As a member of the Product Development team for Moog I've spent the past few years working hard on the Moog Muse - including designing a fair amount of the factory presets. While most of those presets are designed to cover a wide range of sounds and use cases I snuck a couple on that heavily reference the work of Roland Kayn. Both presets (Infra Ring K and Solaris Landing) live appropriately en...

first patch ring modulates peterlin xor to vcfq with a sine wave - both controlled by rungler. this is mixed with the peterlin audio output in the vc res eq and its bands get modulated by various peterlin outputs second and third patches have a bit less and a bit more going on... all gets a little confusing and knotted up check out my newest album Contraluz here: critiqueofeverydaylife.bandcamp...

self-organizing systems allow circuits to interfere with each other and organize themselves into musical structures. this is a bottom-up approach to music making that stands in opposition to the top-down hierarchical structures of 'generative music' in this video i describe the marxist conception of the technology fetish and how it creates an illusion in the capitalist class of technology as a ...

quick video to demonstrate the serge phaser - a 3 stage design from the 70s that i just finally finished building from PCBs made available by prism circuits. not much info out there about it, so i hope this is helpful! might have to crank the volume at the end to hear the noisy feedback tones...

felt like i had to make some content so here is...........something. this started kind of as a blippoo box patch but :shrug:

recreating the chaos generator from the ian fritz chaquo with a couple serge modules - 2 integrators (variable slope / variable q filters), xfader, and the peak module. this is a version of the driven double potential well problem from quantum mechanics and results in 3 different chaotic outputs

cybernetics as a study of motion in a system... cybernetics viewed through a dialectical lens. drawing parallels between marx's dialectical understanding of capital as a system in motion, and how to see musical systems through the same lens

building off the last video and reconstructing the hordijk benjolin/blippoo box (the chaotic core of it, anyway) with the lorre-mill double knot and serge patreon: www.patreon.com/lasynthesehumaine

freeing the stepped generator/sample-and-hold from its random linearity and using it to create chaos through interference patterns. this is a patch explained by rob hordijk here: th-cam.com/video/yYdVi_I1UBM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ChrisDavid patreon: www.patreon.com/lasynthesehumaine

creating an artificially intelligent system with the neuron as its heart and integrators (as envelope followers) to provide for adaptation and learning through feedback a bit more on the basic neuron structure - the inputs and their corresponding weights are the "dendrites", the sum of those weighted inputs is the "soma", and the nonlinearity is the "axon" patreon: www.patreon.com/lasynthesehum...

an expansion and longer exploration of the jaap vink reverb ring modulator patch featured in the last video (cybernetics V). no talking in this one and very minimal intervention on my part - letting the sounds organize themselves patreon: www.patreon.com/lasynthesehumaine

exploring reverb in the ring modulator feedback path inspired by a patch from jaap vink and kees tazelaar tazelaar's documentation is here: keestazelaar.com/music/e-pur-si-muove/ vink's work can be found here: recollectiongrm.bandcamp.com/album/s-t my patreon is here: www.patreon.com/lasynthesehumaine

starting from basic ring modulator feedback and exploring different elements that can be added in the feedback path (filtering/phase shifting, compression, resonant equalizer) if you enjoy my work and would like to help support it i have a patreon here: www.patreon.com/lasynthesehumaine thanks!
