See the title. How conscious has your patching become over time? Not in an aphex twin kind of way (remember the bullshit stories he told reporters about recording music while sleeping?), but more in a, I make a specific connection in a premeditated way and once I turn up the volume the produced sound will be what I expected, way.
When I got my first starter rack 3 years ago I was basically patching by trial and error, what happens when I route this patch point into this patch point etc... Which more than often resulted in very surprising sounds or no sounds at all which basically built my modular vocabular, I guess.
Fast forward a couple of years and many more modules and it seems like my patching has become more premeditated, I patch much more with a certain goal in mind. Once I have a sound then I might elaborate on ways of modulating the result but apart from that there are less surprises. I guess I miss those early days of wonder where I was just discovering the modular and all its endless possibilities. This said, whenever I use the dAEdband module by keurslagerkurt I patch without any real expectation because I still don't really understand what the darn thing does
