Modulisme
Modulisme (which translates as Modularism) is devoted to out of leftfield modular synthesis. This week: What happens when a piano goes off the rails, a trumpet splits in two and a modular synthesiser conjures sounds with no apparent source? In Hans Castrup’s world, nothing stays in place. Sounds collide, shed their identities and emerge as something unexpected. A German painter, photographer and musician, Castrup has explored sound since recording on a Synthi AKS in 1982. He cuts, layers and reassembles acoustic instruments, electronic textures and field recordings, resisting the comfort of a signature style. For more information visit modular-station.com. [Repeats Sunday 5am.]
