November Free Patch Cable Contest Winner!

Jacob Johnson

Jacob Johnson is an electronic musician, visual artist, and creative programmer based in Santa Cruz, California. Jacob’s interests in electronic mediums bloomed during his second year at the Berklee College of Music, gravitating towards modular synthesizers as an approach to improvised performance. Rooted in, but not limited to the ambient genre, Jacob aims to convey the feelings of complex yet subdued turbulence that exist within all of us. Under the name eventuate, Jacob released his first album “Tides” on November 19th.

Check out some of Jacobs music with the links below. We really enjoyed his ambient sounds along with his nature shot.

Future plans for modbang.com

Currently, modbang serves a kaleidoscope of images filled with buttons, knobs, flashing LED's, and a tangled mess of colored wires. Even more fantastic than the images themselves is the fact that they are all contributions from current and active musicians from all over the world. Beneath every photo, you can find the name of the contributor. Moving forward I plan to continue adding to both current galleries (eurorack and pedal board) while working to add a third gallery: home studio. Home studio will have a focus on your work desk and layout of your music room. I am excited to start gathering home studio images because it will surely include many hardware synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers. Also, in the works is a forum where the obsessive pedal board junkies can talk to the eurorack folk, and the home studio production gang- we will finally see who has gear acquisition syndrome the worst.

Thanks for stopping by!
