Enantiomorphosis II

about

The second 'Enantiomorphosis' session continues where the first left off, exploring the voice and filter profiles of Behringer's 1004 oscillator and 1006 Filtamp low-pass filter, recreations of the VCO/VCF in the ARP 2500. This session was colored slightly by use of the Buchla 292t quad lo-pass gate, a vactrol filter and amplifier path, which was employed as a VCA opened and closed by a Buchla envelope generator in the patch. Sequencing was arranged in the Phrygian scale, with Ornament and Crime, using a Turing machine to handle timing events and octaval ranges.

Also of note - the majority of the patch used for this session was unchanged from use in 'The Severn Bore,' the post-release party ambient set that followed 'Watch the Head.' This session reorganized the VCO and the path it followed, as well as some of the modulation sent to it, and the tuning was changed from Dorian to Phrygian, with master clock adjustments made for tempo, and the pink noise generator was removed entirely, but everything else in the patch is 1:1 from 'The Severn Bore.'

Musically, it is interesting to me that both sessions with the ARP 2500 machines so far have been more melodic in nature, whereas I tend to associate the sound of this instrument with the sonorous minimalism of Eliane Radigue. I feel that eventually, or perhaps inevitably, this timbral character of the machines may yet emerge, but for now, 'Enantiomorphosis' continues to illustrate that a synthesizer is not an immutable object, but an expressive extension of the person using it. I may never find Eliane or anyone else within this machine, and perhaps true to the title I've chosen for it, I can only ever expect to find myself.
