All Synthesizers (2022)

When the first synthesizers came along, a whole new dimension of sound production came into being. Instead of piano keys or guitar frets, you were faced with dozens of switches, knobs and sliders that enabled an infinite amount of combinations. And one combination sounded as good as the other - how could one find the ideal sound? Any systematic approach seemed absurd; a foretaste of research on the internet.
But there is a solution, a strategy for finding the right sound: You decide on one. The first one is the best. All the other billions of sounds are left behind - for the time being. I choose this one, that‘s it. Not only coincidences play a role in life, we sometimes also have to actively practice chance. Sound waves are like sperm.
