addicted to hardware

Hardware development — instruments-as-objects. Modular and custom-built electronics where the hardware is the thing being designed, and the music is proof the design works.

This is the hardware-development thread of the practice: instruments-as-objects, where the hardware itself is what's being designed and the music is the proof that the design works. A modular synthesizer has to be configured before it can be played — the patch is the instrument, and the performer is its designer.

Mediums: Eurorack modular, custom-fabricated utility modules, samplers, and performance rigs. The aesthetic runs mechanistic — utility-panel layouts, monospace readouts, hardware as artifact.

Individual pieces and documentation are collected here.
