Hybrid Digital/Analog Performance (with Eurorack and SymbolicSound Kyma)

Talking through connecting SymbolicSound Kyma and Eurorack modular synthesizers, combining digital control and analog sound in a hybrid live performance system.

In this video, I break down the setup I used for my recent Bleep/Blorp 2026 performance, where Kyma (controlled via iPad) works as a control brain and effects processor for a Eurorack system. By getting these systems to talk to each other, you can combine the precision and reproducibility of digital with the organic, tactile character of analog modular synthesis. I talk, too, about the philosophical differences between electronic DJ controls and instrumental control, showing how a mix of both can come together for an effective electronic solo performance.
