Caterina Barbieri is an Italian composer who explores themes related to machine intelligence and object oriented perception in sound through a focus on minimalism.

Following 2017's acclaimed 2LP "Patterns of Consciousness", "Ecstatic Computation" is the new full-length LP by Caterina Barbieri. The album revolves around the creative use of complex sequencing techniques and pattern-based operations to explore the artefacts of human perception and memory processes by ultimately inducing a sense of ecstasy and contemplation. Computation is turned from being a formal, automatic writing technique into a creative, psychedelic practice to generate temporal hallucinations. A state of trance and wonder where the perception of time is distorted and challenged.

Equally nervous and ecstatic, the fast permutation of patterns can create a state where time stands still whilst simultaneously being in motion. Is this propulsive music moving forward or backward? As long as the perception of the present is constantly enhanced and refreshed in an endless sense of loss, re-discovery and the search for self-orientation this question lies mute aside the thrilling and perplexing moment of the matter at hand."

After Later Audio CANYON: Sub-harmonic/Stepped CV Generator

video upload by After Later Audio

"Canyon is a sub-harmonics generator with two sections fed by two different clock sources. The first section offers odd sub harmonics, dividing the clocks by 1, 3, 5, and 7. The second section offers even sub harmonics, dividing the clocks by 2, 4, 6, and 8. These two section outputs are then mixed together via a voltage controlled crossfader. The outputs can either be used in the audio range to create rich sounds or used at slower rates as CV sources, even patched back into one of the oscillators. Each side of Canyon can also be clocked independently, which can lead to some rich tones."

video upload by leonardoworx

"In this patch i played a lot with the amazing Chaos Clank and Pam's New Workout, in order to achieve an interaction between the MI Plaits, 4MS Ensemble Oscillator and TipTop/Buchla 258t.
A lot of modulations, generative sequences, happen in this ambient/meditative patch also with the addition of Instruo Ochd.

Hope you like!"
