@GarfieldModular thx so much for watching and for your words

That's really dark. Great Work!!

And the Video kind of scares me :-)
-- Quantum_Eraser

thx so much for your feedback

@farkas thanks so much for listening. ostalgie is an interesting concept that need to be discussed in deep

Hi all,

I just wanna present my latest dark ambient release: Ostalgie

In German culture, "Ostalgie" is nostalgia for aspects of life in DDR. It is a portmanteau of the German words Ost (east) and Nostalgie (nostalgia).

hypnotic depersonalizing experimental modular dark ambient

1. 00:00 Berlin Radio International
2. 05:20 Der Ostalgieschritt
3. 17:03 Modulpropaganda

BANDCAMP: https://mebitek.bandcamp.com/album/ostalgie

experimental video art all videos and voices are from original soviet and DDR footage and radio except extracts from the Soviet propaganda animation film "Interplanetary Revolution" (1924)

all music has been produced with Modular Synthesizers modulargrid rack:

For now I just have just Clep diaz and loqueliq iteritas. The interfaces are clean and it is very easy to play live. Clep diaz is impressive, just 4hp with lot of modulation capabilities. I'm planning to expand my new case with lot of noise Engineering modules

Hi Mebitek,

Interesting sounds and experiments you got there! :-)

Thanks a lot for sharing and also thank you very much for the details on your sound details, always welcome to read.

Kind regards, Garfield.
-- GarfieldModular

Thanks so much for your feedback!!! I have the dfam since one week and I like so much how it sounds. I'm falling in love with noise Engineering modules too

The track is my first experimentation with Moog DFAM and my custom eurorack system.

The video is a tribute of the 1993 experimental movie "Engineering Red" (Конструктор красного цвета) directed by Andrey I from which I take some footage parts and mixed with performance eurorack modular visuals.

never stop modular experimentation

Patch notes:
- Drums: DFAM (kick + snare), Pico Drum (hit-hats)
- Sequencer: Beatstep Pro (lead, hats, snare)
- Main Voice: DPO
- Bass: DFAM
- FX and ambient voices: Loquelic Iteritas through QPAS and micro clouds, morphagene custom reel, Telharmonic, DPO final through Echophon
- reverb: Erb-verb
- Main modulation: Clep Diaz
- additional modulations: Maths, Function, Wooglebug, micro o_C, Pressure Points, rené

Feedback and comments welcome

I tried to make a little jam based on a dance electronic music classic from the 1977 with my eurorack modular synthetizer, Supernature by Cerrone, after I recenlty watched Climax, a great 2018 movie directed by Gaspar Noé.
The video has been recorded in one take with a GoPro cam and edited with some parts of the Climax movie as a little tribute to both movie and music.

Hi Mebitek,

Nice usage of percussions! Also quite amazing kind of guitar sound you got there, how did you made that one, is that done with the Loquelic Iteritas module?

I like your explaination above here how you made the voices and what modules you used, nice information :-)

I look forward in hearing more from you and kind regards, Garfield.
-- GarfieldModular

I think that the guitar sound you speak about is the DPO final ouput voice. The Loquelic iteritas is creating the main voice (this kind of main melody) and when I switch the algorithm it creates some nice variation. thanks for your feedback

thanks so much. now it's ok

Hi all,
here a little dark cinematic modular ambient experimentation made with my custon modular sytem mostly based on Make Noise Shared System with some nice additions like Noise Engineering Loqueric Iteritas, mirco O_c and antumbra smog (micro clouds).

The patch idea: Thre are three voices influencing each other. Telharmonic with dpo e telharmonic in ring modulation with the other dpo osc. Loqueric iteritas is the main voice, all passing through clouds. All is modulated by some dependent slow lfos and envelopes.

Nice! Are you in Poughkeepsie?
-- Shakespeare

Hi thx for your feedback. No I'm from Sardinia but I liked so much the Poughkeepsie movie.

Hi all,
I just wanna share with you my first fully modular EP

https://mebitek.bandcamp.com/album/a-dark-modular-tale-ep

here's the video of the opening track

"Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven,having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old"

All track has been performed with Eurorack Modular Synthesizer built based on Make Noise Shared System except for the cello part (Cinesamples Tina Guo Acoustic Cello Legato VST)

Video are made by original deepweb footages and extract of Stephen Sommers Van Helsing movie edited by mebitek.

A DARK MODULAR TALE EP:
two tracks for about 20 minutes long dark modular experience.
01 - Never Forgive (Poughkeepsie Tape) - 06:32
02 - A Dark Modular Tale - 11:44

comments, critics and suggestions are very welcome
best regards from Sardinia
