Desire Path Quartet. The works in this quartet have evolved over a number of months summer through autumn and into winter 2024. I say 'evolved' with distinct purpose. They are study works; an evolution of my understanding of the principles of modular synthesis and the art of manipulating voltage through the intermediary of electronic circuitry. A learning process using VCV Rack software that emulates hardware modules. The self-generative, non repeating patterns where the human intervation element is confined to building the generative structures have produced astonishing symetries and conjunctions; harmonies and dissonance modulate. The techniques are those of the early pioneers: and the first two albums of Cluster, spring to mind.
Desire paths : the chosen route. Here are my four chosen routes. A quartet of modular self generation pure synthesis, each a development of the preceeding piece.
I hope these works speak for themselves. They have their own language as do other of my works, and are distinctly Landschaft in mood-feel, but are just a little different. I considered incorporating them as one long album, but I think they sit better as islands on their own. I'm offering them at GBP 2.00 each for a while, probably until the new year. It would help me a lot if you could share these works among your friends.
