This week’s Drone Of The Week is the first music I made on my new\u00a0 Modular Synthesizer – thank you, Bellows, for assembling this Thing Of Beauty for me, and thank you, Konny, for help with raising the funds.<\/p>\n

I recorded it live on four tracks, which I mixed to stereo using my DAW software. Careful, please, mind your ears and loudspeakers. It has a huge dynamic range, and there are some very high energy deep bass notes.

\"\"The synthesizer can be called “finished” now. I can use it to compose music, to design new sounds, and to play live\u2026 but\u2026 are modular synthesizers really ever finished? I look at it as an open-ended development project. Right now, there are still four modules of the initial configuration missing – they are in the post \u2026 and next spring, I plan to add some new functionality to it.<\/p>\n

I have already integrated it into the interface of my Cork City Gamelan sample player, and I can perform on both simultaneously and record the performance on multiple tracks. From December onwards, it (and myself) will be available for soundtracking, installations, performance, custom sound design and also seminars and demonstrations.<\/p>\n

As a long term goal, I must develop a range of ways and techniques to interact with it which are suitable for people with physical disabilities.<\/p>\n
