Erik Satie's Gnossienne No 1 for Modular Synthesizer

This is another of Satie's beautiful melodies done using just analog sequencers. It uses the Synthesizers.com Q119 and Q960 and the Analogue Solutions Oberkorn 3 as well as the MoonModular M563 trigger sequencer. It also uses MoonModulars M564 and Club of the Knobs C962B sequential switches. The M564 is used to switch the gate busses and the COTK is used to play the three rows of the Oberkorn and then 16 steps of the Q119. The M563 is used to control the timing of the bass and chords. Trying to synchronise the three step sequencers, two sequential switches and the trigger sequencer with the rows shifting at different rates proved to be very challenging. The only effect used apart from the Modcan digital delay is some reverb.

Due to this clip, I'm now the proud owner of an analog modular synthesizer! This clip just blew me away.

Many thanks to the author! You opened my eyes.

This is such an incredibly beautiful rendition of one of Satie's most beautiful tracks, it's just perfect. I keep coming back here.... would you by any chance have a decent recording of this? (as flac or ogg, mp3...) thanks!! :)

[justwaving]

Thanks for the super comments. Unfortunately, this is the only recording I have of the piece.
