Hello all, and welcome to PATCH POD. My name is B. C. Slumber from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Through this podcast, we will be deep-diving into the world of Eurorack and Modular Synthesis. We will look into patching concepts, performance patch breakdowns and creating patches from scratch together.

I hope you enjoy it!

  • Episode 6 | Build A Patch: Nus Masculins Rescore 001

    Episode 6 | Build A Patch: Nus Masculins Rescore 001

    In the sixth episode of PATCH POD, we explore the process of building a performance/composition case for re-scoring François Reichenbach's silent film 'Nus Masculins '1954'. We discuss a new case structuring methodology and why I am moving away from the chaotic bird nest approach. We also include the nylon string guitar and C414 in the Eurorack space. In classic ADHD fashion, I mentioned later how recent medications and ADHD treatment have influenced case building and design, but alas, I didn't get to it so.... let's dive into that next time. I hope you enjoy and please like and subscribe for more. Podcasts are released quasi-weekly in both audio and visual (YouTube) formats. BC.
