Description
This Eurorack case is dominated by a stack of Harvestman modules. Scott Jaeger aka the Harvestman (Washington, USA) came to Eurorack from a thrash metal background after buying a Doepfer system in the late 2000s, and combined his love of circuit bending, metal and digital into founding Industrial Music Electronics in 2007. IME modules have an immediacy and intuitiveness, and an intensity of sonic character. Also in this case are plenty of Iron Curtain Electronics modules, a Harvestman collab with Vladimir Kuzmin, circuit designer of the legendary Russian synthesizer of the 80s, Polivoks (Polyvox). Alongside the IME collection is a range of Snazzy FX modules, designed by New York techno producer Dan Snazelle, who has been producing modules since 2010, with the intention to ‘knock things over and create beautiful sounds’. Not to forget the NW1 Wavetable (Waldorf’s 2015 debut into Eurorack, designed by Stefan Stenzel and Axel Hartmann, Germany) is an advanced wavetable engine with independent control of spectral envelope and noisiness, producing all kinds of vivid metallic hues and digital clangorous tones, using the Waldorf wavetable set from the classic Waldorf Microwave and Wave synthesizers.
