S C R I P T S is out now on Bandcamp, available digitally and on CD – as a limited run of 100. Link in Bio.

The album has been in the works since 2020 and features 17 selected modular synthesizer patches created between 2020 and 2023. Each track is an excerpt from longer one-take stereo recordings of fully generative and self-playing patches running on my 6U 104 HP modular synthesizer.
Many thanks to @timmroller (who did a fantastic job mastering the album) and @konstantine.f for helping me make this record a reality. Shout-out also to @scanner_darkly_ , @user.friendly.sounds and @obakegaku .

For Wiretapping, attowatt has recorded an exclusive generative live set. Like a modular puppet master, attowatt connects the cables for his patches, writes the rules and codes by which his synthesizers abide, and then lets the machines take control.
His set „The Observer“ unfolds as a contemplative modular epic. It asks fundamental questions about time and transhumanism: Am I responding to the machine, or is the machine responding to me?

[ Yesterday, I recorded a looping structure.
Later, something similar returned,
but changed, almost inverted, as if seen from the inside.
A flipped echo.
An untriggered response.
It’s possible the system remembers me.
Or some version of me.
Whatever it is, I am beginning to doubt my own observations. Maybe there's just something wrong with the test set-up. I will try again tomorrow. _ ]

100% generative modular patch.
Full-length video on YouTube.

Patch Notes:
Teletype sequencing ER-301, Just Friends, Mangrove, disting EX and Analog Four. The script cycles through different keys going 7 semitones up each iteration. Metro fluctuates between low and high values.
ER-301 for sample playback, playing log entries in order, triggering the last part twice. Just Friends into Mimeophon, into Silhouette. Mangrove into Three Sisters, into Silhouette. Heavy modulation of Mimeophon’s Zone, Repeats and Color via Batumi. Flip and Repeat randomly triggered via Teletype. Modulation of Silhouette’s Lens and Focus. Shadow into All. Spot running freely. 0coast’s contour envelope into Mangroves Air, with modulation of Formant. Disting Ex for piano. Analog Four for additional synth notes, sequenced via i2c2midi. Everything into OTO BAM, with Wet controlled by Teletype via i2c2midi, into BOUM.

LOG RECURSION – iii
/

[ The signal had been repeating for hours. Sharp, irregular clusters. Chaotic, but too consistent to ignore. I filtered, slowed, reversed. Looking for meaning where none was intended.
Until I recognized a pattern—not in the sound, but in the gaps between.
It matched the spacing of my own logs. Just the rhythm of when I’d been recording.
Somehow, the system had internalized the act of documentation.
Now, even in silence,
it continues logging._ ]

Patch Notes:
Teletype sequencing ER-301, Nord Drum, Analog Four, Just Friends and disting EX. A custom-build prototype module is generating morse code pulses from the log entry text. The morse code pulses are triggering script 1 of Teletype, which from there drives everything else in the patch – including the voice recording of the log entry text itself. ER-301 running Manual Grains with drum and percussion samples, triggered by Teletype. Nord Drum triggered and switching through multiple programs via i2c2midi, going back into ER-301, into Mimeophon, into Silhouette. Modulation of Mimeophon’s Zone, Repeats, Mix, Halo, Color, Flip and Hold via Teletype. Modulation of Silhouette’s Blur and Focus via Teletype. disting EX for piano, Analog Four for synth stab and base pad. Just Friends for additional tones. Everything into OTO BAM and BOUM.

[ The structure is losing coherence over time.
At first, the drift was imperceptible—like condensation forming in a sealed space.
But Small deviations accumulate. Echoes of previous states reappear without instruction.
Old configurations surface, folding into the current behavior.
I suspect the system retains fragments it was never meant to hold.
I stopped resetting.
