Breathe/The Little Things [Eurorack Modular Ambient]

Published on Mar 25, 2016 S. B. Arweiler

"Ambient eurorack performance in two parts.

PATCH NOTES:
In both parts a glockenspiel sample is played from the MusicThing RadioMusic into Mutable Instruments Clouds. Reset on the RadioMusic is triggered by a channel on the TipTop Circadian Rhythms. On a second RadioMusic a sample of water drops is played for background atmosphere. Clouds is triggered by an ALM Pamela’s Workout channel in Euclidean mode. Clouds’ Size parameter is being modulated by MakeNoise Maths channel 1, Texture on Clouds is being modulated by the QuBit Nano Rand. Evaton Technologies RF Nomad is used as a noise source for some clicky percussion through MakeNoise Optomix triggered by a CR channel.

In part 1 (“Breathe”) Braids in WTX4 mode is sequence by MakeNoise Pressure Points/Brains. The PP/Brains combo is clocked by a channel on the Circadian Rhythms. Presets on the CR are switched manually. The bass drum is the TipTop BD808 that’s triggered from the same channel as the clock for PP/Brains.

In part 2 (“The Little Things”) the bass line is sequenced by the second CV channel of the PP/Brains combo. The bass line is the MakeNoise STO variable shape output played through a Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter. The lead melody is the Mutable Instruments Rings that is sequenced by the MakeNoise René in Snake Mode, which gets its clock from a CR channel. Some slight modulation for vibrato effects for Rings is provided by the four pressure outs on the second Pressure Points. The cymbal is the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteratis that is triggered by another CR channel.

Some reverb and delay added in the mixer with the EHX Cathedral and EHX Deluxe Memory Boy pedals.

Also, my new album "Feldrausch" is out today, and it sounds *nothing* like the tracks I posted recently on this channel. But if you're in noise and drone, check it out:
