On the occasion of Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee, BCC America reports.  A Cocoquantus seems to have intervened.  Recorded in a mini-studio, consisting of a Tivoli Audio PAL radio and the … Read More

This was made with the Modular Tetrazzi amplitude-modulating itself and going through a pair of MOTM-490 filters being swept by LFOs.  Tetrazzi is controlled by the Wogglebug.

Uses the Modular Tetrazzi as a linear FM modulation source for the Zeroscillator in “no bias” mode.  A thick drone arrives from the Synthesis Technology e340 Cloud Generator and later … Read More

Example use of the Modular Tetrazzi as a sound generator, driven by other modules. In this patch a simple pattern generator drives four MOTM-800 envelope generators, each of which is … Read More

Reading about Pierre Schaeffer, founder of musique concrete, and his ideas of acousmatics and the sonorous object. a) The sonorous object is not the instrument that was played.  b) The … Read More

The primary chance parameters are pitch, tempo, loudness and duration.  Modules include VCOs, VCAs, VC EGs, VC LFOs, a VC clock divider, sample and holds, and a frequency shifter.  No … Read More

The bright gates patch with the Cocoquantus added to control resonance on the gates and to provide delay/echo. For this take, the initial frequency of the gates was set higher … Read More

The bright gates patch with the Cocoquantus added to control resonance on the gates and to provide delay/echo. For this take, the initial frequency of the gates was set low.

This recording is all modular, except for the digital echos. It is also aleatoric, self-playing, using a rhythmic CV generator patch similar to some I have done before, based on … Read More
