In this video sound designer and installation artist Robert Wiki Aubrey Lowe introduces the audience to his use of modular synthesis in his creation of new works. He like the way there are no rules for modular synthesis and that this feeds into his improvisations which are central to his creative process.

There is an organic sound to his work which has an element of sequenced rhythms and rich deep sounds full of harmonic content. He is concerned with vocal elements and these can be heard quite clearly in the piece he composes for the audience from scratch. There is also an industrial element which almost sounds like machines groaning under the strain of creating the music.
