Datachāi comes to mind.
I wrote about two modular artists I enjoy in another thread - Thomas Lehn and Don Hassler.
Hereās a link to save duplicating the same thing here.
although keith fullerton whitman appears in good place in your playlist, i add this live (which is to my humble opinion a very good period of his work) :
https://vimeo.com/51847769
i also like Nelson Baboonās work a lot (ancient eyeball recipe).
Rastko is one of my favorite Serge artists - http://rastko.bandcamp.com
Also there are a few netlabels worth looking at Vicmod http://www.vicmod.net/artists.html and gameoflife https://gameoflife.bandcamp.com
other artists are Alessandro Cortini, Richard Devine, Charles Cohen, Morton Subotnick, Suzanne Ciani, Benge, Venetian Snares, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, John Chantler
Richard Devine always reminds me of thisā¦
thanks! i added some of your suggestions to the playlist
I suspect many of the ones I really love donāt identify as modular synthesists
yeah āmodular synthesis artistsā is an problematic category⦠where does the modular stop and the computer begin? does aalto count as modular for example? the artists i added to the playlist on spotify work on the modular, but also with a āmodular mindā: experimental, with the focus on timbre variation and complex rhythms.
edit: and where does my need to categorize in the first place comes from?
thanks totally forgot about him. listening to this now and itās great:
I so think of categories like āgreat guitaristsā so why not also for modular synthesizer players? To answer my own rhetorical question, I think part of the reason that I donāt like the category āgreat modular artistsā is that modular synthesizers are all different instruments and so itās harder to compare modular artists in the same apples-to-apples way that one could imagine comparing guitarists. (Disclaimer: I play guitar and modular synth and I greatly respect many artists that use one or both instruments. Iām just a nerd enjoying a discussion of semantics.)
check this performanceā¦
spotted an arc around 12 mins in
Anyone some suggestions that arenāt included in the playlist?
