Modular
Live Set
A one-take chapter in an ongoing search for the most organic meeting point between the person, the emotion and the electronic system. Arrangement, synthesis, space and transitions remain playable from beginning to end.
WHAT IS ACTUALLY PERFORMED LIVE?
Not a finished track pressed play.
The sounds and possibilities are prepared; the emotional form is not. The final shape only exists when the system meets the performer and the atmosphere of that moment.
- Rhythm engineTRK-01 holds six kick sounds, six bass sounds and six rhythmic patterns for each voice. Their sounds, patterns and mutes are changed live from Push 3.
- AtmosphereTwo Reaktor Modular Lab patches form the evolving environment. Push 3 shapes their musical behaviour; Twister controls their main reverb and delay space.
- Played voicesTwo FORM presets and one MASSIVE preset are played and controlled from Push 3, including arpeggiator timing and performance effects.
- SpaceThe principal reverb and delay controls for Modular Lab, FORM and MASSIVE remain under the fingers on MIDI Fighter Twister.
- FormAPC64 manages channel levels, playing order and mutes, keeping the overall architecture visible while details are performed elsewhere.

THE PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
Eight roles.
One expressive circuit.
Select any instrument or controller to see how sound, structure and expression are distributed through the system.
The central environment where every instrument and controller meets. Live 12 carries the routing and scene logic, but the arrangement is deliberately left open so emotion and atmosphere can redirect the performance in the moment.
SELECTED MODULE
Ableton Live 12
The central environment where every instrument and controller meets. Live 12 carries the routing and scene logic, but the arrangement is deliberately left open so emotion and atmosphere can redirect the performance in the moment.
A system designed to disappear into expression.
This first episode is not the announcement of a final setup. It is the latest meeting point in a long search: how can technology become transparent enough for feeling to enter the music immediately?
The search began inside DJ sets and continued through hybrid-live performance. Each version brought the music closer to the hands, but also revealed a new distance to remove. The purpose of this system is not to display complexity. It is to create the most organic possible encounter with myself — to speak naturally, to shape emotion quickly inside the music and to let the music reshape itself around my emotional state and the atmosphere of the moment.
The sound sources are intentionally limited but deeply variable: two Reaktor Modular Lab patches establish the atmosphere; two FORM presets and one MASSIVE preset provide voices that can be physically played; TRK-01 supplies a kick-and-bass engine with six sounds and six patterns for each side. This creates a vocabulary large enough to move, but small enough to know intuitively.
Control is separated according to musical attention. Push 3 is the primary instrument: it plays FORM and MASSIVE, shapes Modular Lab, and changes TRK-01 sounds, patterns and mutes. MIDI Fighter Twister keeps reverb and delay continuously available so space can follow emotion without changing pages. APC64 carries the larger form — channel levels, mutes and playing order — so the whole set remains visible while the hands work on detail.
“My aim is to shape emotion inside the music as quickly as I feel it — and to let the music change with my emotion and the atmosphere around me.”
Musically, arpeggiated material becomes the connective tissue between minimal tension, deep-tech weight and a more progressive final movement. These are not fixed tracks placed beside one another. They are expressions found inside one live system. Some may later become standalone releases; here, their first value is that they reveal where the search is going next.
PERFORMANCE MAP
Six movements, not six tracks.
- 01
Opening
The system opens slowly: pulse, space and the first modular signals.
- 02
Second movement
Arpeggios take the lead and the rhythmic frame becomes more defined.
- 03
Modular transition
Reaktor textures pull the arrangement away from the grid.
- 04
Deep-tech section
A tighter low-end and reduced harmonic language shift the centre of gravity.
- 05
Progressive movement
Longer arcs, brighter layers and accumulating motion reshape the set.
- 06
Closing section
Elements are removed in real time and the system returns to air and pulse.
