The work of Atau Tanaka exists at a point where instrument, body, and system merge.

For his session on Modulisme, he brings this research into a direct, physical form.

Using an analog modular synthesizer, he integrates EMG sensors that translate muscle activity into control data.

The patch is no longer shaped by hand alone.

It is continuously modulated by internal micro-variations of tension.

Gesture no longer triggers sound.

It becomes it.

What emerges is a single system, where the modular synthesizer acts as an extension of muscular activity, responding in real time to intention, effort, and the slightest contraction.

"Modulisme," formerly "Early ElectroMIX," 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 features some exclusive music made for us.
