intro

Ok, this blog still needs some introduction.

We live in exciting times! Boutique modular manufacturers are popping up like mushrooms and bring in a fresh wave of creativity and enthusiasm on an unprecedented scale. Idealistic distributors help bring it all to us, the users - musicians, hobbyists, performers, explorers. One aim of this blog is to put into perspective a perceived Euro/Frac antagonism (if we limit the discussion to minijack-territory). I love and use both Frac and Euro - both play excellent together!

This is a platform for my sonic and musical explorations, mostly modular, occasionally non-modular, and everything else I might have to say or show. I have two videos out on vimeo that got some good response which encouraged me to start this blog. It's merely a personal sketchbook, not intended to cover all modular world news... there are great blogs for that already (see links section).

Finally, let me express my gratitude and appreciation to all those who contribute to this new trend of modular enthusiasm, thus also bringing about advancement on a musical level. Thanks to all manufacturers, distributors and fellow bloggers! Kudos to the masters of minijack modularism: Dieter Doepfer, John Blacet, Grant Richter, Wowa Cwejman, Manfred Fricke, Mike Brown, Bob Williams, Tom Carpenter, Gur Milstein, Laurie Biddulph, Tony Rolando, Kevin O'Neill, James Husted, Steve Turnidge, David Wagenbach, Scott Jaeger, Josh Holley, Paul Schreiber and everybody else developing and manufacturing. Thanks to Schneiders Buero for helping me get bankrupt time and time again!
