I didn't use a quantizer; I adjusted it by ear, so it's a nice, microtone sound.#experimental #modularsynth #generativemusic

Hi there, I'm currently exploring ways to simplify layers as much as possible and free myself from the DAW. For example, I'm doing it like this. #experimental #synth #modularsynth #VCVRACK2

Hi experimental guys, uploading an EP to Bandcamp next weekend. Immerse yourself in a constantly changing, kaleidoscopic soundscape. It's a rhapsody using both hard and soft synths. #synth #experimental #vcvrack2 #modular

Hi, independent artists like us don't want to repeat the same things over and over; we want to keep creating different forms of expression. The new EP “Time to Collapse“ cover photo coming this weekend on Bandcamp. Check it out!

The structure of each synth, whether hardware or software, has a major impact on composition, but also places limitations on it. I was conscious of this point and used a variety of synths on this year's album. Today, I started production by making cassette tape loops, a well-established technique.
