Developer of the ADDAC series of synthesizer modules, André Gonçalves has released an album, Offbeats, that displays some of the potential of the company’s ADDAC406 Clock Bender. The ten tracks, just numbered one through ten, display various ways that pulses and time signatures can become vibrant little ecosystems, from the muggy realms of “Offbeat VII” to the hypnotically phased percussion of “Offbeat III” to sci-fi techno-environment of the closing track.
From the module’s description on the ADDAC site:
This module introduces a unique approach to rhythm, it can add complexity to any pattern by superimposing extremely odd divisions creating syncopation and rhythmic complexity. It provides extensive possibilities for rhythmic creation, transforming static rhythmic patterns into dynamic and complex rhythmic layering enhancing the rhythmic foundation set by the primary clock. It allows users to explore and generate rhythms in previously unattainable ways.
Gonçalves explains on the album’s Bandcamp page that the material was recorded “throughout several sessions while testing its Firmware.”
