"Audulus 3 is a monstrous modular synth, but it can also be a lot of fun! In this video I attempt to show you how to make a complex patch using simple building blocks. It's February Album Writing Month, so I'm making a patch that will write a whole album for me.

"This is the culmination of the massive Audulus 3 patch I've been working on in February!

Inspiration for the album:
Music has always had a tradition of blending storytelling with applied philosophy. Or at least, at its greatest, it aspires to do so. We can never hear the first songs of mankind, but we can guess what they were about. The earliest stories undoubtedly revolved around the struggle of man against nature. Then Gods against man. As we cast about today we find a narrative in which Gods and Man are mutually forsaken, and Nature is I'm totally fucking with you. This is ambient. I just tried to make some pretty bleeps and bloops.

Return to LoFi - Studiologic Sledge v2 & Juno 60

Published on Feb 12, 2016 DouglasHurdGymnast

"Gotta love 80s graphics :) Its funny how what was once cutting edge and almost icy cold to view now appears warm and quite beautiful. The march of time has a curious way of blurring our vision of the past as it treads ever on into the future.

GLASYS - No Chronic Pain, No Gain (Live)

Published on Feb 11, 2016 GLASYS

"Here's another one-take live performance. This song has a lot of keyboard action and proved to be quite the challenge!

All sounds played in realtime on the Nord Stage 2EX which also controls a Boomstar 4075 (for the bass sound). Only the drums are sequenced using a Social Entropy Engine and Nord Drum 2. Recorded in one take."
