Playing the @EricaSynths Syntrx II feels like a game of chess. Not just because of the grid patch matrix but because everything you see is on the board and all of those elements have rules about how they can be moved around the sonic playing surface. Not everything can be patched, not everything is a modulation source so there are rules, limitations within the sonically limitless canvas. Its simple elements make for a complex riddle of sound design. My thought when starting a new patch is along the lines of - how can I make something different than I made before that has good performative options and would work as a long from piece of music with my signature noisy dark textured drones.
Here is the latest two improvised audiovisual recordings using the Syntrx II paired with the @beetlecrabaudio Tempera which has a couple of tracks of sampled Syntrx, a live manipulation of it and a couple of vocal samples. As usual both the audio and visuals are performed and recorded live. Two tracks, one take, warts and all. Follow the end screen link to track two Ecchymosis.
