"video recordings is a selection of modular pieces recorded by elinch for his video channel from 2017-2018.
released September 5, 2018
elinch made all sounds using a eurorack modular synthesizer (orthagonal devices, mutable instruments, malekko, alm busy circuits, make noise, intellijel, 4ms, xaoc, zvex modular, verbos electronics).
track 03 & 04 voice by sofie klein.
bonustrack was made with the cotk modell 15 + cotk c 1680, c 1670, c 928."
'My new Album, performed on a modular synthesizer, consists of 23 individual pieces of 'in between patches'. Each of these patches can take up to two months until they are finalized. During that time, various records states to listen back, decide if something is missing, or whether a track should go in a completely different direction. These recordings often have a special spontaneous appeal, as they are not about perfection, but rather capture the temporary mood of a piece.
Making each of the album's parts a snapshot of an intimate moment - fleeting, evolving and disappearing.
Enjoy listening,
elinch'"

"The second release on the Expert Sleepers label, 'Diaries' presents ten pieces created with a modular synthesizer but not with a typical modular synthesizer sound - instead of bleeps and bloops, here you will find pianos and orchestral sounds, perfectly in keeping with the minimalist compositional style."
"'here are a few moments with the super new looper algorithm from disting ex. andrew (os) has programmed many great features in the looper, such as clocking, vcas for each track, attack and release envelopes, filter, 8bit mode etc. at the beginning you hear the right disting with 4 previously recorded 8bit stereo loops, then the left with 4 16bit mono loops. all sounds come from the sample library of the two disting ex (except for the drums: tokyo tape music center oscillator / and the women voice from my iPad). I also rediscovered clouds, in between it comes from it somewhat granular. enjoy listening!'

"i wanted to use rings something different and wanted to work more extensively with long pads and a looper. to my surprise, the result was 3 very wide loops, which immediately reminded me of indian music. the drum loop with rings builds on it (looped at half speed)."

"I am happy to publish my new album 'Grau' on Seil Records. Out now as limited cassette or as download on Bandcamp.
„grau“ (grey) is a diary of experimental sound fragments. Made of 25 individual sonic poetry moments, each one bleeding into the next. Recorded in single takes, they form a vast collage of sound and emotion.
Made with eurorack, buchla and tape echo."
"'minimal piece with soma cosma loops from the mellotron m4000 into t-rex tape delay. first loop was made with the mutable instruments rings. enjoy listening.'

"a minimal piece of music to the winter, we had short snow. please pay attention to the listening volume, the piece started very quietly and very deep bass, you can not hear with small speakers.
Have a nice Christmas holiday and a great new year!!!!
"berlin is, since i can think, something very special for me - longing, mysterious, history.
in the first part of my soundtrack for berlin, I want to dedicate myself to the "golden 20s" of the last century.
this brief phase of abundance, the heyday of art and culture. However, with an oppressive feeling, the dark time that comes then.
my first album is now available on bandcamp: https://elinch.bandcamp.com/

"„actually i wanted to sell the three modules (rings, marbles, dld) because i used them very seldom and there is no more space for them in my case. i screwed them into my little case for the sales photos and then i thought to myself, another osc and a vca, let's see what kind of loops you can build with them. small and handy, perfect for the couch. now I'm so excited again that I'm building a new system around the 3 modules."
all 8 loops were recorded live with this small system. almost all sounds come from mutable instruments rings. a couple of "buchla" percussion and ring modulator sounds come from the dreadbox osc. afterwards the loops were mixed with the er-301 and got a little delay from the magneto.
