lyrics

« Glass and Herbs » was made around May 2020. I have forgotton what modules I used and what the patch was like, and my system has changed quite a bit since then. The patch likely included the use of the Pittsburgh Lifeforms Touch Controller running through the Toppobrillo Quantimator for the melodic patterns. Oscillators likely the Mannequins Mangrove for the bass, but I'm really not sure about the rest. Looks like I had a 10hp Marbles back then, so that might have contributed to the melodic & rhythmic patterns. I probably also used the Pittsburgh Timetable clock divider/logic (one of my all-time favourite modules) to trigger and shift the timing of things.
This photo from May 2020, so this is probably close to the kind of setup I used (but not this patch)...

Skeleton Keys

Each of these tracks are skeleton keys that open a portal into another dimension. As such, they are all wonderful in their own right. This release reaches back in time to an age of analog semi-generative ambient exploration. Very much worth a listen. 69dragynz

The album which first introduced me to ambient, although not the first one I owned... an experience that is both wistful and soothing, never too dark yet not suited to being described as joyful. One of Hainbach's finest works. Dimitriy Dzyuba
