This is the first of a series of recordings i made through the first half of the year and that I am just getting to finalise now. They are all single take modular synth recordings exploring Teletype’s cellular automata operator (CHAOS.ALG 3) in sequencing. In this case the voices are Mannequins Just Friends (Just Type) + w/ (w/type). Everything is run through Three Sisters. The process was inspired by @dan_derks Less Concepts work (thank you) and particularly the Teletype script used in his first Less Concepts album *nested* + less concepts: album + cellular automata sequencer (norns, Mac). In this case I have two voices playing a simple ASR line and then the Chaos op is selecting the pattern index to play the “arp” line from.

Edited to try and get soundcloud to embed. Any tips? I’m sure it’s not been an issue before.

Melody driven, random harmony (teletype)

I made this running two simultaneous instances of @SimonKirby’s most excellent Teletype quantiser detailed here.

Each script sent CV to one of the two channels of a Klavis Twin Waves, a little modulation was provided by a Zadar, and then the audio was squeezed through a Magneto.

@abalone Thank you for listen

Just released a compilation of live recordings from this year’s NOISE SHED:

First few moments with qpas, really surprised by how musical this filter can be.

I took a week off work to compose last week. Here are a few bits and pieces. I focused primarily on sending harmonically rich instruments through various effects chains and processing situations that I found interesting.

this is from a collaboration with a friend living in Boulder, Co. it was shelved cuz I couldn’t get the clarinet parts right, and it just felt too labored over. my friend Noah provided the sort of shimmering base drone

I love devices that are built with live performance in mind, that have easy access to sound exploration and can add variety to seemingly rigid sequences. As such, these three devices are basically a dream team for performing.

Looking forward to watching this. Your previous videos reignited my love for my Subsequent 37 - you make it sound really good against the Matriarch, which itself sounds beautiful!

It’s funny how I’d needed a bit of a reignition, too. I had come to take the S37 for granted, and it was only by playing it against the Matriarch that I remembered how great and also how unique it sounds. I was planning on trading it for the Matriarch originally, but I’m definitely holding onto it now.

And thanks so much!

Whoa! Insanely groovy. Thanks for sharing.
