Ambient Modular as the Sun Passes

There’s an endless and growing corpus of live recordings of synthesizer music on YouTube by highly skilled and informed musicians, and I particularly enjoy this ongoing channel called Modular Ambient, named for the modular synthesizers that are the focus of each video. Whoever runs it sets up these inventive and deceptively simple generative (in the pre-LLM sense of the word) or otherwise ever-changing systems of varied sound sources and processing, and then records them for half a day straight. You can hear the shifts over time, and, indeed, note the natural light change as each given recording proceeds. The account owner, whose name I can’t sort out, also posts information in the comments for other musicians who are learning how to use these or similar tools. This video is from yesterday.
