Deeper IDMish jam.
LXR from @ericasynths running through two @chasebliss pedals for gritty, evolving rhythms.
Eurorack handles a heavily modulated Plaits voice through the @blaknblu_ltd Foxtrot filter.
Kick and hats from the @vermonagear DRM1 MK4 for that analog punch.
Hypnotic, minimal, and fully live.

Today's patch is inspired by two cards drawn from @patchdeck : Elephantine oscillations + Spectral effects navigator.
Elephantine Oscillations patched with Ona's Triangle + Saw + Pulse outputs mixed in 3x MIA, combined audio signal into uVCF, Ona's -2 sub octave square output to uVCF FM1 attenuated input. For extra elephantine emphasis, Ona's -1 sub octave pulse is modulating Mavis's cutoff with Tidbit attenuation.
Spectral Effects Navigator patched with uVCF's high pass output into FX Aid Pro left channel, and uVCF's low pass output into FX Aid Pro's right channel. FX Aid Pro is on the Delay Ping-Pong Dual algorithm. FX Aid Pro's left and right channels are internally modulated 30% by stepped random voltage at 1/3 and 2/3 speed respectively, feedback internally modulated 50% by smooth random at 1/4 speed. Stereo output panning maintained by Doepfer Mini Stereo Mixer. Slow filter sweeping courtesy Batumi 2 ch1 triangle wave modulating uVCF FM2 input.
Mavis making extra bleep bloops, self-patched sample & hold into pitch. Muxlicer is clocking Pico Quant, Batumi ch2, and Pet Rock; triggering Mavis, Pet Rock, and Squid Salmple; sequencing Ona. Pet Rock triggering snare + low conga. Squid Salmple on the CR78 bank. Kick bit-crushed to 2. Batumi 2 ch2-4 smooth random voltage modulating the pitch of metal, low conga, and cowbell. Psychedelic Voltage Processor ch1 altering pitch on Muxlicer step 8. Batumi ch4 sine wave modulating Ona's Pulse Width input. All audio signals mixed with Doepfer Mini Mixer, stereo out of Sono Abitus.
Headphones recommended for stereo separation.

The Moog Grandmother has been mended by Wandering Flux Studios after 2 years. Small sequence with OBNE Minim to blow the dust off.
Winter walks and rivers.
Winter records — @requiemdrone , secret test pressing from the great human behind @mysterycircles , @holliekenniffmusic ’s new tape, some National Geographic cassette finds — I have been recently reinvigorated with Gia Margaret’s earlier record.
Some bad piano from the world’s worst piano student (sorry, Mary, I’ll figure out my lobster claw hands.)
Thank you @aarontaylorwaldman / @patchdeck for the cards & inspiration.
Thank you for the sandwiches.
Watching LA from the other side of the country and please let me know where to send funds, or if I can connect friends with friends.
@patchdeck Cross-modulated LFOs (ᴄᴀʀᴅ ɴᴏ. 23)
Over at Patch Deck HQ we’ve been exploring the range of complex, non-random modulation (and sounds) that a pair of LFOs and sample & holds can produce when they cross-modulate each other.
This patch was contributed by Richard Brewster who has an informative modular site with patch techniques and resources for DIY folks — including a writeup on the newest version of the @dannysound_synthesizers EN-129 VCO (+ LFO) used in this video — more at pugix.com.
Modulating the sound of the Colombian gaita (a traditional flute used colombian ancestral music and and tradicional folk music) through a modular system like VCV Rack can create interesting and experimental sonic results. gaita: @jonathan_corzo_garavito #ModularSynthesis #VCVRack #ModularSynth #Synthesizer #ElectronicMusic #ExperimentalMusic #SoundDesign #MusicProduction #GaitaColombiana #CumbiaMusic #MusicaFolclorica #ColombianMusic #FolkloreColombiano #WorldMusic #LatinMusic #FrequencyModulation #FMmodulation #SoundModulation #RandomModulation #GenerativeMusic #AudioProcessing #AfroCaribbeanMusic #TraditionMeetsTechnology #AncestralSounds #CulturalFusion
Are you into synthesizers *and* diagrams? I see you! I made @patchdeck for you.
It's a deck of cards with patch tips. A bit like an Oblique Strategies deck for modular synth people. Bite-sized patch tips and creative prompts to inspire the next music session.
I'm busy wrapping up the final edits, and it'll be going to print before the year is out. Follow @patchdeck to stay in the loop.
