"experimental ambient. live performance for modular synthesizer and effects.

a rhodes improvisation was recorded into an ER-301 looper unit. that audio runs through mutable clouds as a send effect, then out through delay and reverb pedals.

the ER-301 also generates the vinyl-like crackles with a custom unit: white noise processed via wavefolder, into ladder filter and EQ. r beny and i have been working on this unit for a little while.

two monome ansibles are used. the first, running Cycles, sends unsynced LFOs into attenuators, and then into clouds parameters. the second ansible, running Levels, controls the ER-301 with three encoders on the arc: wet/dry mix, crackle density, and playhead position.

monome earthsea, via buttons on the grid, triggers the looper's reset, which starts playback at the position set with the third arc encoder.

the qubit mixology manages the audio from the ER-301 and clouds, then pushes it through a mackie 802-vlz4 with additional sends to strymon el capistan and bluesky effects. audio recorded with ableton live, video edited with davinci resolve 14b6."
