Building (Piano and Modular Improvisation)

Coming back to the modular on a really hot day. This time connecting a quite minimal piano pad from Morphagene with two sequences on my usual Even VCO and BF22 combo. On this one I just sat down and played without really preparing something. I think it’s a good way to change up your flow a bit, switching between more prepared pieces and just total train of thought improvisation.

Patch notes:

For the synth voice Yarns is generating two sequences for my two Even VCOs. Those are going through the BF-22 into the Hexmix VCA and finally for some delay into the DLD. The piano pad sound is Morphagene going into Clouds. I was thinking about doing something more sophisticated but ended up just putting a bit of reverb on the sound.

The piano is recorded with two Oktava Mk-012s.

Unsure (Piano Improvisation)

This one ended up without modular. I thought about adding some texture or accompaniment from the synthesizer, but I really liked the simple mood that the piano is generating here. Just me finding my way on the piano seeing where those first few chords take me.

 So not too much to say about the patch. The piano is recorded using two Octava M12s and is running through a Thermionic Culture Vulture before being recorded. I added some light reverb in post processing.
