"‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog Subharmonicon, ‪@KORG_INC‬ volca fm2, and DIY noise box
A lo-fi piece built from nostalgic synth tones and layered soundscapes.

The noise box is routed into the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II to generate glitchy textures.

Subharmonicon is patched to produce city-like noise and sent through ‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM for reverb.

volca fm2 is driven via MIDI from Ableton; its output runs into ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY for reverb and filtering."

"Spent the last couple of days exploring ways to interface/interlock my shakuhachi with the Easel. These are just the first little steps . . ."

Skirting the Narrows


video upload by davidryle

"Instruo Harmonaig and MI Marbles with Acid Rain Technology Ripsaw and Doepfer A-111-4 and A-105-4. These quad vcos and filter setups were used along with some 5U large format modules from Synthetic Sound Labs, synthesizers.com, Grove Audio, Oakley Sound Systems and Moon Modular to present various sound sketches of the Harmonaig's chord outputs.
The percussive opening part trigger pattern was taken from the 4MS Quad Clock Distributor, RCD, and a switch module. The Modcan dual delay was time shifted using a triple switch module in the 5U.
Additional transpose sequences were mixed from the dotcom Q960 and Marbles to the Harmonaig.
All sounds were recorded in real-time to Cubase and video edited in Final Cut Pro."

Shibasaki MOD - Tokyo set song #7


video upload by Arman Bohn

"Song #7 from my set at Shibasaki MOD in Tokyo, April, 2025.

The MT32-pi starts it off by playing some noise samples I collected with my SOMA Ether. Those samples are being sequenced and panned (via CC LFO) by the Phantasmal Force - which is sending clock to everything.

Next, I bring in a percussive pattern in 7/8 on GREAT CONJUNCTION. I randomize some of the instruments throught creating some nice robotic textures.

After I get going, I use the Phantasmal Force to unmute different instruments (drums/synths/bass) on the Dirtywave M8.

The Prismatic Spray MKii is is layered in with some hi-hat sounding bytebeat noise, retriggered in tempo by the Phantasmal Force."

Come take a look and listen to LIMINAL SPACE with me. We’ll talky, talky, talky about reverb, algorithms, and all of that good stuff. Grab your delay line and get ready for this modulation-a-go-go verbstravaganza!"
