a collection of ambient modular patches I've produced in the past month or so

The core of the patch is Mutable Instruments Marbles, which is constantly sending bernoulli gate triggers, uneven clocks, and random slewed CV to several parameters across almost every module. the first Braids is running a triple sine pluck through Chronoblob 2, which is sent into Clouds clocked to T1 from Marbles. Every parameter on Chronoblob 2 is modulated a little bit by every slewed CV output from Marbles. The signal is sent from Clouds into Plateau, with the decay time being modulated by a 3-minute long saw LFO, and the size being modulated by øchd. This is then finally sent to the mixer, along with another clone of the sound coming straight out of Clouds, to keep a consistent backbone to the plucks. All of this is layered with a clone of Braids, pitched 1oct up. This copy is not synced to an envelope, which makes it constantly pitch-bending. This layer is slowly faded in by a 3-minute LFO. On the other side, Voxglitch Digital Sequencer XP is sequencing pitch sent to a pluck from Plaits triggering 16th notes, which is being run through another Chronoblob 2 with slight time modulation for a warble effect. Plaits is then run through Plateau, which is sent to another mixer. The real magic of the patch happens here: both mix outputs of both sides are sent to a BogAudio XFADE, which very, very slowly crossfades between the two, running off a VCV LFO set to 0.0062146hz, or about 2.6 minutes. The LFO is clocked from Marbles' T3, which is uneven. This is what creates the constant dynamic movement of the patch, and adds a level of evolution and movement to the patch not seen in any of my previous work.

What I Have In My House (ft. LASTRA)

This is, I think, just a better version of Atlas. It was SUPER fun to make, and I think, is one of the best tracks I've ever made. The switch-up at the end is my favorite part. I tried to push Native Instruments Playbox to it's absolute limits in this track, forcing it into modes that I could play melodies with, and using it for everything from risers to drums. It was originally supposed to go into a future-bass drop, but I ended up doing the fake-out key switch instead. Silicon is a really, really old name I've had laying around since Inertia I, it was originally meant for a song on Inertia VII. Imagine if I had actually gone on with that naming scheme.

On January 21st, 2023, over 300 musicians and visual artists challenged themselves to create something in only 18 hours. Visual artists had to create a unique album cover & its supporting graphics, and musicians were limited to no less than 50 seconds and no more than 70 seconds for their songs; in short, a speedrun. The event encouraged creatives to think outside the box, picking their ideas apart in order to keep only the essentials. At the finish line, we received some of the most exciting tracks on a FORM compilation to date.

In the colors of each album cover and between the notes of each song are reflections of us— the artists. To leave pieces of ourselves *out* in lieu of a time constraint isn't easy, but it allows us to conclude what's at the center of what we create. Creativity, no matter how bare-bones or how complex & nuanced it is, is something nobody can ever take away.

All proceeds from any% will be going to SpecialEffect, a charity working to make video games accessible to those with physical disabilities.
