Скачать или смотреть Patch Notes 035: In the Park | Singing Alongside Mutable Instruments Plaits, Blades, Rings, Beads

Tileset EP out now at http://scratchdiskfull.com/patricklem...

It's been a while but I'm excited to update Patch Notes with "In the Park"—the first time I've tried singing along with my modular synth. My patches often follow an A/B song structure so I've been looking forward to adding vocals since the series started. Curious to know what you think! 🏞
