MODULAR SYNTHESIS APPROACH

I started my modular journey in 2018. Putting modules together that speak to the ideas of where I want to go sonically. Synthesis juxtaposed with acoustic instruments, found sound and sampling. Merging my percussion/saxophone beginnings and boom bap beat production knowledge with music technology = Mod Bap.

MOD BAP and Community: “Vintage samplers—and the limitations therein—shaped the sound of hip-hop in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. And while the arrival of new technology gradually led producers to create more complex music, over the last few years, a close-knit community of artists has been returning to modular synths, patching their way into a wonderfully weird world of wires and Eurorack modules, exploring the ideas of chance and probability through synthesis.” - “Modbap” Re-Imagines Hip-Hop Beatmaking Using Modular Synths. - By Danny Veekens (Bandcamp, June 16, 2021).
