Through his poetic lens, we witness modular’s power to shape not just sound, but narrative, emotion, and the very texture of music itself.

Frap Tools: Ben Carey on Feedback Patching, Tactile Design and Resonant Modular Workflows

In this episode from Frap Tools, Australian composer and educator Ben Carey takes us through his journey from classical saxophone to the unpredictable world of modular synthesis. The conversation dives deep into the tactile joys of patching, the creative divide between building custom instruments and using ready-made synths, and the unique character of feedback and resonance in modular patches. With a dry wit and a patch-oriented perspective, the discussion unpacks not just the technical details of Carey’s latest patch, but also the philosophical and practical reasons why hands-on control and generative processes remain at the heart of inspiring electronic music.
