malfunction_1++

Four cross-modulated Malström synthesizers, observed for 24 minutes. A Reason patch built in 2012 and recorded in 2025. The recording follows feedback and drift through the patch.

Overlay of a modular synth patch and reactive waveform visualizer. Fragmented interface. Ambient interference.
malfunction_1++ — artefact of a modular interface state

24 minutes of patch state observation.
A system tracing itself.


Patched in Reason 5 (2012),
recorded in 2025.
Four Malström synthesizers, cross-modulated.
Feedback, drift, granular collapse.

Hypnosis through interference.
Shared through signal.

This is not music.
It is a layer state.
A quiet artefact of modular consciousness.
