Modular Minimal Springing Forth

March 2020 has been a very creative and productive time. What started out as a generic series of ideas and recordings very quickly split into distinct themes: One based on minimal explorations using a series of modular and semi modular devices, and one with  as series of more rhythmic sessions based around loops, beats, and recurring samples. 

So  this time round, you get double your money, with two lots of album's worth of recordings on two different themes coming out at the same time. 

To start us off, here is Modular Minimal:

Modular Minimal is a series of recordings based around interplay and interconnection with a series of modular and semi modular devices, being largely the Behringer Model D, the Behringer Neutron, the MFOS Noise Toaster and the MFOS Weird Sound Generator. Of course, as is often the case with the Conny Plankton brain, various other lops,samples and devices soon joined into the fray, evolving into this new series of atonal and ambient soundscapes you have before you. Enjoy!



Then, we have Spring Forth:
A New series of recordings based loosely around use of banks of loops, triggered through Ableton and mixed with selected other devices, such as VST synths, the Neutron and Model D synths by Behringer and the Kaossilator Plus. And a few more guest appearances as well. You may well notice some of the loops and samples also making further guest appearances on different tracks!
