The latest episode of Tweakers features Black Zenith, a modular synth duo from Singapore.
Black Zenith is Darren Moore & Brian O’Reilly. The duo performs using analog modular synthesizers & moving images. They produce dense sonic textures that generate live visuals through the transformation of audio signals into images.
Black Zenith draws as much influence from noise music & the electroacoustic music tradition as they do from the foundations of abstract video art.
In the video, Moore and O’Reilly discuss their approach to using modular synthesizers and demonstrate their patches for live improvisation.
