“Ancestor” Released on Music from SEAMUS, Vol. 35

by SimonPosted on No Comments

I’m pleased to share that my piece Ancestor for Apple Watch and Eurorack synthesizers has been released on “Music from SEAMUS, vol. 35”, a collection of works selected from the 2025 SEAMUS National Conference, now available through New Focus Recordings.


Ancestor is one of my series of ongoing creative projects that explore hybrid systems of both digital control and analog synthesis. In this piece, I send data from (digital) wearable technology (Apple Watch) through OSC to my Eurorack to control analog synthesis. The piece uses biometric and movement data coming from the watch, leveraging the benefits of digital control and the immediacy of analog synthesis.


Live Eurorack & Kyma Performance at Bleep/Blorp 2026

Combining digital and analog synthesis in a live set at Bleep/Blorp 2026. Kyma provides a control-brain and processing for analog Eurorack synthesized sounds.

I swear I didn’t cut out my head here on purpose. I just set up the camera quickly, focused on the performance, and came back to find out I censored out my face in a hilarious way.

Anyway, this is my live performance at Bleep/Blorp 2026 (April 18, Stonehill College), exploring solarpunk and eco‑grime(?) aesthetics, blending digital processing and sampling with hands‑on modular patching to create distorted rhythms connected to the sound of the natural world.

Using Kyma for real‑time digital processing and real-time control, alongside analog synthesis in Eurorack, this performance imagines hopeful futures, with ecological awareness and technological grit.
