Radio LBB: Let's Get Synthy

At Antfood, we are fans of all kinds of instruments (and anything else that makes sound), but modular synthesisers hold a special place in our hearts - and our studios. 

The patch in our Amsterdam studio was built by ECD, Pedro Botsaris. It took him a year to build, but a little like La Sagrada Familia, it’s never really done, and that’s the beauty of it. ⁠For those of you new to the modular synth world...“It’s basically a collection of individual modules, each with its own specific function such as filters, oscillators and amplifiers, and then connected by physical cables. They are incredibly flexible instruments, but you wouldn't get even a bleep out of them without some knowledge of audio synthesis and electronics. In that way, they’re a perfect conduit to learning how sound works," according to Pedro.⁠

It may seem like just a nice hobby, but you'd be surprised how handy it is for commercial projects too. We've put together a playlist of some great synthesiser tracks for you to enjoy!
