The lecture is primarily intended for beginners as an entry and decision support. It combines a guide into the world of analog modular synthesizer systems with an introduction to subtractive synthesis, one of the basic and classic methods of analogue sound design. Using a portable Eurorack system, the peculiarities and complexity of an analog modular synthesizer will be explained, as well as the individual modules resp. groups of modules and their diversity: Sound generators and sources (oscillators, noise generators), Sound shapers (filters, wave shapers), Modulation sources (LFOs, envelope generators, sequencers), Amplifiers, mixers, switches, auxiliary modules, Effects.
FRANK BRETSCHNEIDER is a musician, composer and video artist in Berlin. His work is known for precise sound placement, complex, interwoven rhythm structures and its minimal, flowing approach. Bretschneider’s subtle and detailed music is echoed by his visuals: perfect translated realizations of the qualities found in music within visual phenomena.
He is releasing his music and performing at music/new media festivals worldwide.
In 1995, Bretschneider and fellow AG Geige member Olaf Bender founded the Rastermusic record label which eventually merged with Carsten Nicolai’s noton to form raster-noton in 1999. Most of Bretschneider’s early solo albums were under the alias Komet. Since then Bretschneider has released his work (in addition to raster noton) on various labels including 12k, Line, Mille Plateaux or Shitkatapult.
