Day 236 / Taking Refuge In The Modular

Last night was one of those nights.  Jenny and I watched the season finale to Project Runway and afterwards had a long discussion that turned for the worst and ended with both of us feeling a little hurt.  Nevertheless, Jenny and I have a rule to never allow each other go to bed upset and we kept to that rule last night.  I’m a very lucky man.

 

But alas, having to then lift my energy up to do something creative is a bit of a challenge.  I thought maybe I could do something amorphous with charcoal, perhaps harnessing my mood.  Instead, I felt aimless.  So, I decided to take refuge in front of the modular.

 

No real inspiration for the patches.  Just kind of randomly experimenting.  I started by messing around with some cross-modulation.  Then I pulled the cables and played around with the A137 Wave Multiplier, that one turned out the best.  Finally, I finished off the night with a half patch.  Just messing around with a clicky-slow saw wave through a lowpass filter, creating some watery drops.
