midnight peaks

Umbrella thorn silhouetted by the setting sun
A large orange fireball
The brave lion rests atop a koppie
Wildebeest and gazelles roam free on the grasslands

Land Of Lions ライオンの国

Clouds fill the sky, soon rain will come
Dawn, the city awakes
Tin can robots bring their umbrella today
Rain won't stop them, it's all in the game

electric drops 電気滴

They are everywhere, surrounding us all
They excite us, but there's silence still
A never ending stream of waves
Like a stone dropped in water
Wrinkles
Invisible to us, untouchable
We close our eyes, open our mind
We can't hear it still
But then, a crystal appears...
We open the box, point our ears
Then closing our eyes again
We hear
Invisible waves

'A walk around our fields has become a party of my daily routine. I find the birds very inspiring and my field recordings of them are at the heart of this track. A busy nearby road can be perceived as background noise or as a continuation of our busy lives.'

Field recordings are supplemented with a drone and chirping sound from a VCV Rack patch. A third layer is added with the introduction of the piano.
The loops are played back at different speeds and pass through a wide range of effects.

Birdsong

Flowing water through a river, rattling pieces of dried wood.
These sounds become interacting voices.
Most melodic information and modulation are provided by the fantastic modules from Instruō: harmoniàg, I-ō47, øchd, tágh, tòna, Ts-L, neóni and saïch.
Below those layers lays a suspenseful ostinato, giving a threatening feel. Warriors on their way to battle.

Operation Driftwood was a raid by British commandos launched in Italy, January 1944.

Operation Driftwood

This patch relies heavily on modules from Mutable Instruments for its rhythmic generation and voicing. Key elements are Mutable Instruments Marbles and Rings.

mallets

Selene, goddess of the Moon, daughter of Titans Hyperion and Theia, sister of the sun god Helios and dawn goddess Eos.
Euclidean rhythm is the heartbeat of this patch.

Selene

A generative, self-modulating patch. 'Uncharted lands' applies to the unknown of the patch itself and my journey through the world of modular synthesis.
The heart of this patch is a sample and hold module trigged by an envelope, which in return is trigged by the S&H module. A manual first trigger by the performer is required to start the patch.
This track could go on for hours and still be excitingly new.
