The full patch was structured around three voices: percussion, harmony, and modulation. The drum section included Glee, KickBaba, and Hihat, triggered via a 12×16 Gate Sequencer. The harmonic section used ChordCV, FM-OP, and a basic VCO, all processed through reverb and delay before mixing via MixMaster. The modulation section featured multiple LFOs, chaotic CV sources,…

This week’s session focused on improvising sound to moving image. I worked independently on two short film clips, each around 3–5 minutes. Each was played twice, with time in between for reflection and revision. I used Ableton Live for both pieces. For the second clip, taken from The Conversation (1974), I focused on recreating the…

I recorded three versions in total. The final version I submitted was chosen for its structural clarity and sonic balance. The first version ran too long and had redundant sections. While it had some strong textures, the pacing felt flat.The second version had better rhythm modulation, but the harmonic layer didn’t blend well. The chord…

This patch wasn’t designed to run itself. It’s a structure I manually built—step by step. Every connection, every modulation path, every reset condition was tested, adjusted, and fixed based on sonic behavior and control. For example, the gate sequencer’s reset input was patched to a pulse LFO whose rate was modulated by a slow chaotic…

I didn’t want melody. I was more interested in how harmony could float, rather than move forward like a musical line. My goal was to treat harmonic material as spatial texture—something that shifts, drifts, and evolves without resolution. I used ChordCV to generate root chords, FM-OP for unstable timbres, and a basic VCO for low-end…

At the start of this project, I focused on building a non-linear system shaped by fractured rhythm. The glitch drum setup was intentional. I wanted to explore how rhythm could fall apart, misfire, or rebuild itself through tension—without becoming chaos. Inside VCV Rack, I created a percussive chain using Glee, KickBaba, and Hihat modules. The…
