CMYK discovers four colorful pieces that were made with love and my modular systems. Each work was recorded and performed in one take and represents a color of the subtractive color model.

In times where information is more valuable than gold it is the word ‘security’ that is used more often than any other key word in modern society. Security sounds good to citizens and so they might feel safer when the word is used as much as possible. But safety and security do not mean the same thing. In order to sell security there must be a specific amount of insecurity and there is nothing more insecure than a human mind.
‘Supervision’ describes the permanent surveillance of human beings by taking advantage of today’s technologies. It aims to convey the feeling of every step being recorded and analyzed by unknown individuals and analytical programs. Straight rhythmical structures combined with modulated noises, radio voices and cold endless reverbs create an irresistible hypnotic and paranoid sound. It is the simplicity of elements that make ‘Supervision’ a spectacular and incomparable album.

*** A glurpolphiliac modular blorchfest. ***
Robert Rich
*** Clever and engaging, Oktant is an epic showcase of modern modular synthesis and a genuine mastery of the craft. ***
Andrew Morelli, Steady State Fate
∗∗∗ I have never experienced such a unique piece of work performed and recorded in several one-takes on a modular synthesizer. The vast variety of patches shows the depth of its composer/producer/musician. This, as a whole is a source of inspiration that doesn’t end after the first ten or twenty times of listening to it. Every single part of this album is a complex structure itself. Warning: This is not easy-listening – take your time to enjoy this exceptional sound voyage with all your senses. ∗∗∗
Moritz Scharf, Endorphin.es
∗∗∗ A wide range of material from hypnotic to disturbing to quirky to bleeps&bloops makes this a worthwhile listening experience. ∗∗∗
Brother Theo, Circuit Abbey
∗∗∗ OKTANT promises to be a treasure trove of sonic delights. 64 works. You could think of it as modular track for each square of the chessboard or one for each hexagram of the I Ching! ∗∗∗

Oktant is a collection of 64 handmade modular pieces, which were performed 2013 – 2014. It’s an vanguard work using the nature of empiricism to form and deform sound from simple waveforms to indescribable noise. It’s complexity is a result of organic, evolving rhythm structures combined with true analog modular sound designs.

Sometimes there are releases that need no further description. Obsolete Circuits is some handmade modular funky shit! Enjoy!

Steuerspannung deals with danceable structures mixed up with noise and randomness. It’s all about impressions of movement, the city itself, pulsation of traffic.
Release Date: September 2013
The anniversary release [LL010] “Pattern Language” is a technoid modular EP with hypnotic beats and warm structures. Pattern Language has a linguistic usage in the field of architecture. I wanted to use this context for building up sequences, which have strong and solid grounds, but can be interpreted widely different.
**** Fuzzy and organic sounding experimental Techno that screams analog! Reminiscent of work by Cristian Vogel or maybe even Mouse on Mars but with much more of a focus on the analog modular tools it was made with. ***
Danjel van Tijn (Intellijel Designs Inc.)
*** We are always happy to hear how our products are used, especially when used to make adventurous music like LIN/LOG. Excellent Noise! ***
Paul Barker (MALEKKO HEAVY INDUSTRY CORPORATION)
*** … has one foot in the catacombs of electronic music and the other on the dance floor. ***
Tony Rolando (Make Noise Co.)
*** Great! A master of sonic sculpture. LIN/LOG’s approach to modular synthesis shines on Output. ***
Richard Nicol (Pittsburgh Modular)
*** I think it’s great. It’s full of sounds and moving, and most importantly it’s not just a bunch of noises like many modular users do but actual music. I love it! ***
Gur Milstein (TipTop Audio)
*** Very nice! There should be more music like this… ***
4MS Pedals
*** Complex and fascinating soundscapes that is a dream for a modular nerd to listen to. ***
