This collection is an exploration of sounds made by my homemade modular synthesizer. Some of the tracks are fully fleshed-out pieces, others are sketches, yet others nothing more than a collection of sounds. My aim was to discover what sounds my modular wants to make, then record them. Most of the tracks feature the modular exclusively.
