September Photo Contest Winner - Hannah Carlson!

“I’m inspired by how many different mediums you can use to make music. I love modular but it is not the only thing that I use to make music I see it as it’s own instrument where it can be a supporting part and also a lead. I’m inspired by using familiar sounds and vocal samples which is why I chose the morphagene to create that soundscape and be easily manipulated. Plaits is the other voice I have which is run through my sequencer the Doboz prizma II. Since I’m working with limited space I needed a sequencer that was compact and could have multiple steps and functions which it definitely delivers. I run the sequenced plaits through the chrono blob 2 which I’m absolutely in love with. All the different types of stereo delay creates different rhythms from the plaits almost every time I use it and use the Dixie 2+ to modulate whatever I’m feeling it’s a fun thing to patch live into the plaits to create a variation on a pre existing sound. With everything being clocked with the mutant brain I use my model samples as the master clock which I use as my percussion sounds. I love having so many options since I have limited space but I use those limitations as fuel for creativity.” -Hannah Carlson
