“Kapow!” is the record of an exploratory dialogue session between the members of the Argentine electronic music ensemble Klauss with some of the instruments, modular systems and devices in their studio/laboratory, La Siesta Del Fauno, with which they feel most identified for “composition performances” in real time.

This piece was recorded in three takes. The first take constitutes the primal body -50 minutes long- of a “sound conversation” between Ernesto Romeo (using Moog Modular with sequencers, ribbon and keyboard and the EMS VCS3 and Synthi AKS), Francisco Nicosia (in command of the synthesizers Yamaha CS80, Korg 700s and Roland Jupiter 4) and

Lucas Romeo (with the Roland GR300 GTR-Synth plus various processors). Immediately, in a second take, Pablo Gil recorded other textures using two Argentine modular synthesizers (Sistemas Modulares Núcleo and Sebo Synths) and a few days later noise details were added in a third take by Ernesto (MiniMoog Voyager XL). The final track is an overlay and intermix of three different stereo mixdown versions.

Since the formation of the Klauss project, at the end of the 80s, until today it has always been a priority for the different members to permanently establish systems of musical dialogues for the construction of soundscapes that are built in real time from the relationship of spontaneous ideas arising from individual voices that build a totality that avoids soliloquies.


Modulisme is a platform that aims to support original composing, for analog modular systems but not only… A radio program airing music made using modular systems… Each program lasts one hour and is especially dedicated to one composer and featuring some exclusive music made for us.
