This is such a cool journey. I'm fascinated at how people are able to extract actual music from modular setups. The initial learning hurdle seems so intimidating.
Anyways, awesome trip you took me on, thank you for that!

There's something guitar-like about that initial arp. Sounds like it's about to turn into full-blown metal. It does build up to a distorted riff, we just need some heavy drums to seal the deal

It's a cool soundscape as is, and the "industrial ambient" genre designation definitely makes sense here.

you're very welcome. week 43 is part of the same recording and builds on it. I've really enjoyed re-listening to it this week.

RE modular setups - I find it easier than using normal hardware because you can see all the routing/controls through the patch cables. I think it's all about finding the right modules too though. Everything you hear in this recording is the Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas (really angry sawtooth wave voice) being run through the Electus Versio (delay/reverb combo) and then being squished by the librae legio (think a compressor/saturator).

That's it really, just modulate the hell out of manis iteritas

I'm not sure if there's -enough- distortion though. Maybe there needs to be more

Your description makes sense though - I came from a lot of metal growing up etc so it makes sense to come through in what I do now.

Glad it's a fitting description!
