Dries talk about “Sakura Variations – 4 studies for modular synthesizer”
These four tracks where recorded as separate patches but all in just one or two takes, performed live in my studio. Working this way, I have to dedicate myself to specific choices made during the creation process, perform the patch and let the music flow.
Apart from a few exceptions, my system consists of fully analogue modules. Most of them are self-built, which has enabled me to develop an instrument that I can completely shape to my own requirements. It is an ongoing process: these patches are impressionistic snapshots of the temporary state of the system and my own artistic development.
Enjoy!
