#synth composer notes

Eternal Witness pt.1 from VoltageCtrlR on Vimeo.

For my very Auspicious 108th post I thought I would put up a complex synth patch to explore and re discover for the next few days.

AUM

After chillin' under the moon light last night absorbing the lunar frequencies I was motivated to re-explore a synth patch I made the night prior... 

I call it the eternal witness patch, it's a pretty complex patch involving almost all of the synth modules in my 18u setup... it's a blend of a few sub systems that I can continue to explore for as long as it stays interesting. I have some rhythmic elements, melody and lots of randomness that I can weave in and out of for what seems like an eternity. The random part of the patch is really engaging and adds an element of surprise. I plan on making a few more compositions with this patch before I tear it down and start on a new sonic journey. Until then I will continue to witness what kind of energy comes out of this living machine of sound and vibration.

This is yet another expression of the Eternal Witness patch from the previous video. So many different vibrations, rhythms and energies are found in this complex patch portal. I wonder where it will lead me next...

Mangala War Cry

Mangala is the vedic deity associated with the red planet know as Mars. He is the god of war. Mangala rides on a golden chariot drawn by eight red horses.His attributes are a club spear and trident.This composition is my interpretation of Mangala's energy.The white noise rhythm in the beginning of the piece represents him sharpening his weapons and preparing for a great battle, next the white noise kind of morphs into a rhythmic movement, this is the sound of the horses walking around and getting ready. When the melody creeps in, it's a representation of Mangala tuning in and planning his attack. At 3:24 into the piece is when the great battle takes place. The battle ground is self, the opposing forces are the light and dark that exist in us all.
