As a fellow modular user and seeing some comments here... do you even consider this as music? (Do you care?) Sometimes i like following or maintain my music under some rules of rythym and harmony. But sometimes i find that what i want to express is beyond those rules, this generally doesn't mean that i want to do atonal music or random noises... is something else. But then when the job is done i get the kind of comments you get and then realize im not able to express anything as the listeners tend to just hear noise or a sequence of unrelated sonic events (sounds like a good name for a project 🤣) So anyway i like what you did here and kinda makes me feel is connected to some of my creations, im curious to read what is your take /side about this kind of aspects i mention. Thanks
Sometimes it is just atonal "noise" and "sequences of unrelated sonic events" but I take leaf out of Stockhausen's et al creative output - some of the "music" from the avant garde and Music Concrete era really defies categorisation (even though, by attaching such labels, it then becomes categorised!). Even MakeNoise will describe the Strega as an "alchemical experiment" rather than an instrument in the truest form. I side with the experimental feel for my current content, although I have previously also made videos with a strong rhythmic base. At the end of the day, I am just documenting my explorations and I appear to have found a platform and an audience that appreciates those deep dives.
@@BottleMakesMusic ok, got it, thanks for the reply 😀 So on the cases where you document your explorations (as a sound journal I guess ) do you think it is more important the experience itself (and its register) rather than the sonic result?
It's difficult to really explain the process - sometimes I will have an emotional response to the material, like where it leads me, what do I feel after patching something and letting it run etc. Sometimes, I end up not liking the initial result, but then let it marinate for a while before committing to publishing it. I think it's important to capture the experience but also remain truthful to the intent behind it so in that way I'll often explain the process and the patching ideas in the description, so that other like-minded folk can see what goes into making the video.
@@BottleMakesMusic very clear, thanks for taking the time to explain. I think a lot of things you mention throw light into certain aspects of my creation process and output. Is interesting to know what others think and feel in this field of creativity that is way more subjective than others (if that is a possibility 🤣) Thanks again ☺️
Interesting associations! Shall have to look into those genres in more detail. I guess Bristol Dubstep developed from trip-hop pioneers like Tricky, Portishead and Massive Attack?
Beauty is in the eye (or, well, ear anyway) of the beholder. A wise man once said that "the line between genius and insanity is measured only by success". I try to stay on one side of the line. Which side is only determined by the viewer!

great for bristol dubstep or neurofunk 😱😱😱

Good song, are you making MP3's?
Thanks! No current plans, although once I have enough material, particularly with the Music Easel, I may consider creating a sample pack/stems etc.
modular bros making music directly on the line of unlistenable, and thats how progress is made.
