Description

I think I've seen the handle VICMOD bouncing around the internet forever. I've also been listening to the music of Cray for a while, too. But only recently did I actually put 2 and 2 together to realize that this was the same person! I've always like the Cray music for its breadth and honesty - it really sounded like a person's inner voice, rather than whatever a synth might naturally produce. And in talking with him, it is clear that this is his primary objective: heartfelt improvisation and sound design. From his earliest work with a janky 486 computer to his current obsession with Omnisphere (with Buchla, Serge and Eurorack in-between), Ross has exercised almost any machine you can imagine. The result is a person that is looking to be surprised by his environment - and is constantly searching for those surprises. After our chat, Ross was apparently spurred into digging into the archives, and has release the following for the listeners: https://vicmodcray.bandcamp.com/album/geometric-patterns-made-of-love-and-understanding You can also check out the whole VICMOD label catalog here: http://www.vicmod.net/ And, as Ross himself says, check out his work on discogs.com to dig into more of his past: https://www.discogs.com/artist/621720-Ross-Healy Enjoy!
