Here is a performance video using the Soma Laboratory Enner instrument, designed by Sistor. My goal for this was to make something rhythmically interesting using click drumming and panning with my fingers, and then adding primal screams from the synth side of the instrument. This synth is very geared towards both drones and rhythms, as well as using the piezo pickup with the case, spring, and rubber bands to make added percussive sounds. I'm very excited to continue exploring and find even more sounds. I'm making use of the resonance of the case to create taps that spin out infinitely using the delay. I've added some annotations to try to give you an idea of what I'm thinking while I'm doing these improvisations. This synth is patched using touch, and I love the idea of having an instrument that I can use my hands on to create sound and have a direct connection to the music. I am using the west coast technique of starting with something and spinning it out like a centrifuge. I'm processing the sound through an Eventide H9 pedal with some reverb and a Boss RC-5 looper pedal. Hopefully this camera angle also helps you learn something!

Patch Notes
Soma Synths Enner to Eventide H9 and Boss RC-5 looper pedal. My fingers are the patch cords, creating a live patching situation.
