How Textures Tell a Story

Some instruments ache by themselves. You play a note and you hear a struggle and a loneliness. The SOMA Lyra-8 synthesizer is such an instrument to me. A single note from it has a lot of sounds and noises around it that make me feel like „it has seen things“. Its Klangfarbe, its timbre, is rich yet tainted, even in its brightest moments. In this video, I reflect on how "broken by design" timbres affect composition in electronic music.
