Patch Notes: Dasha Rush

Over the past 15 years, Russian-born Dasha Rush has become one of techno’s most interesting multidisciplinary artists. On record, she has explored liminal dream states on 2015’s Sleepstep for Raster-Noton, while her live audiovisual performances have examined the continent of Antartica and, on 2019’s Aurora Cerebralis, the pathways of the human brain.
In this episode of Patch Notes, Rush records a 30-minute performance in her studio that covers the full range of her musical style, moving from bleepy, minimalistic techno through warmer dancefloor sounds before finishing on an emotive ambient note.
The performance makes use of a number of modern classics: Vermona DRM MK2, Roland AIRA TR-8 and TR-08 for rhythm, as well as Elektron’s Octatrack and Digitakt for additional percussion and samples. Synths used include a Waldorf Blofeld, Moog Mother-32 and a MAM MB33 Retro, run by Doepfer’s Dark Time sequencer.
“MAM is sent to Make Noise’s Echophon (out of the video frame, as I could not move my rack closer) for audio processing and further send to OTO BIM, so as Mother-32 dry audio goes via OTO BIM first,” Rush says.
“Further, it goes to the mixer via Eventide Space on pre aux sends, panned so the Eventide goes to the left return channel pre FX send, but the right channel return adjusted differently, so it creates asymmetric audio processing slightly. A mix between the semi-dry impulse and completely wet (processed).”

Love that guy

[@GregoryBirdy]

Dasha has so many sides to her music. It is fascinating. All the sets i have watched online are so different and so good. Not even counting some i have witnessed. Personally prefer her experimental side. Yet her techno sets are also very unique. Big fan forever.

[@666Nightshift]

[@yanonayanonay]

Great atmosphere, all the sounds are realy good balanced, and this is not easy with a lot of hardware in this kind of jam session... vermona DRM1 is great but got reputation in being difficult to put on a mix, .... you proove that this is possible. Great work, so smoof, i love it and i really understand the difficult ! (i got moog 32, vermona DRM1, octatrack, and a lot of other gear because i'm realy passionned by music to - we do what we want with our money, my car is a jerk !) ------ (sorry for my english level, i'm french and we got a reputation :) )
