The Fossils of Intention | Eurorack Ambient

An ambient piece for my Eurorack modular system. All sounds/effects from the rack. Available for download at soundcloud - / the-fossils-of-intention
Patch Notes:
Piano Sound: Mutable Instruments Rings (in symphathetic string mode) being excited by Mutable Instruments Braids in "CLOU", running through a Make Noise MMG and a Laurentide Synthworks VG2. The VG is getting a quick exponential envelope from a Make Noise Maths. Rings going through a Mutable Instruments Clouds in granular mode with audio-rate random modulation from a Qu-Bit NanoRand. As the song progresses, I slowly make the envelopes on Maths longer and turn up the wet/dry mix on Clouds. Rings is also multed to an Alright Devices Chronoblob delay.
Lead: A second Mutable Instruments Rings (also in symphathetic string mode) being excited by the same Mutable Instruments Braids in "CLOU", except that the signal is multed straight from the MMG bypassing the LPG for a constant drone. This Rings is going into a Mannequins Three Sisters filter into the high input and output and then into a Make Noise ErbeVerb.
Bass: Make Noise STO running into a second Mutable Instruments Clouds in looping delay mode on the lowest quality setting and a Mutable Instruments Streams in compressor mode.
All sequencing provided by a Korg Electribe 2 via a Vermona QMi2 MIDI to CV module.

Finally someone making music with their modular instead of "jamming" and making cricket noises. Beautiful stuff.

[@sumchi3690]

I like the fact that this is a sweet,small,compact unit. Shows that you don’t need a wall of modules to make excellent music.

[@dmitrypolovin1776]

What about all the stuff located outside the unit?

[@raytheonorion]

This straight fucks me up emotionally.

[@raytheonorion]

ya.... still...

[@Hainbach]

Did I miss this? Did I forget about it? Beautiful, and I love the title.

[@rbeny]

and oldie but a goodie

[@amuletsmusic]

agreed, how did i miss this one!?

[@davidknight754]

I’m not sure how you guys possibly missed this... perhaps you’ve both been busy making awesome music too... Just maybe

[@SSquirrel1976]

I think this was the first piece of his I discovered and it still remains my favorite. This suitcase modular created some beautiful sounds.

[@mountainstartemple6041]

Airport Security : "Excuse me, can we check your suitcases ... our scanners showed suspicious looking devices and wires inside" ~ *sure, check it out ... it's just a box full of really cool sound potential*

[@BeeRich33]

"It's a clock. School project."

[@alexschafer7164]

Love the words 'box full of really cool sound potential'

[@connordnetto]

Mountain Star Temple yep, every time I travel too 😅

[@stephanmobius1380]

Sir, this here says Anti Matter Launch Codes. Would you please come with us.

[@johnduval482]

I took a six panel Serge system in a Zero case to the airport and when they saw the module that said VC Clock and Random Voltage Generator they lost their shit. LOL. .

[@CholokMauser]

I remember times, when I was thinking modular synths are all about some bleep-bloop nonsense, and imitating sounds of flies farting in space. People like you can open other's minds. Thank you very much for that.

[@martijndreesen4713]

flies farting in space... The best comparison ever!! had me laughing hard

[@raulrodriguez82]

"In space, no one can hear your farts"

[@quinnluscinski1805]

Welcome aboard.

[@phantomcsodalatos597]

@@raulrodriguez82 Unless you are a fly.

[@naught101]

I feel like you could probably get this effect with a well trained fly orchestra.

[@Lithethos]

I can't describe with words how deep this piece moves me... Ocean waves swell with longing, reaching out and never grasping anything. A limitless ocean. Thank you very much for creating it.

[@PacifierMusic]

Found this and became inspired. You should be really proud of what you created. Absolutely beautiful.

[@harry-nicholson]

I've been looking at diving into modular and analog synths for a few months or so now, but every 'youtube demo' of a different synth just put me off because they were boring and stale and the patches are so rarely demonstrated in a cohesive musical experience. FINALLY, this page has inspired me beyond expectations into what modular can do and I can not wait to get involved now. Thank you r beny, I have had your music on repeat for hours

[@LaurensDesmetMusic]

This video made me go into modular about two years ago. I came back for another listen and to say thank you. I am now broke and I'm loving it. x

[@noisebureau7599]

It opens like a flower. Beautiful from start to finish.

[@Ottomatik0]

Extremely soothing sounds, thank you for this!

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

Listening again - it STILL gets better - and better - a true mark of greatness,- I salute you R Beny !

[@Genshi]

Once again, another beautifully brilliant performance! So lovely!

[@mccarry30]

Such a lovely piece of music. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@reinliu5090]

Truly immersed in your music. This is absolutely emotive!

[@1VperOctave]

Another beautiful, hypnotic piece, thank you.

[@alaskaonpause]

very nice - good to hear something warmer from this kind of setup. Thanks.

[@PieAreSquared]

Hands down my favourite thing I've seen done of a modular system...fantastic stuff, thank you!

[@RussGetsIt]

wow, this is fantastic. LOVE the string progression from the Rings module. beautifully done!

[@johangwinther5760]

Wow man, this is really excellent!! Beautiful patch/work.

[@PeteJohnson1471]

I'm always happy to come back to this. It's so nice and serene .

[@chrismiles1663]

Your music is really inspirational. Absolutely amazing use of modular gear to produce beautiful music. Thanks so much for posting all these pieces...

[@jicamasaladco]

Just fantastic! Thanks for sharing that great work.

[@toximan2008]

One of the most gorgeous pieces I've heard in recent times. It's solidifying my quest to start and finalize my own eurorack... Good stuff!

[@BeholdJesse]

Really fantastic. Your videos were one of the biggest pushes that made me commit to getting into analog synthesis.

[@sector328]

One of the best songs with a modular. Beautiful

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Gorgeous, incredible tones.

[@nvreez]

This is absolutely massive, so gorgeous, incredible! I feel like it engulfs me fully and tingles my inner soul ✨

[@Callie1981]

So good I want to applaud my speakers when it finishes. The note that cuts through the whole piece just really drives into you emotionally, just beautiful man!

[@remlapgarage]

Heart Wrenching Sounds, beautiful

[@DivKid]

Gorgeous!

[@Ellende]

Music of pure depth, without foreground or background, without distance

[@Xstatic1975]

Wow, insainly gorgeous sounds.

[@davidgoodman6663]

Just love this, on repeat, you have been one on the main inspirations for me starting my modular journey.

[@macros303]

your videos are absolutely the most awesome euro rack pieces i've heard! Great stuff man

[@pat2rome]

I just realized I was spacing out the past few minutes; such a soothing song!

[@sinsofourfathers]

These videos are not going to help me resist the plunge into modular. Great stuff, subscribed!

[@rustyjaw]

I've come back to watch and listen to this several times. It's really very beautiful, thank you.

[@raytheonorion]

dude... there is an army of us yearning to be consumed by the eternal yawn of the void.

[@andrewmarshall195]

I still think this is one of the best pieces of Eurorack based music I have ever heard...its stunning...and really shows you don't need a silly amount of modules. The textures of this composition are so gripping, I listen to this regularly....well done on a stunning work!

[@coldweatherart]

I keep coming back to this one, I think it's one of my absolute favourites of yours. It reminds me of old beings, hidden from the world, but full of regret. It has this sort of beautiful sadness about it and makes me think of the immensity of history and life.

[@rbeny]

thank you for the kind words. all that is similar to what I think about when making these tunes. it's the same feeling I get from being out in nature.

[@tedhuggins764]

I love how this music sounds, good job mate. I also love the cute little Platypus on the windowsill behind!

[@WhiteNoises]

Really really beautiful mate. Love seeing this sort of music done on modulars.

[@martiansonmaui1749]

Gorgeous track! Thanks for posting it.

[@DavidTenenholtz]

Have always loved your channel and your music! Such a great track.

[@evwaldron]

All your stuff is astounding!

[@narbra9678]

Simply gorgeous, no yammering necessary. This feels amazing.

[@Jin-Hu]

This is beautiful, I have no smart comments, or witty notes, just gratitude for what you’ve created. Thank you

[@alysoncurtis5088]

One of the best I’ve ever heard!

[@sushimandaddi]

Amazing piece thanks for sharing!

[@DETmusicofficial]

Great job, this is really cool. I think I'm going to take your modular as a reference for what modules I want to buy when I start getting my modular built!

[@kindreadproject]

fantastic ambient, love that cinematic feel, nice stuff, ciao!

[@francismanzella3527]

Another beautiful piece.. you have a fantastic style and use of the MI modules is really great... makes me want clouds and Rings even more.. Love my Braids. been trying to diversify my sources, but I do love the plucky sustaining sounds that Elements, Rings do so well.. Gotta get a Clouds for sure.. Keep it up!!s

[@Waduuheck]

Oh i'm absolutely dropping this in any dj mix and set i can. Amazing!

[@Youssifmo7]

Truly beautiful, thank you.

[@Angel-cu5mf]
