Rich Textures through Wave Interferences (Moog Mother-32 Into Starlab)

video upload by PanicGirlVids

"Searching for interesting textures, movements, as well as small irritations in sound is something I spent very much time with.

One thing I love to do is using two (or more) oscillators, and shifting one of them slightly in pitch to get a richer sound through the interferences between the waves.

Here I tried a slightly different approach. I used the Triangle Out of the LFO and patched it into the External Audio Input, hence overriding the normalization of the White Noise to the clockwise position of the Mixer knob in the upper row of the Mother-32. This way you can have two notes playing at the same time, even though the LFO stays at the same pitch.

Additionally I patched the Saw Oscillator Output into the Filter Cutoff, so every time I turn the Cutoff knob to the left you can hear those beautiful interferences coming in and out. And it also sounds different with every note being played.

From my Eurorack case I only used the Starlab module from Strymon for a lush and cinematic reverb.

What are your favourite sounds, that you can't get enough of?

Thanks so much for watching!"
