Riemann’s World: A special Day for Leopold

Today is a special day. That’s why I expanded Mantikor with – Bloom!

Mantikor’s Journey: Departure

A few weeks ago, I described how the combo of Granturismo and Groove Riemann could turn into Mantikor. Only now that it’s come to this, the end result is quite different. This is the first chapter of Mantikor’s journey through Riemann’s World.

“Riemann’s World” – an exercise in not programming (sequencers)

I recently talked about “Granturismo” – a setup thing where I played with not programming (or recording) sequences.

This has now turned into “Riemann’s World” – what others might call an ecosystem but which is rather a set of sets in a metric space.

“Granturismo” – and other non-programmable techno machines

I played with a setup that plays loopable random melodies to make techno. Now I’m thinking about making the drums random, too.

Using and Knowing Modules (an emotional statistic)

The title is somewhat misleading, as it often is: looking at the current TNG Mothership, I subjectively try to figure out how often I use each module, and how well I know it. Are there any interesting result?

Synth Thoughts: Modular Designs (past and present)

I looked through the old (and new) designs of modular things I had on modulargrid.net. Time to discuss, and retire some of them.

Synth Thoughts: A Drum Voice for the TNG Mothership

Pretty much an ongoing discussion: I’d like to remove Motion/Mental from the Mothership to use it as the Mescaline monolith, but retain the ability to make unusual percussive sounds. This is the discussion.

Spielsachen Generations

Rather than a lot of babbling, this is a series of photos and videos about anything related to Spielsachen – everything since September 2017.

Review: Folktek Mescaline

The final one of my three grooveboxes is slightly…different: The Folktek Mescaline is a set of three Eurorack modules which come mounted to a shiny frame and use breadboard wires for most of the patching. Let’s see what you can do with it.

Fifty Spielsachen: Personal Picks

“Spielsachen” has been going on for quite some time (more than two years), and resulted in fifty videos to date.
Here’s my personal picks from that pool of modular thing performances – what are yours?
