Modular, one take — 18 October 2026

Six voices played from one string controller, chords by hand, no computer.

Drums, bass, chord swells, stabs and granular textures come from a small sequencer I wrote for the Ornate Criminal (a Eurorack module on a Teensy, Phazerville firmware). Each voice has a bank of patterns and three levels of intensity. The string sets how busy the drums and bass are and sweeps the effects. Chords are played by hand and harmonised in the case.

Direct mixer recording from the Befaco OUT into Bitwig, lined up with the room video afterwards (so apologies if not entirely in sync)
