Esoteric Modulation
Esoteric Modulation was a podcast delving into the creative expression of modular synthesis, standalone synthesizers, Eurorack, and unconventional esoteric electronic instruments — including Buchla, Ciat-Lonbarde, Soma, Folktek, and much much more!
Between 2019 and 2020, we explored the creative intersections of electronic music and the arts, conducting in-depth interviews with musicians, artists, and innovators. We regularly featured inspiring guests discussing their creative process, instruments, and art projects.
From esoteric gear to experimental soundscapes, our conversations tried to uncover the unique and inspirational! Hopefully, our musings on all these topics added to the rich tapestry of creative ideas we wanted to champion to our audience. While we're not currently producing new episodes, Esoteric Modulation may return in the future — so stay tuned! Keep an eye on our website and socials for any updates. In the meantime, we hope you've enjoyed the journey so far! Stay creative and stay inquisitive. All the best, Ed & Ben.
