The track “Meditation,” from Loops, Swoops, and Other Sounds | Volume 1, began as an experiment in digital modular synthesis using the VCV Rack software. Using a mix of sequencers, LFOs, random voltage generators, and automated signal routing, two oscillators are passed through several signal processors and effects to create a generative ambient landscape. The resulting piece of music invites the listener to revel in the sweet, harmonious moments while asking them to accept and experience momentary clashes of dissonance and distortion with grace.
