about

Closing out the fourth leg/season/section of Vibratelepathos with the eightieth release is the (aptly numbered) fourth Apennine Hashish session, exploring a deliberately easy and accessible patch with the as3340 "Curtis chip" oscillator in the major pentatonic scale. Supplementally, other FX processors were involved, such as two iterations of Mutable Instruments' Clouds (running the Parasites alternative firmware), Strymon's Magneto four-head tape delay and Starlab reverberator and Noise Engineering's Versio (running the superb Reticulum Versio firmware for a multi-part asynchronous delay - thank you David Briggs).

All of this, as usual, accumulates into a cloudy dream of warm synthesis that hardly resembles the novel angular waveforms of the 3340 VCO, and thanks to prodigious multing and stereo processing of the original monophonic signal, this one seed of a sound becomes a forest to get lost within. I say forest here, because some aspect of this session reminded me of Wolfgang Voigt's perennial GAS project, although if I'm honest this is more of a feeling rather than being able to point at any specific aspect of the music.

I made the point to close the fourth leg of Vibratelepathos with the 3340 also because it was the very first oscillator in my now considerable modular system, back in January of 2020. It was graciously mailed to me by SSDP in Canada, along with a switch mixer, a mult/inverter and a phaser, in exchange for mastering work I was doing at that time. In those early days, the 3340 was used for not just tonal work, but as a clock signal generator and even as the genesis for a primitive system of procedural techno (on the Coppice Halifax albums 'Aro' and 'Interkovris' for those curious). It paved the way forward for a long list of purposes and processes that I now use other tools for in my modular system, but still it remains installed as the first module at the top left of my main rack, and hopefully 'Apennine Hashish IV' illustrates just how much love I have for this oscillator now.

Tigress effortlessly gliding between the stoned, dusty grooves with that instantly identifiable "just behind the beat" bass line - one of my all time favourites amongst many from Brian's myriad milieu of mazey marvels. da5idh
