Qu-Bit Nebulae V2 Review

Since my system was made for processing field recordings, and because I already have an Octatrack to take care of my sampling needs, I hadn’t really paid much attention to the sampling modules out there for eurorack. However, getting Nebulae into my rack was a game changer. Being able to play back field recordings from the rig meant I didn’t have to rely on an external source.

Belizean Heat Live at the Maker Faire (and Octatrack Nerdery)

I was asked to play the Vancouver Mini Maker Faire again this year and I felt like playing something new. The last two years in a row I had played Sonidos de Cuba, although each performance was quite different as one used Ableton and the other used the Octatrack. Since returning from Belize I had started using those fresh recordings to create new music and I was excited to play it out and get some feedback.
