"A recent visit to Brighton coincided with an interesting bill at railway arch venue The Green Door Store - long-time SonicTalk guest Matt Hodson aka @MATTHS was playing with his modular rig.
So we grabbed cameras and managed to film a quick rig tour - Chris Black of nearby electronic duo Battery Operated Orchestra was kind enough to come along and ask questions.
Matt's minimal show rig was carefully chosen not only to maximise his sonic palette, but also to provide an impressive degree of control over how that sound was presented.
Matt was using studio production techniques to really sculpt the sound and create powerful dynamics during his performance, which was very much crafted into several discrete sections.
"Starting with the bleedin' obvious and moving through to the "sounds bad now but wait a minute" method, here's five pattern creation techniques. Along the way there's a few extra tips and tricks including the rare "zero gate" option.
It's a bit long but I thought it was worthwhile to show the full process rather than just cut in all the bits that worked on the first attempt. Watching videos where everything works perfectly and then not being able to instantly replicate that success can be a bit disheartening so there's quite a bit of tweaking and deleting.
Hopefully here the joy of just experimenting, looping, randomly deleting and poking comes through. Just delete the crap and keep going :D
