Vajra Generative Music

---

Vajra is an experiment in generative music on the modular systems. For this I used the Squarp Hermod sequencer to push out two sequences of random pitches quantized to a D flat scale. The ALM Akemie’s Castle is fed a note at the start of every bar and its sound is modulated by an ADE-32

Tap Delay Sound Design

---

The 4ms Tapographic Delay is a stereo, filtered 32 tap delay module. It features a time parameter with a strange behaviour where you can hear the delays scan through a sort of ‘buffer’ resulting in re-pitching and changes in playback direction. I spent a while recording sounds with it, feeding it filtering sweeps at various

Lyra-8

---

Newest arrival to the studio is the Soma Laboratories Lyra-8 ‘Organismic Synthesizer’. This thing is wild, a formless, constantly moving drone machine with an unwieldy FX section. Here’s the result of a days use with it. The first half of this is focused on the droning sounds it creates while the 2nd half is more

Shapeshifter Basic 1

---

Spending some time learning the incredibly deep and complex Shapeshifter module, starting slow with some silly techno 🙂

Morphagene Soundscapes

---

Two pieces centred around the Make Noise Morphagene module which is a simulated tape recorder. It can slice audio into grains which can then be repitched, the grains can be scanned and blended – it makes for some very interesting micro sound explorations. ps- I didn’t take the article head picture I found it on

Modular Live “Performance”

---

I spend most of my time at work editing clips in detail – so that’s the last thing I want to be doing at home. I’ve built a Eurorack system to both serve as an interesting source for my sound design but also so that I can make music unshackled from the computer. Slow going

Legatus

Legatus is a game I made for a 1 week gamejam at work. It won 2nd place! 🙂
