@compucorder64 2 года назад

Rings was the first module that got me into modular too. Especially because one of my all time favourite artists, R Beny, is a modular Olympic Champion of the Double Rings. Nice demonstration, with lovely musical examples. And the dusting of bitcrushing on rings drone, lovely, never thought of that, it's like a pixelated fairy dust on digital bells. It's a little like Taylor Deupree's very earliest releases, like the Stil LP, which I love. I also like those glitchy video edits. And you have a good voice presentation style but still mostly leave the sounds speak for themselves. Good channel. I forgot Rings can do FM, trying it now, high feedback driven hard into Ripples, sounds great.

@TheUnperson 2 года назад
