This is a live electronic music improvisation to create ambient noise cinematic film scoring using only three voices: the Moog Grandmother, an Arp-2600, and a Buchla 208c Easel Command. I am using an Intellijel Planar 2 to expand the possible sounds out of the Buchla by routing the audio through four different types of effects, and then using an Intelliijel Quadrax to automatically move the joystick through the different effect quadrants. The result is an ever shifting texture that the ARP and Moog can be added to in order to create some harmonic and melodic anchor points for experimental film.

Patch Notes:
Buchla 208c Easel Command to Planar 2, then four audio outs to:
Make Noise Erbeverb with Size and Tilt randomized by Wogglebug and Frap Tools Sapèl
Monsoon (mutable instruments clouds clone) with position, density, grain size, and texture controlled from a Zlob Modular Diode Chaos and Sapèl
4ms Tapographic Delay with modulation controlled by Sapèl
Make Noise Echophon with pitch and echo modulated by Sapèl
Intellijel Planar 2 joystick position modulated by 2 channels of Quadrax in LFO mode, with Wogglebug supplying random speeds.
All four audio channels mixed back to an X-Pan modulated by Quadrax, then audio to a Boss RC-5 looper pedal, and an Eventide H9 in blackhole reverb mode.
Moog Grandmother to X-pan, heavy internal pitch and pulse width modulation.
ARP-2600: Oscillators 1 and 2 to ring modulation. Ring mod output to preamp input. Distortion X1000 output to ring mod input on VCF. Oscillator 3 in LFO mode, square wave out to oscillator 1 FM in. Both oscillators 1 and 2 making heavy use of FM from Sample and Hold circuit and the Noise circuit in Low mode. Stereo spring reverb turned up to 10 for this.
