Shambolic Modular Workout

Around March/April of 2020, I made the decision to finally start putting together a modular synth after several years of hemming and hawing about it. Initially, I got interested in the eurorack format from a sound designer's perspective; The idea of having a very immediate, hands-on interface for generating and shaping abstract sounds really appealed to me.

I did not get into it planning to make sequenced music. Musical events happened largely by accident in the process of familiarizing myself with modules and I found that I really enjoyed the process of programming sequences. As such, my setup works double duty as a sandbox for sound design and as a general-purpose groovebox. While it's a lot of fun to crank out little ditties, I still have a lot to learn about programming certain modules and mixing things live.

Lastly, I know the video quality leaves a lot to be desired. After seeing the results, I quickly ordered a much newer (and presumably much better) webcam, so any future uploads should have significantly improved image quality and jitter.
