Ann Arbor Percussion Synthesizer v .001 Sound Sample

A slow, dreamlike drone is joined, at first, by small points of incoherent artificial thought until an apex of synergy between machine and electronic logic bursts through, poised to take over. A moment of ancestral reflection staves off the initial impulse.

Modular Jam #4: Downtempo Glitch Ambient { DU-KRPLS Grids Plaits }

Slowly building ambient pads and arpeggios are joined by downtempo breakbeat with a touch of glitch. 

I've reorganized the studio and this is a newly modified setup, where the computer is there to multitrack record all the individual parts. The audio interfaces are on the shelf on the right. Aside from a little bit of compression and stereo field movement on one track, all sounds are coming from the Eurorack system on the left.

Modular Jam #3: Ambient Space Techno { Edges Arpitecht Plaits }

Micro Sci-Fi Story: 
Humans make contact with a distant civilization, but they inadvertently insult the recipients, who now seek revenge for the slight. 

Patch notes:
First arpeggiated voice to come in is a combination of Grids, Tides, and Bermuda. Each of them is getting pitch CV off of one of the note outputs from the Triad. Triggers from Varigate 8+ are going to a clock counter where it is stepping through three steps and each step goes off to an envelope generator in Ornament and Crime. Those envelopes and the audio from the three oscillators are going into VCAs. This gives a textured illusion of something like an arpeggiation, but a bit more dynamic because the decay rates of the envelopes for each oscillator are moving independently. The audio of that voice is mixed down in a bubble sound mix 6, then sent to the DLD for clocked delay. 

A copy of the oscillator audio (pre-VCA) is mixed down (mix 6) and sent to Clouds in regular clouds mode, pitched up pretty high, sent through one of the BF-22 channels, and is the background shimmer sound (highlighted toward the end of the song)

The second arpeggiated voice to come in is Plaits in wave shape mode getting pitch CV from Arpitecht. 

The lo-fi filtered noise that comes and goes is from the Dinkey's Taiko running through Ripples with a copy of the Plaits pitch CV going into its cutoff frequency and the audio from the Bermuda coming in to do a small bit of FM.

Modular Jam #8: Hard Acid Trance Techno

Clips from a recorded live jam session by Joe and Nick while at the North Coast Modular Collective Summer Camp of 2018. Both of their racks were placed on a coffee table, head to head and the patching began from scratch. Generally, Joe took on rhythm duties while Nick performed melodies and pitched elements.

Some simple patterns sequenced up in the NerdSEQ going to a Tona and Ts-L. Then, Arpitecht driving Plaits. Tides is being sent pitch CV from Triad, but nothing is sequencing it - I'm playing that by moving the triad knob. I was going to write a sequence for it, but I ended up liking the way it sounded being performed even better, so I went with it :)

Modular Jam 16

Complex rhythm structures that approximate the disorientation I imagine would be felt if your brain were downloaded to a computer and you woke up in a robot body.
