Speak & Glitch GND 1T // a charming synth that puts the “mental” in experimental music + Patreon exclusive audio
Hi!
My last video of the year is an odd one, well, at least the synth is. Speak and Glitch GND-1T is a celebration of modulation, randomization and mayhem with a circuit bent emulation of TI's chip from the famous Speak and Spell toy from 1978, along with a generative drum sequencer that responds to audio and several mod sources in a very original way.
GND-1T is a passion project of Richard Van Hoesel from Australia, and it shows. It isn't easy to use, but it sure packs character and generates sounds like no other synth. More info in the video, and attached to this post is an exclusive audio download that's around twice as long as the one in the video.
It starts calm but quickly goes into wilder territories, so speakers beware!
Happy holidays!
