These little tracks had been marinating on my hard drive for a while, I thought it was time to share them with the world - so here’s ‘bhavren’ (bees), now streaming everywhere.  I used some generative synthesis techniques for this EP, for those that are unfamiliar - generative synthesis is often compared to gardening - you set the appropriate conditions and let the plants, or in this case synths/music machines, do their thing. Letting go of all this agency was quite overwhelming at first, but I grew to think of it as a somewhat more democratic process (all things considered). Who would modular synths vote for?

My interventions during these sessions happen occasionally, sometimes to prune unruly branches, and sometimes to water what the machines doing. Working this way has been great practice for me in moving away from traditional structures of music making - and quite freeing in expression.
