Esoteric Modulation Ed Ball

In this months show, we have the mighty Todd Barton gracing our podcast. We talk about his album metaScapes and the inspiration behind the album, the MetaSynth. We chat about the compilation Buchla cassette he has been involved with, and we take a deep dive into Todd's creative process via some art talk! Then we round the show off talking Hordijk system, Serge and of course, Buchla!

In this week's show, we talk to Cologne based artist and Youtuber Felix, the man behind 'The Tuesday Night Machines' Youtube channel. We start off with giving him a little grief about selling his Ciat Lonbarde equipment :-) Then we get down to a great conversation of what equipment speaks to Felix and His creative process with different gear. We then chat about and journey through a raft of synth formats and find time to talk Gotharman's Little deFormer, and his old school MPC 500! Grab a cuppa, sit down and press that play button.
