Klemens Kohlweis & Staš Vrenko | Dirty Module
In the environment of intense DITOxication at last year's PIFcamp, Klemens Kohlweis and Staš Vrenko, basing off John Richards' (aka Dirty Electronics) Radical Chip, have designed Dirty Module - an algorithmic wavetable oscillator in the 4HP Eurorack format!
Radical Chip is a programmable PIC microprocessor that reads 5 stored wavetables with the use of 9 manipulable one-liner algorithms, opening up a plethora of sound possibilities, useful for tonal, percussive, textural and drone purposes. Dirty Module literally integrates the Radical Chip into its circuit as well as resonates with its structure and sound capabilities. The module can be operated with two potentiometers for manipulating the algorithm and a button for changing the algorithm and wavetable combination, via three CV inputs and two potentiometers to lower the input CV signals.
Each kit comes with a uniquely designed 3D-printed front panel.
Staš Vrenko
Staš Vrenko is an artist, musician and designer of electronic instruments. He holds a master’s degree from the Department of Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana. For his master’s thesis, he received the UL ALUO Prešeren Award for Students. His artistic practice traverses different fields of art, with an emphasis on research into sound, electronic media and technologies, kineticism, advanced fabrication technologies and performativity. In recent years, he has presented several solo projects, participated in festivals and exhibitions like U3, BIO, Pixxelpoint, IFCA, Kiblix and Lighting Guerrilla, and exhibited at many group exhibitions at home and abroad.
