Richard Scott - Bubbletek
Richard Scott is one of my favorite forward thinking improvisational composers creating some very interesting and inspiring work in the modular synth scene.
I really like the driving rhythm in this composition.

Benge - Harmuna
I'm really enjoying this Benge - Harmuna album this afternoon.
<a href="http://zackdagoba.bandcamp.com/album/harmuna-2" data-mce-href="http://zackdagoba.bandcamp.com/album/harmuna-2">Harmuna by Benge</a>
Harmuna - Exploring the Inner Reaches Harmuna is intended as a companion piece to the previous work by Benge entitled Abstraxa. The five compositions featured on Harmuna were similarly realised on the Buchla modular synthesiser. For more information on the specific system and modules used please refer to the notes accompanying Abstraxa which can be found here: zackdagoba.bandcamp.com/album/abstraxa If Abstraxa was an exploration of the distant reaches of the sound universe, Harmuna is a journey in the opposite direction, inverting the mind’s eye and exploring the infinite space within The Synthesiser was set up in such a way that harmonious tone-waves were layered upon themselves and rhythmic patterns built up to form the various pieces. The resulting tone poems can be experienced in various ways, for example as meditative deep-listening (i.e. with headphones) or in the background to serve as an ambient aural setting Track Listing: 1 - Pathway (4.59) 2 - Gyrus (6.20) 3 - Cortex (7.07) 4 - Globus (5.07) 5 - Nuclei (6.48) Total Duration (30.18)

Nord's Music for N,N-Dimetyltryptamin
is a very experimental album (online release only at the moment on Vicmod Records/Australia) recorded on the Buchla 200e modular system exclusively. It contains elements of my ”classic” style, but it goes beyond that in terms of experimentation, methodology and goals. It is not an album about drugs. To actually say that this is music for something like DMT is ironic – you will most probably not be taking notice of music at all when taking DMT. It does make you high, but not in the traditional sense of the word. It separates your consciousness from your body. It makes you leave your body. It raises serious questions about what we really are. Or more specifically, how the human mind works – that was my inspiration.

I Dream of Wires: Carl Craig - Modular Pursuits
Being that I grew up in the inner city of Los Angeles Carl Craig has been an inspiration to me because he has always creatively colored outside the lines of what's expected from a musician from the inner city. I have to admit I got a little geeked to see this interview.
In April 2012, the I Dream of Wires team met with legendary Detroit techno producer Carl Craig, to discuss his electronic music influences and production experiences, including his recent interest in eurorack modular synthesis. Craig's experiments in modular synthesis are best heard on 2010's "Modular Pursuits" 12-inch, released under his No Boundaries alias.

zweitesystem 20110917
I've been discovering some really great modular synth artist lately.
System Test by zweitesystem is a really well composed project that I've been listening to this morning. Zweitesystem describes this project as "A selection of semi-automatic and self-playing patches done on a small Buchla 200e, recorded in 2011 live to two tracks with no editing and too much reverb."
This is the kind of album you sit and listen to in some really high quality headphones and just close your eyes and absorb the frequencies, sounds and texture of the compositions.
Here's a video for one of the songs on the project.
You can download the album at: zweitesystem.bandcamp.com

Celestial Sonic Boom Bap
Celestial Sonic Boom Bap is an audible journey pertaining to the spiritual or invisible space contained within us all and up into the endless world we know as the heavens or the universe. The vibrational yantra you see in the picture is a sonic diagram or map to the energy system your hearing. Meditate with the sound yantra and be teleported into a different dimension.

Piston Honda Sketchbook Vol.1
The Piston Honda is a digital wavetable oscillator designed by Scott Jaeger (The Harvestman) with 2-dimensional waveform morphing. Two ROMs are onboard, each containing 256 waveforms in 16 banks. Waves may be smoothly morphed or violently jumped in two dimensions.
Given that this is one of my favorite oscillators in my system I thought I would start conducting some sonic experiments to explore this modules capabilities, quirks and character. This is a collection of sonic sketches / patches from the mind of VoltageCtrlR were recorded at Akashic Mountain Studios in AZ.

released 06 May 2012 All compositions were recorded live in one take featuring VoltageCtrlR tweaking the dials and controls. Mixed and mastered by Shiro Fujioka at Akashic Mountain Studios. Piston Honda cover sketch in colored pencil by Shiro Fujioka
