011 / Dirge of the Ardeks / Classical? / Voltage Research Lab

Six minutes of audio cinema, mostly improvised on the VRL and Touch Controller, with accompaniment. Is this some kind of modular synth classical music? I don't know; you just have to listen.

INSTRUMENTS:
Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Research Lab
Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms SV-1b
Modular (assorted)
Korg SQ-1
Source Audio Collider

NOTES:
This piece slowly developed over two days of patching, and culminated in a mostly improvised performance. There's a drum and sub-bass coming from the modular, and a bass line coming from the SV-1b/SQ1. The voice of the VRL is a ring modulated and folded sine/saw wave layered with sine/alpha coming from the secondary oscillator. The layering is done using both function generators and dynamics controllers. various types of modulation are coming from Pam's New Workout and the Ochd. Delay and reverb added by the Collider.

RECORDING:
Everything is recorded direct, with no computer processing.
