about

Over the past year or so I have been working on a variety of generative music projects that always end up having a sort of chattering quality to them. It took me a long time to realize what drew me to this quality; I am someone who is prone to sensory overload in noisy, chattery situations, but I have happened upon a style of music which has a chattery quality but with the unenjoyably chaotic, verbal content replaced with enjoyably musical sounds. However, I thought "The Chatters" would be a bad name for a record so I called it "The Burbles."

This EP was composed and performed on a small modular synthesizer with the intention of translating the style of my computer-based generative compositions into "real world" music I can make with my hands. Most of these pieces are based on similar patches, which are driven by a monophonic step sequencer and then made two-voice polyphonic through the use of a shift register. The two oscillators are complemented by a filter, analog delay, three function generators, and a handful of utilities, with the goal of producing subtly shifting accents and textures. The final result was enhanced with a reverb plugin I built using Max.

Thanks to Pittsburgh Modular, MakeNoise, and Mutable Instruments for making such fun machines!
