It's been a madness-inducing stretch in the studio the past few weeks as tracking work progresses on several records simultaneously and a looming deadline for mixing -months- of work rapidly approaches. Seeing as how interacting with the modular seems to directly access whatever subconscious state my mind is in, it is little surprise that today's track would be more than a little chromatic and unsettling. I'm actually mixing the bassline, percussive element and arpeggio together with the brilliant "spectral panning" filter, Three Sisters by Mannequins. By slaving a highpass, lowpass and bandpass filter to the same set of controls, it acts very much as a mixer in addition to a frequency-carver. This was my first real outing with it as a master controller for the patch and I'm digging just about everything about it.
Some live drums make their way into the fold in the middle of the track. I had a minimal ribbon-based drum setup built for a jazz record I'm cutting (with an early 60's Ludwig bop kit no less) ... so the temptation was too great and sweet sample-y drums became a necessity.

Man. Your life must be crazy :D What's this lead sound?

Confirmed crazy. Lead is all Plaits in wavetable mode, getting slow modulation from a clocked lfo.

I always enjoy the technical breakdown of what you are doing to achieve the sounds we hear! Many thanks! I'd like to see you getting shipped Modules for free to review them, Richard Devine style!

In addition to being an a+ human being, Richard is so far advanced into modular word he has basically transcended the constraints of human music. If I were a module manufacturer he’d be the first dude I sent something to.

yeah i saw him live last year in Houston and it was transcendent for sure. But the whole thing about why he gets sent stuff, is that he meticulously documents and records everything and distributes it consistently in high quality and quantity via his very well maintained social media platforms. Which I believe you have the ability to do as well!

I mean obviously he's an amazing musician and all that, but it's his niche, dedicated, obsessive following that he has, and that he caters to very well, that make him an ideal option for product promotion
