"| Sound Mechanics of Eurorack Composition - Part 1 |

In this video, I sit down with Máté Szabó, the mind behind Doboz Modular.

I traveled to Budapest, where Máté designs and builds his instruments, to talk about Eurorack, the process of creating a modular synth module, and why it can sometimes be challenging to think of a modular system as a traditional musical instrument.

We also discuss Máté's latest creation: DVNA, a compact standalone synthesizer featuring a monophonic voice with paraphonic chord output, designed to bring expressive harmonic control into a portable format.

Why One Rhythm Is Never Enough — Inside Polyrhythm | Sound Mechanic 02

"| Sound Mechanics of Rhythm |
What happens when time stops agreeing with itself?
In this video, I explore polyrhythm inside a modular system.

This started as an exploration of external gear in Eurorack.
But it quickly became something else.

Because modular isn’t a closed system.
There is no real “outside.”

Everything that interacts with it—machines, signals, even us—becomes part of the same structure.

From that perspective, polyrhythm is not just a technique.
It’s what happens when multiple divisions of time coexist… without agreeing.

From Order to Chaos | Sound Architecture 01

"| Sound Mechanics of Chaos and Randomness |

In this video, I explore chaotic systems in modular synthesis, starting from Rob Hordijk’s ideas on feedback and nonlinear patching, and developing a system that lives between control and unpredictability.

Why chaos? Because perfection is static — chaos is alive. Small changes create massive transformations, generating evolving, organic sound structures that never truly repeat.

This approach goes beyond 'perfect' modulation and embraces instability as a creative tool for sound design, composition, and generative systems.

Special Guest 🎤
In this episode, I also interview Federico Intrisano (Jolin) about modular development, philosophy, and experimentation.
