Sliders only Buchla 208c Easel Command avant-garde west coast synthesizer improvisation

This live improvisation with the Buchla 208c Easel Command was made to again combine an idea from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi about doing less and accomplishing more with the limitation of only using the sliders and knobs. The musical goal was to make something that develops over time by making small gradual changes to the sliders for maximum effect. I'm using a 5 note augmented arpeggio in the modulation oscillator to set a repeating pattern against a rhythmic timbre change in the complex oscillator. I am mostly changing the pulsar to pitch parameter on the complex oscillator, the speed of the pulsar, the amount of reverb, and the amount of random speed of the pulsar.

Patch Notes:
Buchla 208c Easel Command to audio interface directly.
Cross modulation with complex oscillator going back into the modulation oscillator
Envelope generator to low pass gate and pitch of complex oscillator.
Pulsar to modulation amount and inverted to low pass gate of modulation oscillator
Sequential voltage to timbre and pitch of modulation oscillator.
Random voltage to decay and speed of pulsar

I find the Easel's reverb to be a very "playable" dimension of its voices. I appreciate how you included it as part of your enabling constraints.

Great patch! Sounds like an orchestra with an alien opera singer.
