Modular dub
All live from analog circuits, no samples or midi or computers

five years ago #EarthModularSociety did our first.. or maybe second... back to back stream train that we planned in advance and advertised. We made a poster and everything for "Modular Valentine"
here's my set from five years ago today, a few genders ago
i remember that i patched past the Grandmother's smooth Moog filter into Ikarie instead and got this gnarly drone that sounds like an angry printer.
this is before my friend said "forestine, you need to give people's ears a break" and gave me some free mixing lessons 😆

Still valentines day for a couple more hours in my time zone, anyway
here's me trying to explain what's going on in the patch above for our "Explanuary" prompt
here's the rehearsal version of the set i played for Electro Experimental Tuesday last night, streamed from home on #earthmodularSociety

#earthmodularsociety was recently featured in a research article about modular synth communities.
Earth Modular Society (EMS) is a cross-platform community dedicated to live hardware modular synthesis, with their primary efforts going into a 24/7 modular “radio station” that livestreams on Twitch and YouTube, and a supporting Discord chat server. Although part of the broader modular synthesis gear culture (a large-scale social formation that coalesces around specific classes of fetishized technical objects), EMS represents a new development in gear cultures as it foregrounds live performance and minimizes the accrual of status via conspicuous consumption. The normative governance structures of platform-specific gear culture communities preclude all but one or a handful of users from having any meaningful input into the rules, governance, or participatory modes of the platform. In contrast, EMS is structured as a doitocracy, where all are encouraged to bring things to do to the community, and to support each other in doing. The doitocracy concept contributes to understanding the wide range of DIY (do-it-yourself) and DIT (do-it-together) community practices. This doitocracy case study also demonstrates the importance of analyzing the performance of crafted objects, and how these, alongside platform-jumping practices, can constitute primary organizational forces in online/offline community sociality.
Oh my latest stream on #earthmodularSociety has been uploaded to our archive channel.
Here I'm trying my new Klima and Kiel atmospheric logic modules to ping filters and trigger melodic sounds. The Klima makes a set of triggers using a sensor which detects barometric pressure, temperature, humidity, and altitude, and the Kiel creates random modulation voltage based on it.

I've apparently streamed 36 hours of improvised music last year. That's a lot of music.
I used the same patch as before but tried to make a more energetic, walking around town tune.

Funny for it takes lots of careful patching to make gentle sweet sounds. Crazy aggro noises come for free with modular. 😂
