A few things that have been on the Decadebridge prototyping bench the first half of this year.

I like to give these things names relatively early on in the process to remain focused on the idea itself. That doesn't mean it doesn't evolve through the process but it does help cut away any unnecessary functions and the heart of its meaning doesn't give in to the overwhelming options that could, potentially, take away from it's character.

00:00 Laconic running through a low pass filter and some stereo delay. pitch controlled with Turing machine and volts. Volume controlled using a EG triggered by the Turing machine pulse out.

00:53 Laconic. Disting Mk4 controlling pitch. Manually changing settings.

01:45 Laconic. Pitch controlled manually and with the Turing machine and volts.

02:59 Laconic. Pitch sequenced using SQ1 and Moog subharmonicon sequences. All sounds from Laconic. Subharmonicon envelopes controlling voice level.

03:58 Noria. Ongoing, analog style step sequencer project.

06:49 Untitled. Just playing around with a glitchy, Sid chip type sound. 4 step sequencer that quickly turns into erratic dronal stabs. Fun little project.

08:18 Quatrain. 4 in 4 out passive matrix mixer with a few extra bits. Creating drones with feedback paths. the only sound sources are a couple of cheap guitar pedals (reverb and delay).

11:42 Quatrain. Using the mixer in a Eurorack setup mix CV signals.

13:31 Quatrain. Pure feedback paths to generate drones and tones. Korg amp works, Behringer vintage delay and digital reverb all feedback into each other and themselves to generate drones.

16:13 Quatrain. More CV input mixing and playing on Quatrain's other qualities in this eurorack patch."
