About:PTNA aka Justin Olson began his music journey with the Violin at age 3. By the time he was in college, Justin shared his songs in live performances and open mics building confidence as a performer, and learn the satisfaction of sharing his creations with the world.  As an artist, it is easy to become lost in your head and process, live performance is a very important tool to receive feedback and input that guides your creative output and can give you the needed confidence to share it with the world. In 2014, Justin began his journey into Synthesizers, Electronic Drums, Samplers and Drum Machines. Since 2014, Justin has focused on creating musical projects, performances and albums on his Eurorack Modular.  He has released 20 + albums of music during this time-frame and has enjoyed the process of patching a song over hours to days and then performing it live and capturing the performance. Justin has performed around the state of Arizona including: Tempe Center for the Arts “ Singer Songwriters Showcase” in partnership with PBS, “Knock the Blues out of Hunger” Blues Festival, Glendale Folk Festival, Weekly “Fun Fridays” at the Tempe Center for the Arts and most recently, a live Eurorack Modular Performance at , “ Wireheads” in downtown Phoenix. Justin enjoys introducing people to Modular synthesis and being a knowledgeable resource to expose and bring students into the area of study and creation.  His mission is to help guide newcomers through the vast market of gear, resource material and introducing them to basic skills that build on each other and provide a strong foundation to continue their very personal journey of building their own Modular instrument.  Justin is currently a modular Synthesizer instructor and has taught at the Academy of Modern Music Production (AMMP) in Mesa, AZ. Links: https://ptna.bandcamp.com/ http://m.soundcloud.com/ptna

About:Sleep of Eons is the glitchy electronic modular/computer based audio visual work of Jorge Bojorquez from Tucson, AZ. In 2018 a shift from guitar based drone music to modular synths provided a long sought after solution to creating generative, slowly changing, self evolving soundscapes which could still be controlled by the player. With the aid of a/v programming languages like Max/MSP and Processing the project now is taking on a visual manifestation as well.RGB Riot was an EP released in early 2020 that showcases the opposite of these ideas and focuses on minimalism and what can be done with nothing but a couple of Pocket Operators and a delay pedal. The range of glitchy to drone and anywhere in between is welcome territory. At his core Sleep of Eons is inspired greatly by science fiction and the seires Rendevous with Rama and hopes to capture some of that monolithic, alien, otherwordly yet familiar feeling in musical and visual form.Links:https://www.instagram.com/sleepofeons/ https://sleepofeons.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/sleepofeons https://facebook.com/sleepofeons

Yates Zaldevour

About:Yates is an Atlanta native artist. He spent his early years on drums and guitar in metal bands before discovering synths in the early 90’s. He has an avid love for the sonic artistry of early industrial acts and how they performed. He currently finds himself in a few musical pathways from creating songs for Internet personalities, scores and sound fx for local film makers, and also a long time musical partner and he are developing a "band" based around live electronics inspired by how Author and punisher and Skinny Puppy plays instruments. He, like many others in the synth world, found himself deep in the modular wormhole. Yates Has a firm belief that his rig knows what he is feeling and knows how to spit it back out at him in ways you wouldn’t expect. This session was recorded while under the thumb of chaotic life happenings during the month of sept 2022. It represents a lot of emotions from anger to peace. A sonic pallet swirling inside a black hole millions of light years away from earth. Links:https://yateszaldevour.bandcamp.com

Bio: Ecotech is a solo electronic music project started by Zachary Sedefianin January 2021. Ecotech often releases dub techno or deep house tracks, but he also records a lot of other music. His submission to Data Cult Audio is an amalgamation of experiments he made in Upstate New York and Lima, Peru. The first half is an exploration of the MengQi Wing Pinger as an instrument, accompanied by a Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus, Lorre-Mill DoubleKnot, and eurorack modular synthesizer. In the second half Ecotech used a Charango (traditional Andean instrument), iPhone, and Cocoquantus to make contemplative grainy soundscapes. This recording combines an interest in the limits of frequency modulation and ping with time-stretched garden sounds and false nostalgia.Links: https://ecotech.bandcamp.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/Ecotechnologist https://www.instagram.com/ecotechnologist_/

It’s incredibly fulfilling to be a part of large scale projects and build things that get put to use everyday. Each construction site has a strong energy - energy from the site itself and especially from the people that work there. It’s a loud and in-your-face energy that has a positive, forward momentum. This recording is a distillation of that energy. Some of the beats are brand new and some are taken from my album, "Everything is a Nail". Shoutout to the Data Cult Audio crew for inviting me back.

About:Glinca is Tazio Iacobacci, a composer from Sicily, Italy.In the early ‘90’s he started making music as a drummer with several noise bands.In 2002 he joined a band called “Tellaro", a slow core project signed to 2nd Records which put out four releases. At the same time he developed his interest in composing music ranging from acoustic to electronic soundscapes and he mainly did this under the moniker "Pola" (three records, the first released on Ionik Recordings).He joined several productions as a drummer, guitarist and programming electronic stuff.Actually he started making music with modular synths under the “Glinca" moniker and put out three records, the last one on Werra Foxma Records.  "In general, the way I compose does not follow a pre-determined path.Sometimes I search for a sound.Melodic lines are often extrapolated by a process of subtraction:I make a pattern of 16 random notes, I keep 4 or 5 of them, just to make things clear.I leave a lot of room for randomness and in this particular respect, modular synths are perfect. I am into the idea of preserving as much as possible the random melodic line I get from the overall modular process. Lately I've been trying to write music with just a few lines, no superstructures. For instance, the tracks I'm writing right now are compositions with two oscillators and only two melodic lines.No overdubs, pretty stripped down and minimalistic."Links:https://glinca.bandcamp.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Cn6XI5iZOGTvJkU8f272T https://www.instagram.com/glincamusic

Walker Farrell Is part of the Make Noise crew. When he was about 17 Walker composed a piano piece that was based around a chord he had "discovered". This particular chord, when broken out and arpeggiated, had a feeling that was both longing and uplifting simultaneously, a never-ending cadence, an equal temperament Shepard scale. It turned out to be minor-flat-6, though the phrasing was as important as the content. In C it was spelled C, G, Gb, Eb from bottom to top. Two perfect fifths separated by a minor second. It's also notable as the core of the Rachmaninoff Prelude in c# minor, which was a favorite of Walker’s at that time. Repeated, transposed, or reiterated in successively higher octaves, it had, for him, a sense of endless reaching. (It could also be spelled as an Ab Major 7th chord, but he always felt the C as the root.) In this decade Walker has been musically more interested in structural grounding than in goal-oriented results. He makes music without specific results in mind, in two branches: one concerned with the creation of structures within which to improvise, and the other concerned with generative music (music that creates itself). "Green Fiber" is one of his proudest examples of the latter. It is realized on a modular synthesizer, and based on three ideas: 1. The notion that any given "state" of the system should follow from the previous state, and should lay the grounds for the next state. 2. The oxymoronic or perhaps redundant idea of processing an additive oscillator with a frequency-specific resonator; this leads to occasional periods of great intensity when particular frequencies are emphasized twice over. 3. The above-mentioned chord and the feelings it still inspires in him. The sense of "always ending and always beginning" seems appropriate for generative music that cannot have a larger structure imposed upon it. The piece is played without any input from the performer. In other words the system is the performer. The recording was made without being monitored by a human. On 6/2/17 Walker released a new EP of improvised computer music. Please check it out!

Kimchi Princess lives in San Francisco and composes musical sounds with modular synthesizers. After falling in love with late nineties rave music, Kimchi has been exploring the world of sound synthesis ever since. Kimchi has no formal musical training, doesn’t play any other instruments, and had left the world of music production after burning out on software (and the inherent trap of endless editing) many years ago. But still Kimchi listened, feverishly, voraciously, to the wide world of sound. A few years back Kimchi happened upon youtube videos of these strange devices and have thus entered the world of modular. About the track: Tech Duiin is a live piece recorded in one take using a eurorack modular synthesizer and pedal effects. No post processing or editing of any kind involved.

Flohr’s music explores timbre and texture through time by means of manual and automatic repetition, momentary gesture, and the construction of autonomous self-generative audio environments. His music draws on a diverse archive for its inspiration: from ambient, kosmische musik, jazz improvisation and tonal minimalist composition, through post-punk, industrial, techno and jungle, to the melodic and generative wing of contemporary modular synthesizer performance. A student but also a teacher, he is interested in being affected by sound, responding to it and being led by it. Recently he has been oriented more towards real time performance than "production". Beyond solo work he is a part of many duos: Marketa Lazarova, Fictions, Ordered Pairs, Efris. Affiliated with the Volta Laboratory Social Club and the Whisperbrick art collective.

Scott Metoyer

About:Scott Metoyer is an electronic musician, experimenter, software developer, and visual creator from Southern California. His work lies at the intersection of the concrete and the abstract, using technology, tools and generative processes to create intricate and evocative soundscapes. Scott uses a combination of modular synthesis, bespoke software, Reaktor, PureData, and hand-built custom controller hardware. He self-releases projects on Bandcamp, has many open source projects available on Github, and is currently designing a small range of boutique Eurorack modules.This release explores the hidden symphonies all around us, locked away in the mundane artifacts of consumerism. Scott has built Arduino-based custom controller hardware that extracts data from credit card magnetic stripes and numeric barcodes and uses it to generate MIDI note sequences and parameter control values. He captured the data ‘in the wild’ at grocery stores, libraries, and local shopping markets, often composing and recording in real-time using a small battery powered lunchbox modular synth. The results are a new take on found sounds - found melodies. The source code for Scott’s tools is open source and available on Github and you can watch some of his guerrilla composing sessions on Links:https://scottmetoyer.com/ https://scottmetoyer.bandcamp.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/6qQ9vhT0IvLRzNUQu7g51W https://www.youtube.com/user/scottmetoyerInstagram @scottmetoyermusic.

About:This Digital Landscape is comprised of Brooklyn-based artist, Trevor Clark and his Eurorack Modular System. He creates music for the long-winded listener and evokes deep contemplations through pounding rhythms and ever evolving digital and analog soundscapes. His debut album The Face You Wear // Is Not Your Own is available digitally and on cassette via Bandcamp. In a modular system, as in life, moments are unique in and of themselves. A charge, turn, or push causes catastrophic reactions that disappear as quickly as they came. A modular system makes recreating performances nearly impossible, resulting in a unique performance each time it is interacted with. These tracks are a collection of moments captured within the modular system.The first half of this set is inspired by David Foster Wallace’s 1996 novel Infinite Jest and the parabolic nature in which the plot unfolds, but ultimately does not resolve. The beginning and end are chaotic and mirror one another, while the middle is more sparse, but contains the true essence of the piece.

About:Eric Schlappi is a musician/engineer originally from Arizona, currently residing in Portland, Oregon. He has been performing with, recording, and exploring analog synthesizers since the early 2000s, which has led him into designing and manufacturing his own instruments as Schlappi Engineering. As a musician he is interested in liminal spaces and transformations from the familiar to the unrecognizable (and back again.) He is also interested in live improvisation and physical manipulation of sound.This set is a live-in-the-studio version of the recent live set, consisting of three songs and a lot of improvisation within them. The first and third songs are not yet on any release and titled Dorcas and Court Intrigue. The second is a reimagining of The Last Incantation off of the Poseidonis release. The titles refer to events within fantasy books by Gene Wolfe and Clark Ashton Smith, respectively.Links:https://ericschlappi.bandcamp.comhttp://www.ericschlappi.com/https://schlappiengineering.com/
