Abstract | An auto-ethnographic approach is applied to explore the practice of specific patching techniques in post-digital modular synthesis. This is conceptualised as a performance, an embodied approach to creative musical synthesis that emphases the sound and touch over the visual dominance of the currently ubiquitous computer screen. Music performance includes the re-assemblage and re-configuration of a hardware modular system, in this case Eurorack, hereby differentiating it from its virtual version, VCV Rack. |
