Lush artwork and premise for this new LP. Polypores is mega prolific, not sure how he managed to release 12 albums in 2020 and everything I heard was great?!

Grabbed the vinyl for this. He seems to have a solid fanbase already amongst modular / synth geeks / Slutz

Quote

Chaos Blooms is an exploration of chaotic and random elements within composition, performed on modular synthesizer. As with random occurrences in nature, sometimes something beautiful emerges. Sometimes not. Chaos can be frightening as well as beautiful. When you think about the movement of water or flame, they can go both ways. Fire can burn a city to the ground, but also provide warmth. It's also very pretty to look at, there's never the same pattern twice. It's the same with water. I wanted to make an album that explored that, using randomly generated voltages to control various aspects of the composition, including pitch and timbre.
