Studio no. 2 on Stereo Dyads | Performance breakdown with Francesco Gennari

In this new episode, ‪@francescogennarimusic‬ plays his new étude for Eurorack synthesizer and breaks it down. It is focused on "stereo dyads", i.e., chords of two notes only that are spaced across the stereo field. In this video, he will guide us through his compositional approach (which begins on the piano) and the techniques he used to bring it all together, which include using filters as oscillators and modulating stomp box effects through the USTA sequencer.
