Think-Aloud Patching | Session 1 - Buchla 200e

Part 1 of a series of 'think-aloud' sessions, designed to capture 'reflections-in-action' as I'm building modular synthesis patches on a variety of systems. This video forms part of a research project aimed at analysing the practice of modular synthesis patching, contextualising my compositional approach with theories of material engagement, and Gilbert Simondon's philosophy of technology. In particular, I am interested in the process of 'concretisation' that occurs in the development of a modular synthesis patch, and the way in which musical intentions, and human and material agency co-evolve with a machine that grows in complexity and interconnectedness throughout a patching session.

Very cool concept to think out loud and record whatever happens!

Just stumbled across this series of long form think-aloud patching. Love it. This is a concept that I think has been sorely missing on RUclips, especially for Buchla content, and I've even contemplated trying it myself soon. I think Buchla lends itself very well to this format.

Thanks - much appreciated 🙏

this is fantastic. thank you for sharing the process Benjamin!

and after a brief encounter with a local 200e, i share your sentiments about the digital artefacts present in some of these modules... the aliasing you mentioned is apparent, also in the 266e

Awesome. Hoping for some more Think-Alouds, especially Buchla! Great way to learn the process. Thank you.

That was great. Very clearly explained and interesting hearing you think things through. Looking forward to more if you do any.
