First test of using Multigrain under full cv control, one Xaoc Odessa “wiggle” manipulated in varying ways on numerous slots with semi-random control. One particularly impressive feature Multigrain offers is a wealth of ways to tie grains to clocks & gates, there’s much to explore with this module.

A short tone poem with XAOC Odessa Variable Spectrum Harmonic Cluster Oscillator thru Tiptop Audio Buchla 296t filter bank with cv modulation and manual wiggling/curating. Deep FM inputs and a very playable surface for Odessa create many glassy, metallic, and noise-based universes.

Sublime even when condensed to broadcast tv time requirements, Robert Fripp and Frippertronics. I was fortunate enough to see him do this at the Mabuhay Garden back in 1979 and it remains with me to this day.
