Noise and the Beauty
This Saturday the 30th May 2020 is World Drone Day and I will be streaming live from my little studio in Bega, Australia!
This will be my first ever attempt at streaming, so let’s see how it will all work out!

Hopefully there will be other people from the AE Modular Forum that will participate, see the post below for more info:

In this video I’m deconstructing the patch of my previous performance, the 5 Oscillator drone.
An ambient drone using 5 oscillators, 1 sub oscillator and the Solina String Machine of the AE Modular system from tangible waves. Using various VCAs, filters and envelopes it’s possible to create changing and varied soundscapes that always on the edge of the resonant filters which adds a special ring to it.
It was a fun journey, fuelled by GAS and not knowing what to do and how to do it. But now I feel that with my latest acquisitions I have narrowed it down to the essentials: The AE Modular from tangible waves for for modular experimentation, the Deluge from Synthstrom Audible for all sequencing, sampling, looping and beats and now for all the digital and bombastically orchestral sounds – the brand new Korg Wavestate. For FM sounds I also have the Korg Volca FM, but currently I’m not sure when I will have time for it.
With these instruments I have now finally no more excuses. I can (theoretically) make any sound that I would ever want. The Deluge can play any sample and even single cycle waveforms. The Wavestate has a store of over 1000 different sounds that can be morphed, cycled and shaped.
NO MORE EXCUSES.
This is my very first album release on Bandcamp. This is a selection of some ambient tracks that I’ve posted on YouTube just to get my feet wet with creating a Bandcamp album. I also think that these tracks work well together as an ambient soundtrack.
All sounds were created with the AE Modular system from tangible waves.
Pay what you like, I hope you enjoy this.
