Exploring dark drones with this small eurorack system. Vhikk X is being processed by two Rings in parallel, with CV crossfading between the dry and resonated signals. Extended video on YouTube.

#darkambient #drone #dronemusic #eurorack #modularsynth

Processing field recordings through the fixed filters of @worng.bsky.social SoundStage II. A crossfader is patched to randomly fade between the mid and high-mid filters, and another random CV is modulating the filter depth.

Recordings from Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory, Australia.

Acoustic guitar transformed into warm drones, recorded to an old cassette tape and played at a slower speed, then built into a generative modular patch for infinite playback.
