Music Projects
For the vernissage of “Who needs context anywa y?” a photography exhbition by my friend Boris and part of the Record Store Day special at Modularfiled I played a live performance of my current modular synth set. The music was acompanied with visuals on the wall via a high resolution short throw projector, synced to the beat of the music.
Who needs context anywa y?
On the second night of Blender Conference 2024 I played an 2 hour set of modular madness with live rendered Visuals. I had so much fun that night and had so many good responses the following days.
Blender Conference 2024
When Orllewin created a call¹ for ambient and noise music from the Merveilles Community, I knew that I wanted to join. Very excited, I started experimenting with noise, recordings and feedback again. Remembering that I had multiple iPhone field recordings from 2018 to 2022 that had not been unearthed before, things got interesting. The one recording that struck me the most was from 2021, an innocent recording of rain dripping through our flat’s balcony. If only I knew back then that this serious amount of rain days after a long drought would push from below the ground into our own basement. Would capture my partner in a 4 hour traffic jam. Erode the landscape so much that a whole neighborhood would be rendered uninhabitable and cost people their lives.²

Self-Patching is Encouraged is an exploration in working with feedbackloops and self-osciliation inside the mixer. There is a constant rise of feedback noise from the outputs of the effects going back into the mixer. The whole thing is then – similar to side chainging on a compressor – controlled by the inverse envelope follower of the Mutable Instruments Ears module.

Starting in 2020, I fulfilled a dream and put together a modular “Eurorack” synthesizer. Usually counted in HP (width) and U (height) this build went from 98HP 3U to double its size in 2022. I keep recording my experiments and live performances on this ever growing system. You can find links to youtube videos of the recordings here:
