30 day modular synth deep dive/composition challenge (sketches inside)

[NegativeEase]

I like a lot of these tones... nice work..

Sometimes when I get stuck, I go and listen to things like Ulrich Schnauss "ASIP" or Far Away Train' and Brian Eno "Music for Airports" and other artist's work that focus more on tone, mood and ambience and less on arrangement and melody..

It's like a mental reset button for me.

Thanks for commenting, NegativeEase. This may be a stretch for you, but I would strongly recommend Gavin Bryars as well.

Oh yeah, that's been making the rounds! That type of synthesis has been around for ages, I think the first commercial release using plants as voltage sources was by Stevie Wonder on The Secret Life Of Plants.

And with that, the 30 day challenge is complete! This has been a crazy, unexpected, educational, and inspirational journey and one that I'm very glad that I undertook. I would recommend something similar to anyone with any instrument, it really helped me savor the exploration over the destination.

With that said, I've now got about 13 minutes completed of the actual modular composition, should be able to complete it in good order now. Stay tuned!
