Furthrrr Generator + SEM Filter // Eurorack Modular Session

Furthrrr Generator + SEM Filter // Eurorack Modular Session from Jonathan Sare on Vimeo.

"Here is a modular melodic session inspired by Boards Of Canada.

The Tiptop Trigger Riot is the brain of this patch. It commands the Rene and the Octone, sequencing respectively the Furthrrr Generator and the Dixie II+.

VCO 2 of the Furthrrr Generator is only waveshaped, Vco 1 goes into the Doepfer SEM Filter.

The Dixie II+ is filtered by the System X Filter and pulse wave modulated by the Maths.

Kick and snare drums are provided by the Peaks. Hit-Hats are from the Neuron and also modultated by the Maths.

Extra footage was captured by the astronauts of the Nasa Apollo missions around the Moon."

"Captured live in one take.

No multitracking.

Reverb provided by Ibanez Echo Shifter.

MS-20 is doing the bass, the rest including the drums is done by the modular.

With extracts from the movie The Wraith (1986) by Mike Marvin.

Thanks for watching ;)"
