Experimental music made with modular and semi-modular gear from Malaysia!

Hi there,

I have recently released my debut CD called Reverse Image "The Silence that does not Exist" on a label called Khatulistiwa. Gear used - Eurorack, Mother-32, Behringer 2600 Blue Marvin, O-coast, Strega, Recovery Mystic, Eowave Quadrantid Swarm, guitar pedals, Ableton, etc.

"Reverse Image is a sound artist from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She builds her works using analogue and digital equipment looking for the intersection between repetitive motifs and disjointed incidences.The title is inspired by the search for moments of silence amidst the discord.

Recordings from 2022-2023."

You can stream the entire album on Bandcamp :

Excellent!
Finally, serious business begins...

• Did you take note of which modules (and possibly semi-modulars associated) you used for this piece?
• It seems to be essentially generative. Did you add some manual interventions? Any ‘tweaks’ on the fly?
  (Personally I most often keep a detailed record of these two aspects).

Bravo for the visual on the side (the video): it does not distract attention for the music.
Really nice work.

Thank you for your encouraging words!

I would have an idea from a photo of my half-filled minimalistic rig back from the very beginnings of my modular journey. Just Eurorack in action but I doubt I can re-create the same piece again from memory.

  (Personally I most often keep a detailed record of these two aspects).

It was a direct recording of an improvised piece with spontaneous tweaks and forgotten patches. Another track - "Dreamer is Awake" is a full modular track which I might be able to re-create mostly using the Data Bender.

Thank you again for your kind words! :-)

We can encourage listeners to discover the album on Bandcamp. (NB. the links here do not seem to work on Safari - to be checked - but one can copy and paste the url, or use this one: The Silence that does not Exist). Btw, special mention for ‘Lunar Inclination’, ‘Still Air Vibrates’, and of course ‘Dimensional Wreck’.

Thank you so much for recommending this album! I have also amended the weblinks to function as they should and I will add this weblink to the Lunar Inclination track :-)
