An ouroboros is mythological figure represented by a serpent swallowing its own tail.\u00a0 Here is a series of filters and other processors, each output connected to the input of the next, with the last output circling back to the input of the first.\u00a0 Feedback develops through the chain when all the filters allow something to pass and withers if any of them cuts too much.\u00a0 The modules in order in the loop:\u00a0 Blacet parallel state variable, Oakley Super Ladder, MOTM-480 band pass, CGS Synthacon, MOTM-440 low pass, MOTM-420 in high pass mode, Encore Frequency Shifter, Blacet Time Machine.\u00a0 Three LFOs modulate the Oakley, 440, and 480 filter frequencies.\u00a0 The Time Machine’s internal LFO modulates its delay.\u00a0 The Encore FS Cosine output modulates the 440.\u00a0 After plenty of fiddling with knobs, I made this recording (one of several).\u00a0 I did not change much during the recording.\u00a0 The sound fades in and out and the pitches change in an eerie sequence, driven by the interaction of slow LFOs on filter cut-offs.\u00a0 I swapped the A\/B setting of the MPX-1 5th-octaverb for the third sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n
