I gave a lecture on getting into modular synthesis and the fundamentals on using your modular synth for @hearding.cats.collective at the @stlouispubliclibrary this Saturday. I had a great time, and hope to do more of these in the future. Modular synthesis changed my life, and it might change yours. #modularsynth #synthdiy #arturia #minibrute2s #eurorack #rackbrute6u https://www.instagram.com/p/BwCRGKzDmEw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pj0h99p5lc6u

Preparing myself to teach my first class on an introductory to modular synthesis for @hearding.cats.collective and @stlouispubliclibrary and I came up with this nice little patch. I use these note combinations a lot, because, well, it always sounds nice. Full video on my YouTube, check out the class on April 6th at the St. Louis public Library downtown. It is free and starts at 4, hope to see you there. #eurorack #modularsynth #synthdiy #arturia #minibrute2s #minibrute2 @arturia_official https://www.instagram.com/p/BvHbBl7jvYv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12qoyhw5at4ff

I made a new video this morning. I used my Arturia Minibrute 2s to control my Buchla Music Easel, and did a verse through my looper.

Keeping in the trend to try new music styling, I built this patch this morning, sort of on accident. The Arturia Minibrute 2s continues to justify its purchase, and the Turing Machine continues to be invaluable. The 3rd voice is from the Steffcorp 2600 VCO, and it is being filtered through a Ripples.

I tried to make some hip hop using my Turing Machine to drive my Arturia Minibrute 2s, and it turned out pretty cool. Not my normal style, but I figured it was time to branch out.

Finally got my Arturia Minibrute 2s... and it is GLORIOUS. This is definitely a video to listen to with headphones. If you have ever been on the fence about modular synthesis, this is an awesome way to get your feet wet. This is my first jam with it, and I am not even quite sure how I got the sequence, but I like it, so I am not complaining.

@dantelerae challenged me to try to write something I normally wouldn't. While I did have some moments that are standard Heath, I tried to get way out of my comfort zone. I call this piece Lifecycle, and I think I will keep on working on it, dial it in a bit. https://youtu.be/MFKGLrLuwxQ #modularsynth #synthdiy #buchlamusiceasel #208p #youtube #challengeaccepted #comfortzone #andnowforsomethingcompletelydifferent

The 208p was taking me places tonight, based on a song I have been working on. This version was inspired by the movie/book Annihilation. Check out the whole video on my YouTube. #modularsynth #synthdiy #buchlamusiceasel #208p #youtube #annihilation #timefordinner

Rainy day sketch. Turns out that building a Buchla is like buying a used Harley Davidson, you spend more time fixing it than you do playing it. #modularsynth #synthdiy #buchlamusiceasel #208p #harleydavidson listen to this one with headphones.

After listening to Black Sabbath Vol. 4 today, I felt inspired to try something I have always joked about, STONER SYNTH METAL!!! I had fun trying this, it was a great way to get further acquainted with my 208p, and I actually think it could work. https://youtu.be/rJ-b5JknTNA #buchlamusiceasel #208p #synthdiy #modularsynth #stonermetal #blacksabbath
