Patch Notes:
I started putting the 'Fragments' patch together after getting Marbles (Cara) a little while ago (and Triple Sloths). I wanted to pair it with Sinfonion and my Ladik Skipper modules to create a generative piece that changes very slowly and subtly over a long period of time. While making the patch, I came up with an idea to create random evolving weather, which was going to be much more complicated but ended up being quite simple to patch, which I'll detail below. As some people noted, the patch ended up sounding similar to 'Waiting for Cousteau' by JMJ, one of my favourite ambient pieces of all time. Although that wasn't intentional when I started, it inspired a lot of my decisions. The patch took about a week to do, with most of that to fine tune many aspects, especially probability and setting attenuation and offsets to get just the right range of CV, so that things never became too dense and that there would be natural peaks and valleys throughout the piece (thanks to Triple Sloths).
Vector: Part 1. sends notes to Sinfonion Ch 1 out to DPO pitch input, gate from Vector goes to Ladik skipper (low probability), to Delta V EG, which opens filter on Vult Freak. No VCA is used, so that there's always some subtle bass audible. Decay on Delta V is randomly modulated via B-out of Ultra Random.
Pamela's New Workout: 6 channels of random, with very low probability (RSKIP set high around 92%+) go out to Bitbox Micro to randomly, and rarely trigger various pre-made samples (non-looped) with Toggle enabled, so that sometimes they may stop short but fade out slowly (long release).
Marbles/Cara: X1 into Sinfonion Ch 2 In - Out to Disting Ex 1/vct input 1. Marbles X2 to Sinfonion Arp In - Out to Rings v/oct input. Marbles X3 to Sinf Ch2 In - Out Dist. Ex Input 2, for 2 voice polyphonic playback of Spitfire Labs Music Box. T1 Out to Sinf. Ch2 trigger input, split to Skipper 4 input. T2 Out to Sinf. Ch3 trig. input, split to Skipper 3 in. T3 out to Skipper 2 in. Skipper 2 out (3 copies) - 1 RndStp input - 2 Rings Strum in - 3 Sinf. Arp Clk input. Trig Bias around 10 o'clock for more triggers to Disting Ex.
Ladik Skippers (2 of): probability is CV modulated (small range) by Apathy X output of the Triple Sloths (multed x4 for each skipper CV in). This is for slow, evolving dynamics of the bass filter EG, Disting EX Spitfire music box (uses two Skippers), and Rings. This way there would sometimes be moments when stuff isn't triggering very much, and sometimes the opposite.
Triple Sloths: Apathy X - Skippers CV in. Y - Doepfer dual VC CF ch1. crossfades between two weather samples. Intertia X - VC CF ch.2 crossfades between second two weather samples. Y - Dual VCA CV ch.1 Input for dynamic weather overall volume. Z - Ch.2 VCA for the second weather volume. Torpor X - Dry/Wet balance of FX Aid XL Blackhole reverb. Y - VCA in on Praga to control bass volume.
Assimil8or: 4x mono samples into Doepfer crossfader (light rain, heavy rain, rain with thunder, harbour sample). All samples on the A8 are looped and constantly playing.
Ultra Random: Ura A out to Delta V Attack. B out to Delta V Decay R Flux out to DPO Shape input.
Ochd: slow LFO into Arbhar Scan (all layers). 2nd slow LFO into RndStp ch1 Sample input. Ch 1 Unipolar out into Timewarp (for slew) Timewarp out to Rings Shape input for pitch bends. 3rd med-slow LFO into Rings position input. 4th fast LFO into Rings FM (vibrato)
DPO: Square+Final out slow LFO into Angle to 2hp Mix out to Vult Freak (Stabile Low Pass)
Rings outputs through Magneto for subtle delay, wow/flutter and small mix of spring reverb
Arbhar through E520 (Chowder Delay) for some occasional stutter/repeats and pitching
Lubadh stereo loop (improv with Wavestate) pitched down 1 octave plays constantly
Disting Ex Music Box samples through FX Aid XL (Blackhole reverb)
Recorded direct to DAW.

[@brucebennett5338]

beautiful

[@MindfulByMoonlight]

The sound of robotic neurones firing. Calibrating to the frequency of alien transmissions. Futuristic space travel ambiance. Star language. Digitally accessing lost memories. Neurological hacking to delete harmful coping mechanisms. Blurry sporadic film clips of a distant past. The sound of everything and nothing, purgatory, the journey to rebirth, navigating from unconsciousness to consciousness. The sound of a higher being coding existence. Love this. Definitely evokes an emotional response and some interesting imagery. Excellent soundtrack for gaming, creative sessions, or fantasy/sci-fi reading. To me, this piece became quietly suggestive of danger, the unknown, instability, and determination. Crisis and Hope.

[@stateazure]

Thanks, much appreciated!

[@MD_is_me]

Finally, I "get it" from a big picture standpoint when it comes to modular. The idea of purely ephemeral pieces wherein the "patch" and the "piece" are one. Months of "programming" married to months of composing all with a view to something that can never be recreated once unpatched. Effing brilliant. Honestly, this is watershed moment for me; I don't know why I couldn't see it before this.

He left out ambient engineering which shocked me for this style of music. Guess he just didn't want it? ...or possibly he's not well acquainted with it?

This is so good! I am fascinated by the algorithmic approach to creating this piece with what I *assume* has been created using a battery of carefully crafted and cadenced looping CV and MIDI signals orchestrated by some kind of randomization. I've been listening for hours. I can concentrate on my work without distraction. But also there is enough space in the resulting composition that I can appreciate the details and nuances of the sonic texture and random melodic progressions developing without being pulled away from what I am concentrating on. Plus when I take a break it is interesting enough to just enjoy the piece with full concentration. Really cool on so many levels! The Algorithm did me a solid this time. :)

I always felt like music is the only way we can write down and communicate feelings . in response to: "Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time.”

[@informationproducts442]

Excellent job thanks i used to listen to jmj waiting for Cousteau at night to fall asleep now this has replaced it thank you so much good work

[@stateazure]

Waiting for Cousteau is such a beautiful ambient track, I wish Jarre had made some more longform like that one.

[@Navigator19791]

thanks man, you always provide with perfect OST when I need to get back to productive flow state

[@RightFaiky]

I can't say how unbelievably great it feels on my trip, what an atmosphere with the sparkling high sounds, the real feeling weather changes, drippleds of synth sounds, sound of working computers, sitas in the far, the spacy galaxy pads and real sounds nearby. More of this, that's sooo nice!

[@melosmann2896]

I think modular synth is one of the greatest creations of human kind. It fascinates me so much, one day ill be able to create something like this, huge salutations from Brazil 🖖

[@MBVRGAMES]

YO QUIERO UNA HABITACION EXACTAMENTE IGUAL A ESTAAAAA....madre mia que virgueria de aparatos.... esto es un sueño

[@DanielSMatthews]

I was trying to explain to people the other day how nature is like a huge modular synthesiser that generates the weather from many complex cyclic phenomena, I don't think they get it. 😐

[@varjen018]

This is me commenting, liking and doing what i can so i dont lose this clip and have to spend another hour finding it when i need to focus.

[@1957rayn]

Thank you for making life more enjoyable for the intelligent minds.

[@tasho888]

technically speaking, can we compare this sound with whhite noise? i mean, randomness making random noises

[@mattymetro]

As I get older I always feel like I haven't spent as much time as I want with this music but at the same time I have it playing a lot.

[@davidmckayii752]

same...i used to listen to just rock, but now, it's this kind of music.

[@peterhalleffect2.0]

I build starship coils and build pulse motors to your music.

[@odysseusjones2413]

I could listen to this for hours. Gentle, almost mystical, and importantly, constant without disruptions. It is PERFECT for studying!

[@youtuberson4077]

very relaxing for working :))))) also what camera are you using? the video is stunning

[@stateazure]

I'm not sure which camera I used for this one, unless I wrote it in the description..Glad you enjoyed it though!

[@broadpath7184]

Beautiful. And this piece will never happen again in just this way- and can live and evolve as long as there's electricity coming in. Like any living thing....

[@josephg32541]

So, the computer is doing all of this itself and your input, as the artist is the selection of the components?

[@stateazure]

There's no main computer involved, it's lots of modules that I've patched together processing control voltages in interesting ways. I set the key, the scale ie the rules

[@magneticlights6311]

This is true Music Art....very well done ..love it

[@rubbaclaymo2822]

for ears of this world but out of this world

"Captain Faramir, you have shown your quality, sir - the very highest."

[@cvrart]

Is it deterministic, or would it be different on each performance? I imagine you could create something pseudo-random, but complex enough to seem random, that could be reproducible in the same way each time when using a same set of seed values, but could be completely different over the duration with a different set of seed values / settings.

[@stateazure]

This would be random, a lot of the modulation and notes are randomly pulled from noise. I'm sure you could make a deterministic patch of this style with the correct modules, maybe turing machines with lockable sequences/modulation. But those modules tend to loop over very short periods of time, so it would be noticeably repetitive.

[@cvrart]

@@stateazuremakes sense. I guess one may need to use a software approach to really guarantee determinism in a single "performance". VERY cool, btw!

[@bobwaht]

Beautiful. Loving all those little grains of audio.

[@beta700a]

I am downloading the entire set in MP3 to distribute among my friends. Thank you so much for this wonderful creation!!!❤❤❤

[@sabbathian]

I have just discovered your channel and your music.... damn, hope I am not to late for the party, this is sick!

[@stateazure]

Thanks!
