about

This album is a compilation of modular patches crafted during my explorations with my modular system, recorded in an attempt to capture fleeting moments of creative inspiration.
Each track was selected for its distinctive sonic resonance and offers a glimpse into the sonic landscapes birthed from experimentation and improvisation: Imperfect, somewhat raw, but nuanced, interesting and real.

These live sessions are chosen for their ability (in my ears) to evoke the essence of spring - a season synonymous with renewal and the awakening of nature after the frosty embrace of winter.

Through their intricate layers of sound, these patches attempt to resemble the vibrant hues of blooming flora, the gentle whispers of newly sprouted leaves, and the rejuvenating warmth of sunlight.

Performed live, the recordings capture the organic evolution of each patch, with some EQ adjustments applied later in the box, so as to preserve the authenticity of the live performance.

The album's cover art features an etching inspired by Nicolas Poussin's renowned painting "Et in Arcadia Ego" from 1637.
