SergeModular

I used to attend a college where I had studio time. I'd take my two panel Serge with me on
the 1 hour bus ride and spend my time patching it all together. Usually just using logic to come
up with interesting sounds, though I wouldn't hear it until I got into the studio. Of course I
got some pretty strange looks from the other bus riders at times...

Some of my best stuff came this way. I'd come up with all sorts of new ideas. I've never
used sequencers or keyboards with my Serge. There's something about the limitations of playing
keyboardless and sequencerless that I really like. Also the limitations of playing with only two
panels. I suppose I could call my system "the pinky of God".

I've also done some live stuff with another Serge player. We'd usually set up some stuff
beforehand, then send each other LFO's as clocks to sync up (or not) as we wished. On stage, we'd
often be repatching stuff once we go a groove on. Along with this I'd use a Tascam 4 track
cassette recorder with environmental sounds recorded on it. I always loved the juxtaposition of
electronic sounds with those from the environment.

As far as protecting my equipment, I never used anything except care in handling. Never had
any problems either. I had an open faced Serge with wooden sides. The sides extended far enough
to protect the pots if I laid it down on its face.
