About this episode
In this episode, Karlheinz Essl shares his first experiment with the Music Thing Modular Workshop System, exploring chaotic sound creation.
My first experiment with the Music Thing Modular Workshop System, a powerful compact modular desktop system. In this patch, I was creating a chaotic system using two ring-modulated oscillators with frequency modulation from two slope generators and a self-resonating bandpass filter. Part of the work-in-progress "My Daily Wobble" (2025 ff.) https://www.essl.at/works/my-daily-wobble.html Performed live at Studio Ölberg (25 Jan 2026)
