[peryl – phase alternations]
Phase Alternations arise where overlapping waves diverge in phase, revealing the hidden geometry of sound. A phenomenon that Peryl deliberately allows to happen — thus placing the physical and technical aspects of music at the center of attention. His new album builds on a fundamental idea of electronic music — but reimagined.
The person Peryl and his needs steps into the background during production — functioning merely as a channel that intuitively receives and transmits what long-studied machines, in dialogue with the subconscious, collectively bring to the surface.
The result is a collection of nine tracks, like emanations of precisely crafted analog synthesis. No sound returns the same way twice. This fragility fuels the urgency — a creative necessity to listen, to commit, to allow form to arrive before it dissolves again.
Rhythm is no longer on the grid, but a series of small shifts, offsets, and delays. Loops fall slightly out of sync. Deviation creates friction, and friction creates energy. Through the layered interplay of phase-driven effects — chorus, phaser, flanger — the sounds begin to
breathe in alternate rhythms. Hollows emerge. Swells fold into one another.
Challenging these swells is an essential part of Phase Alternations. Effects come alive in subtle shifts, industrial textures whisper melodies, folding and unfolding in rhythms that emerge through their own logic.
Peryl presents the result of an experiment: the sound itself chooses its form.

Short clip of some live rehearsals for the next upcoming live performances.
Always fine tuning my setup and still getting surprised by how much you can squeeze out of the Octatrack. Can’t wait to get it back on stage.
That said, see you around!
Short clip from the studio!
Recording and checking out some new gear. Totally hooked on the @smoothieaudio „SMEAR“ filter you can clearly hear in this patch.
Cant wait to hear this on a pounding system!

Doepfer A-110-4 Thru Zero Quadrature VCO
This is the second clip from our visit to @peryl_ s studio in Berlin, where he patched an FM sound using two Doepfer A-110-4 Thru Zero Quadrature VCOs.
As you can hear and see, there’s quite a lot going on in this patch. The core consists of two A-110-4 oscillators where Peryl has one modulating the other. To control the modulation depth, he placed a VCA in between. The signal then flows through an Intellijel Korgasmatron filter and another VCA. From there, he splits the signal - one path goes into a BBD(A-188-1) to add depth and dimension, while the feedback path of the filter runs through a Wasp filter for extra character.
That’s the basic signal flow Peryl built. Of course plus plenty of modulation sources to bring movement into the patch -for example, the A-149-1 Quantized/Stored Random Voltages module and various sequencers.
A complex patch like this isn’t easy to recreate or explain step-by-step, but this breakdown should give you a solid starting point for your own experiments.
