WHY WE BLEEP 003: TALKING LIVE MODULAR WITH EBCIDIC (FORMERLY VCOADSR)

In this episode we’re very excited to meet live dark-techno-modular musician Ebcidic, formerly known as VCOADSR. Known in person as Phil Bilsby, Phil has developed a highly polished and well crafted rig for live performance, honed via extensive trial and error, and we discuss the story of its development in this episode. But we talk about much more as well - many thoughts about live music in general, preparing sets vs. improvisation, the importance of adding expression to your rig (and how), for starters. This should be very interesting listening for anyone curious to know more about how to play live, and thinking about building a modular synth full stop. So hit play, and check out Ebcidic’s music via accompanying show notes.
