It’s been a while | Modular Mayhem with Colin Benders

Streamed live on Aug 16, 2023 t’s been over one and a half years ago since I last did a Modular Mayhem... Time to catch up! We’ll do some patching, geek out over some eurorack modules, talk about what took me so long and hopefully we’ll record a bunch of new music! _________________________________ Sole but far-from-lonely emperor of a monster 243-module rack, genre-unbound sound explorer, modular mad scientist to the bone, call him whatever you like it’s a fact: Dutch wave-tumbler Colin Benders defies the conventions of so easily tag-slapped electronics as much as his music confronts gravity itself. Untamed and unshackled from today’s main line of tepid production behaviourism, striving in an artistic lane truly his own, Benders has completely veered off the grand street’s accepted modus operandi to operate his gear and imagination in utterly innovative fashion. Having garnered a more than solid experience of the first-hand musician-to-listener experience, Benders keeps on cutting new trails for live electronics, away from drowsy standards and mimetic attitudes. Instead, the Dutch performer pledges to rethink our whole consumption and digestive process of music through lengthy, free-jazz-like momentums to lose your mind and body to. The knowledge and time spent perfecting his craft both apart and before his online audience shines through these patched-up symphonies of boisterous sine-waves, all-engulfing lo-end swells and hair-raising crescendos that have already conquered the likes of Dekmantel, Awakenings, ADE and Berghain. 2:05 unintended loopy terror 20:57 Jam 1 1:11:16 Why I stopped streaming 1:30:39 Jam 2 1:49:00 Jam 2 matured 2:05:00 Amp ded 2:11:40 Jam 3 2:25:00 Jam 4 starts forming 2:28:41 Jam 4 proper 2:42:12 Jam 5 transition 2:43:41 Jam 5 ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Original:
