Modbap is the evolution of HipHop/BoomBap beats made on modular synthesizers.
I'm making Modbap dedications to all my favorite Hiphop producers all February for Black history month.
I'm chopping the same samples the producers used in their beats but instead of using a sampler like an MPC or SP1200 I'm slicing samples with my Reflex Liveloop eurorack module to construct a beat using analog frequencies and voltage control. Most traditional HipHop beats are made on samplers/computers, keeping the beats on a 4/4 grid.
I'm breaking out of the frame and coloring outside the lines of traditional Hiphop. Similar to how Harriet Tubman helped free slaves, our Modbap movement is freeing HopHop from the limitations of the 4/4 time signature prison.
