contingent basics from 3.0 by durance

from 3.0, released May 15, 2025
Creating audio under various monikers since the early 2000s, durance has developed a sound focused on controlled probabilities - with a production approach that balances randomness and deterministic rules. Over the years, they have developed an obsession for crisp drums, modulated reverbs, FM synthesis and chance-based melodic progressions. The toolkit of the project involves Max/MSP, Ableton Live and a Eurorack system. durance draws inspiration from snowy mountains, finding strategies to escape the feeling of eco-anxiety and — of course — that magic moment when you frequency-modulate a sine wave with white noise.
