Error Correction

Error Correction is a 22 minute EP comprised of four modular synth tracks. I've been waiting to finish Pareidolia, then I mastered all four tracks so they sound more or less like they belong together. No other synthesizers or samplers were used, excepting some of the drum sounds on tracks 2-4. Everything you hear is crafted on the modular.

Pareidolia clocks in at 3:33. In a lot of ways, it is the opposite of the recent piano releases which were recorded and issued quickly. Pareidolia took me four weeks to create, for better or worse, which is twice as long as Element 112, and the piece is half the length.

Element 112 is probably my first, true, post-Volta track, although 050209 predates it. 050209 was created fairly quickly for the AHNE09 video. The difference is I felt I was truly beginning to leverage what Volta is capable of with Element 112, and just sort of getting my feet wet with 050209.

Coalescence and Luxation was released a while back, and is a pre-Volta piece. In fact, Coalescence and Luxation was maybe the final straw as I remember being extremely frustrated with my MIDI to CV box. Although the idea of a dedicated CV product had been on my mind for some time, after this piece, I swore I was never going to work that way again.

Much of the point of working with a modular synth is to have total control over the audio, so I feel the free MP3 encoding (especially the bandcamp encoding, which I don't really have any control over) sounds pretty terrible. I strongly encourage you to grab the lossless versions (use the download link).

The album art is based on a graphical representation of pi that recently appeared in a crop circle.
