Benjolin in a Pedal // Glou-Glou Bien Jolie ! Live Improv


video upload by Andre Bregegere

"In this session, I explore the Bien Jolie ! by Glou-Glou, a fascinating hybrid desktop effects pedal and standalone experimental synthesizer deeply inspired by Rob Hordijk's legendary Benjolin circuit.

Built around interacting analog VCOs, XOR logic, and the famous Rungler shift register, this box excels at generating unpredictable, evolving patterns, chaotic cross-modulation, and unique rhythmic textures. It brings the beautifully unstable spirit of the Benjolin into a highly tactile, semi-modular desktop format. This performance is captured entirely live and unedited, showcasing the spontaneous interaction between the internal normalized path and custom patch routings.🎛️ "

    My dad got such sounds out of his shortwave radio for free sixty years ago. What makes it music?
