Harvestman Module Review on trash_audio

click here for the full review.
"Both modules are aesthetically beautiful front and back and well constructed. I'm not sure how I feel about Buchla Style wiggle on the knobs. The knobs definitely makes me feel a more rich, almost as if I could afford a Buchla. It's almost like picturing your girlfriend is Shannyn Sossamon while you're...... *ahem*. Anyways this is almost like cheating... so aside from the wiggle causing hallucinations, I'm going to assume that they're a welcome change because I treat my gear like crap and a little give on the knobs will keep them from getting bent."

Coalescence and Luxation

"This is what I've been working on for the past week after I put my kids to bed. The music is realized entirely using my modular - every total element, one monophonic line at a time. The only non-modular element is Battery which I used for the drums. All of this audio was recorded into my DAW and severely processed and edited, but no other synths were used."
