about

"The aim of these studies 46 is to reveal the process of a relatively experienced synthesist learning a new instrument in real time. I spent the last ~2 years in eurorack and reached a point where my synthesizer was parsimonious and complete, then decided to buy a TTSH to deepen my practice by learning a mature instrument with a well appreciated workflow. These recordings are my first 7 sessions with the TTSH, live and unedited.

I control the TTSH using a 62hp Palette containing Ansible, Maths, Ripples, 4 VCAs, and Pamela’s New Workout. These could just as well be called Kria studies because all of the sequencing is performed with Kria, and much of the work I documented involves my process of re-learning Kria and exploring its capabilities alongside the TTSH.

I could continue posting these every day, but I think 7 is a complete number and these adequately communicate my perspective as a learner while exploring the sonic potential of the instrument within the context of my existing work.

Any feedback appreciated!"

Most of the music elsewhere in this collection is tape music which happens to leverage synthesizers as one of a few favored sound sources. I chose to call these studies to remove the veneer of composition, the magic of the opaque instrument. This is a documented process. Not a self portrait, but definitely a reflection.

I chose synthesizers because technical mastery is neither a requirement nor an advantage. Here I am trying to play with the synthesizer rather than play it. And now it sits on my desk and I adore spending 5 minutes at a time using it like a desk toy.
