Liner Notes: 

the third modular experiment in a series from approximately the same "mega-patch."

this is the longest and perhaps my least favorite of the three so far, but i did try to use some synth modules in new ways here...

the main "interesting" thing here is that i build up and end the piece by changing the step length of the melodic sequence from 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 steps before kicking into another gear (and likewise in reverse on the way out). the rhythms for all the voices remain constant, but the notes they play changes; i think it's subtle but kinda cool... this isn't the most pleasing outcome but it makes me want to try to experiment with this further...

for fuller explanation of how things are wired up, see:
---> vacillant (http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/song/51742)
---> vicissitudinous (http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/song/51778)

modifications this time around:
---> the bass line is controlled by a hihat trigger, whereas the treble/alto use kick/snare triggers
---> i added a 4th percussion voice (basimilus iteratus alter), playing a snarish sound triggered by the pulse output of the turing machine
---> switched up the euclidean sequences to 4 (kick), 6 (snare), 10 (hihat/tambourine sound)
---> reverb pedal set to the "spring" setting



Please keep your comments respectful, honest, and constructive. Please focus on the song and not the demo.

I like how this came out. I'm familiar with modules but I've never been disciplined enough to fully understand how I can use them (especially since I have so may plug-ins that allow for experimentation). You've got a Kraftwerky vibe going but that's somewhat of an easy comparison. I do know that it takes a great deal of creativity, patience and know-how to pull this off. I dig it!

Having listened to some of your music before I knew exactly what I was in for. Right off the bat it sounded familiar. This song got into a nice rhythmic pattern. No idea how you do what you do but I enjoyed listening to this.

Love the marching feeling of this song... sounds really interesting. Then it goes into a robotic samba groove that got me moving. Really cool!
