In 2023, Modlu@rnice series hosts monthly Voltages Chirping Vehemently (VCV) online meetings for modular synthesis with the VCV Rack 2 simulator, which contains over 1.800 free and open simulations of Eurorack modules. The sessions occur online to facilitate access, especially for those not living in Ljubljana. The meetings are conceived as an open format for peer-to-peer learning, with participants suggesting topics and influencing the course of the meeting. Each session is dedicated to building one music modular patch, correlating two thematic aspects: musical/genre (rhythmic, harmonic, polyphonic, polyrhythmic, textures, granulation, pads, generative music) and technical/methodological (clocks, quantifiers, sequencers, granular synthesis, phase reversal, gated filter, connection to acoustic instruments and external MIDI controllers, ring modulation). One of the goals of the meetings is to search for Slovenian equivalents for modular synthesis terms that are not currently established. All video documentation is available exclusively in Slovenian.
After following the introduction, anyone can join the online meeting. Meetings are held every first Sunday of the month at 8 p.m. More information at: ida@beepblip.org and rea@projekt-atol.si.
