Rogue Patterns by Steevio

This was originally a vinyl only 2 x12" album on Mindtours.
(unfortunately no longer available)
I started work on this album in 2003, 5 years before I moved over to modular synthesis and it marked a turning point for me as there was a very specific concept behind it.
The idea was to use mainly polymetric rhythm, bass and melodic patterns set against mostly broken beat kick drums, using a 'nodal' system I devised specifically for this album. So syncopations and significant events happen at mathematically appropriate points rather than the usual 8/16/32 etc.. associated with 4/4.
For instance if a track is say a combination of 3/4, 5/4, 7/8 time signatures, these nodes will occur at 15, 21, 30, 35, 42, 45, etc etc.. x 1/16ths, beats , bars etc. with major changes happening at the confluence of all 3 time signatures eg. 105 (3x5x7) beats/ bars etc..
I still use this system today with my modular work, infact it was to make it easier and more improvisational to implement this system that I moved over to modular in 2008.
Equipment used on this album;
Roland TR909, Roland Sh101, Nord lead, Nord Lead 3, Access Virus B, Sherman Filterbank2, Mooger Fooger pedals.
