"A quiet and brooding piece. Modular synth, Waldorf MicroWave XT, Phoenix MicroQ, LinPlug Octopus, Addictive Drums and Korg ES-1. Numerology for sequencing and the modular for drone and electronic noises.
The spirit will return to restore the earth's heartbeat from the white eye'd monster."

Fonik Sequential Switch and friends

"Just a little modular synth messing around. Have this fonik sequential switch pretty much built, need a panel for it. Apologies for fan in the backgrond and general shoddy iphone cameraman skill. Couple things I din't mention - that toggle down there is to select 2,3, or 4 steps for it to sequence through - set to 4 for this vid. It's more or less just like an a-151 with the addition of manual step and manual reset buttons. Also - in the patch the envelator is what is actually opening the borg. (and the also-clocked noisering is playing just a little with the envelator decay...)"
