Another couple patches from the wine box system that I recorded this weekend.
I’ve gotta say I am in love with the Pittsburgh Primary Oscillator. It’s capable of some very cool things. The track titled Ratio was built around using its different outputs to emphasize different harmonics and subharmonics. The blade output already rests at twice the fundamental on its own, but there’s a spot on the wavefolder where it will almost completely suppress the fundamental and second harmonic while boosting the third, and then the fragments output is capable of putting out some unpredictable subharmonics (but still musical, if you find a sweetspot for the CV input in relation to your pitch sequencing). Sending those three outputs and the fundamental through Frames set to act as a sequential switch made for a nice, constantly evolving melodic sequence.
I bought 20 cassettes from someone, with the intention to make tape loop containers for my 4-track. harder to splice tape than i remember, but rewarding.
Experimenting with live patching…
Piano, Modular and Norns MLR
made this improvised remix of como la flor by selena. live sampled a live perfomance video of youtube. ran audulus through borderlands for granular synth sound. all trhough sp303 compression.
This is so lovely. Bought!

Yesterday’s Live Jam. Some noise with mit DIY Lunetta synthesizer.
more music here:
A miniature from this week. A bit rushed as I was behind but I had this footage for a while and decided to write something for it finally. It’s just a single processed Rhodes, so pretty simple.
Generative music experiment with modular patch:
A few months ago two good friends (one of which happens to be @plebeien) and I formed a band to play at a dadaism-themed house party. It was our first real live set — we played some electronic and ambient things, and it was a hugely positive experience.
The party’s host absolutely loved it. So we made arrangements with his friend to secretly throw another show for his birthday. We somehow managed to get a guitar cab, a cello, a modular synth and a PA into his house without him noticing.
We threw together three songs. Here they are! The first track is just some talking, feel free to skip ahead. Second is more of a pop thing. Third is acoustic ambient. Fourth is a banger.
And yet another live set! This was last Sunday’s Disquiet meetup with @maxijazz. This is much more electronic, with ambient, techno and industrial vibes.
Trying out some different sounds this morning. I keep being surprised by how much I can get out of 84hp!
the video for ‘warm ground’, the second track from my all-Lyra-8 album ‘a better place’ is here:
the album is available to stream and download here:
here’s a teaser for my new album with experimental vocalist theo bleckmann, recorded in preparation for a concert we did with ryuichi sakamoto last year.
vinyl and digital editions available from bandcamp:
high-resolution (96/24) digital edition available through my label greyfade.
A new video (picture of setup here) filmed (by @Angela) last week on amplified percussion:
Really enjoying this. Will have to get the album this evening when I get in.
This is lovely stuff!
The whisk + snare combo sounds great
Thanks.
It’s almost weird to watch it after working on the mix for a couple of days because the sounds are some brutal and alien that when you see a whisk and a mic on a snare, it seems so normal(ish).
I’ve got a few videos of this setup coming up, though more a tripod kind of look.
