SPHE X

Published on Jan 4, 2015 wellurban

"A generative and (mostly) self-running piece, with elements of drone, dark ambience, glitch and terrifying sub-bass.

The main sound source is Braids in Wavetable mode, which is processed in three ways:

- Through a Doepfer A124 Wasp filter, which is FMed by a Dixie II sine that tracks a variation of the sequence that drives Braids.
- Through a uVCF that is also variably FMed by the A124's output. Resonance is high, so that when it's not being FMed it sinks down to a low, distorted sine bass.
- Through a Metasonix R54 and Serge Resonant EQ to pick out some higher harmonics, then into an Optomix which is rhythmically struck.

The first two get lots of delay from a Vox Delay Lab, and the last goes into an Erbe Verb, whose Size parameter is modulated by a very slow uLFO to create constantly shifting spaces.

'Melodic' sequencing (and I use the word rather generously) mostly comes from a Turing Machine into an A156 quantiser, with transposition from Moskwa. Other sequencers, LFOs, and Turing Machine expander outs modulate the FM amounts and decays, filter sweeps, Erbe Verb modulation amount, "bassline" overdrive, pluck pattern and other parameters."
