Here's a highlight from my 60th Brixton Radio show, broadcast this Monday.
This section with sounds I will describe as 'industrial dance' seemed to go down particularly well.
My radio show is also broadcast on my Twitch channel - and there are normally lots of people from the Hive community - especially players of @risingstargame hanging out in the Twitch channel and generally catching up.
I’m fresh from HiveFest too - having taken the bottom left case from my ‘modular wall’ with me to Amsterdam. I was pleased to find that my scheme of having that case with all my essential modules and the one above it an optional extension to it worked well and slotting things back together took only minutes. (Not the many hours it can sometimes take me to repatch/reconfigure it!)
Patch Notes
The key module used in this section is called Basimilus Iteritas Alter (BIA) from Noise Engineering. It is actually a digital (FM) module designed primarily for percussion and bass. But here I'm using it with heavy modulation over many of it's parameters to create much of the groove you can hear in this highlight video.
The good news is that this was done mostly with modules in the core case, so I could save some of these patterns and at least replicate an approximation of this groove in a future live gig.
Out Today
Today my two tracks that made up Ethereal 2 (my recent vinyl release) both came out on streaming services, So everyone can now listen to them via:
https://ffm.to/ethereal2
The style is lofi/chill beats - and although my modular synth is used in these tracks they are primarily sequenced/produced using Ableton Live(on the computer). They also include piano played by myself and recorded from my trusty Nord Piano 2.
There were only between 30 and 35 vinyls made by the label, OAKHI Records. I do have a portion of that supply to sell at gigs and for prizes so if you are interested in getting hold of one and likely to see me in person at some point, get in touch. I was already very happy to present the first prize of an Ethereal 2 vinyl to @tibfox - who won my contest at HiveFest!
Thanks
Some extra special thanks to a few people for your recent support:
- To @roelandp for the opportunity to perform at #HiveFest - it was loads of fun and I made so many great connections!
- To @pixiepost - for all your support but especially for supporting my Twitch streams and doing your moderator thing - thank you!
- To @yidneth, @dadspardan, @stickupboys and @mypathtofire - for watching me and supporting me on the HiveFest live stream - I watched back today and read your comments in the chat and really appreciate it!
Finally
I'm working on a number of new projects right now - I have a video coming soon based on footage from my Electronic in the Tower gig. I am working on new modular sets to be previewed on my Brixton Radio show, and then gigged in London over the coming 2 months. And of course I am working on new music: another lofi/chill beat track for the next release on OAKHI Records, and 2 or 3 collaborations too!
So back to the studio for me... thanks for watching, and have a wonderful day Hive!

Oh maaaan nice tunes!! I still have to make the post about the beautiful vinyl I've won and people should check out NOW :D
Thank you so much! Here's another clip from Monday's radio show using the HiveFest audio clips again (including yours!):
It was such a cool and creativer idea to make it! Next time I will join again for sure :)
Was it a random gate or how did you cut the voices in that random kind? And did you also used the machine to overlay them over each other or was it pre-layered?
Ok so I'm using a module called Beads which is a granular sampler. It basically slices up all the audio you send to it into small slices (called grains) and then lets you manipulate how those get played back. So they can be of different lengths, start times (even reversed), repitched, chopped, overlayed etc. Then add reverb and delay to get the crazy crowd sound. But I like using speech samples chopped very small with it as a kind of percussion instrument.
This is so cool. I have no idea what you are doing or why it does. Everything I use is digital synths like Native Instruments etc, I have no idea how analog synths work, not even a clue. It's really cool to see this in action. Even though I have no idea what you are doing :)
Interestingly a lot of the modules are actually digital (though some are analog of course). The possibly more important difference is that they all have physical controls and that the interface between them is analog (control voltage - it's basically a continuous voltage where in a DAW/soft synth you might use (midi) control parameters. The fundamentals are the same - but there's a lot more physical plumbing (cables) involved!
Thanks for checking it out and commenting!
Amazing work man! Love your music!
Thanks so much!
