Dec 2009 at the CEM studio in WORM, Rotterdam NL with their Serge modular and ARP2500 synthesizers, my own pedals and a nice big mixing console. Edited in Ardour. An early sketch, which may be returned to at a later date.

Solitude

Concentrating on random processes, Formfaktor offers eight extracts in the field of experimental composition. 
Each individual tracks was created using a generative patched Serge modular system and is an excerpt from longer recordings lasting up to several hours. 
Formfaktor is a further step in the direction of generative music - a continuous sound genesis with no beginning, no end.

Concept and production: Thomas Breuer, 2024

formfaktor 6

An older track from 2003, but one that I still appreciate. It uses the sample-and-hold noise-driven LFO of a Soviet-era Formanta EMS-01 synthesizer, digitally cross-bred with the surface noise at the end of a scratchy old Russian vinyl. Reflecting on this piece, I can see the start of a deep interest in automatic, generative and self-modulating processes taking shape. Thanks to Maksim Borisov for use of his amazing electronic museum piece!
