Spirits Of The Temple Electric - World In A Drop


Published on Mar 19, 2015 John L Rice

"This one just came out of some late night noodling and running an electric piano sound and modular sequence through the oscilloscope. I was more focused on watching the oscilloscope then making listenable music but I decided to try to make something out of this anyways! ;-)

While the initial piano sound produced smooth shapes when I added the thin sounding sequence it added nice little lines that are reminiscent of the legs, antennas, cilia and flagella of aquatic insects and microorganisms.

The electric piano sound is from a Roland Fantom XR and the modular sequence is a simple patch of two Synth Tech VCO's controlled by a Moon Modular 569 sequencer and passed through a Happy Nerding Fun VCF. Later additional synth parts were added with a Korg microStation (choir voices in first half and lead solo at the end) and a Novation Ultranova (beginning ring modulated like bells and ending sustained root chord). The drum part was played live on a Ludwig marching snare. Strymon BigSky reverb pedal used on original track but post oscilloscope.

I have a quick overview of how I make these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHW5I...

I made a video playlist that contains all videos in this series in order of creation chronologically: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list..."
