The lesson that changed everything for me wasn’t about perfecting my technique… it was about breaking it apart. I’d spent years as a classical trumpet student learning the “right” way to play. Clean attacks, centered tone, perfect intonation. You either had clear articulation, or it was wrong. Your tone was centered and resonant, or it was bad. Then I had a teacher who flipped that upside down. The whole lesson was about “ugly” sounds. For an hour, we explored the in-betweens. The fragility befo

These soundssss 🤯 This one absolutely surprised me (as you can see on my face 🤣) -- pairing the @intellijel Cascadia with the @torsoelectronics S4 sculpting sampler (off screen), and controlling everything with the @arturia_official Keystep MIDI controller. One of the reasons why I love modular synths / electronic instruments is that they can be SO surprising... Pairing the same sound generator you've been using for years with a new controller or FX processor can open up SO many new universes

Here's a little experimental sound design tutorial using just 2 modules in VCV Rack—this is a mini generative patch that uses only a random voltage generator and a fun reverb module (that also has some pitch shifting built in). 🎛✨🌀 Watch the video for step-by-step instructions! This patch will vary a ton based on the reverb you’re using and how you choose to modulate things; let me know if you give it a try and what you discover! ❤️ PS: for those who are unfamiliar with this software, it's cal

No one but the ruler does well in #fascism, Sarah. . Repost from @nowthisimpact • Turns out, even being the former Press Secretary doesn’t get you in Trump’s good graces. Last month, the state of Arkansas was hit by 14 tornados. Despite this, and a letter sent by the Governor and Trump loyalist Sarah Huckabee Sanders writing a letter directly to the President, the administration refused to declare it a disaster, so no federal funding would be sent. Sanders specifically asked for small business l

I get a lot of Q’s from folks who want to learn how to make music with modular synths, but every time they try to get started they get overwhelmed & stuck: “I bought a synth, but now it’s just collecting dust. I’ve tried the ‘plug things in and experiment!’ approach, and I’ve made some sounds, but I feel like I spend more time troubleshooting than actually making music”... “I’ve been scouring Youtube for tutorials on how to get started, and every video suggests a near piece of gear or assumes al

One of the reasons why I’m so fascinated by no input mixing & feedback-patching is the element of surprise: you can press a button or turn a knob that’s *supposed* to do one thing, and get a completely unexpected result…⁠ ⁠ Moments later you can perform that exact same action and end up somewhere entirely different.⁠ ⁠ I’m always reminded of the way electronic music pioneer David Tudor would talk about his relationship to electronic instruments, as objects that can reveal to us what they want to

Exploring some new sounds with @weareelektron’s Tonverk - I almost never work with sequencers, and when I do, I love to find ways to “break” them a little… …make the patterns a bit weird / lopsided, run multiple sequences at the same time of different lengths so things phase in and out with one another… for those of you who use sequencers a lot in your practice, what’s your go-to approach? #sounddesign #electronicmusic #synthesizer | Sarah Belle Reid

Someone once told me I needed to "focus" and stop being so scattered musically. "You can't be a classical musician AND make experimental noise music AND work with electronics," they said. "People won't know what to expect from you." I’ve been advised in the past to essentially “pick a lane” and commit. And while there IS tremendous value in *committing* to your path, I’ve always been troubled by this idea of a siloed “lane”—a musical path that feels restricted rather than open. The truth is, “my

Sarah Belle Reid on Instagram: "3 tips for performing live with modular synths:⁠ ⁠ 1) keep your setup small. While it's tempting to want to use every synth & module you own, focusing & reducing your setup is SUPER helpful. Here's why:⁠ ⁠ ➡️ it reduces variables: less stuff to use / think about = more bandwidth for you to listen deeply & get into a creative flow.⁠ ⁠ ➡️ it forces you to find creative solutions, & to try new patches / ideas.⁠ ⁠ ➡️ it focuses your sound palette to create a more cohe
