Synthesist Luca Francini shared this generative ambient music piece, created with a minimal Eurorack rig & Moog Sound Studio.
Generative music is a type of composition where sounds occur according to a composer’s rules or system, so that the the range of possible musical events is predetermined, but when they happen is not.
Here’s what Francini shared about the technical details:
- 2hp Play is filled with 9 audio files, recorded in Cubase (vocals, nature fx, flutes & strings)
- Moog Sound Studio is used to create the background drone
- Both sources are mixed in Intellijel Mixup, and sent to Mutable Instruments Beads
- Random gates and LFO triggeer 2hp Play and scrub through the 9 audio files
- Feedback and grains from Beads make the sounds randombly overlap
“It’s amazing how useful is 2hp Play paired with Mutable Instruments Beads and some random gates and cv,” notes Francini.
