017//Temple of Old - minimal modular background music

Published on Mar 20, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"Wait, you can make patches that AREN'T drowned in reverb?!
This is a rhythmic, semi-self-generating modular patch using a small Eurorack setup sent through an Eventide Space hall reverb and an Eventide Timefactor on tape echo setting. No other processing has been applied.

This patch is based on a basic pluck sound from the higher Mother 32 interacting with the 2 delays. The delay times are set so that the Mother 32 seems to be adding on a new note to the sequence every time the sequence is repeated in the delays, with the older notes of the sequence fading away. I got the feeling of tribal drums from this, and the name/lighting colour come from me thinking of Temple Run (if that still exists nowadays)!
