Capitulation Engine.

I’ve assembled a new Eurorack-centric instrument around a novel control interface (AtoVproject Faderpunk) that has been programmed to “Scan” through an assortment of Digital FM Synthesis methods & Sample Libraries; this after being asked to perform at Pianos just prior to Christmas, wanting a clean break from the “Playthroughs” performances given in the year prior.

I’ve just posted up a set of Work In Progress recordings made while building & rehearsing (which includes the gig itself as a bonus track); this is how I’ve been using Bandcamp recently & I’ve found that it’s a great way to share ideas without necessarily having to commit to their final form. Seeing as all of this is, essentially, is under the umbrella of “Live” Electronic Music (improvised & captured to two-track stereo in real time, then mastered for listening) being somewhat ephemeral about it makes sense.

Speaking of Bandcamp; I urge you to consider a Subscription ($30/yr grants you instant access to everything posted, along with the historical record); everyone else is encouraged to chip in (or not, no worries either way!) All of this to directly fund the research & development of this practice, as well as carve out the time & energy otherwise spent on far more crass enterprises.
