Data Cult Audio 0027 - Sam Cape

Samuel Cape has been studying and writing music for 25 years, but stopped playing in bands in 2005.  Sam played guitar in Atlanta based metal bands Dawn of Orion and also Signs of Dying for which he was a founding member, guitarist, and drum machine programmer.  Shortly after graduating from Georgia Tech with a Master's Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, he began focusing on developing technology used for anti-counterfeiting of currency.  His career has brought him deep into a unique technological niche that involves animation, algorithm design, programming, and mathematics.  Several years ago, Sam started recording music again and began building a home studio.   The piece here, titled "Rachaph", strives to illustrate creation as an interference pattern generated by echoes of the past, visions of the future, and the tangibility of the present moment. Riffs from a 2003 Signs of Dying recording were loaded into the Eurorack Synth module - "Equation Composer" and manipulated further with custom firmware that Sam created.  Additional textures come from several other Eurorack patches using Moog, Mutable Instruments, Befaco, 4ms and TipTop modules.  Recorded and manipulated further in Propellerhead Reason software. Sam is currently looking for opportunities in Film Scoring and Video Game Sound. Instagram, Twitter: @CapedSam https://soundcloud.com/sam-cape
