During the pandemic I bought a tiny modular system and once I learned the rudiments of how to patch I began recording a series of 'Covid Drones' as a way to learn modular and process my experience of Covid 19 in the UK. This is the final track I recorded and relates to Lockdown. It is inspired by the many walks my partner and I took in nearby woods when everything else was shut down.

The patch is performed live and features a drone from both channels of Make Noise Maths, fed into an MXR Carbon Copy guitar pedal. I also have some notes of a ukulele fed into the Morphagene - during Lockdown I had a lot of time on my hands and spent a fair bit of it playing the ukulele.

At the end of the piece I bring in a simple melody from Plaits - the melody is based on the notes produced by old-style ambulances - we heard quite a few ambulance sirens in the streets, especially at the start of the pandemic.


Hi ModLifeCrisis,

Oh wow! This is beautifully done, I love this track. I am going to listen this again so much to discover and to like here :-)

Hmm, it hangs now :-( I hope this is only temporarily.

Anyway, thank you very much for this great track and nice video as well! Kind regards, Garfield.

Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.
