This was quite similar to how I found my way into the world of modular. Having also approached it from an experimental perspective, I was initially a bit intimidated by the scale (and cost) of it all. When the time came to buy modules, I purposefully acquired modules which might suit a particular project or area of sound manipulation I was interested in - a simple oscillator, wavefolder or ADSR for example. Four years later, my modular set up is more or less settled. It might resemble a bit of hodgepodge to others, but it compliments my practice in a way that feels unique to the medium, joining the array of other instruments and equipment in my studio. Good luck with the journey!
Hi Tristan, it's great to hear your modular story. I don't know where it will lead yet, it's that moment of "beginner's mind" that I'm determined to fully exploit! But I hope like you I'll slowly find the ways to integrate it with my other gear and techniques. Thanks for dropping by!
