Underdog Electronic Music School: Feedback Delays as Sonic Storytellers

What if the heart of your synth patch wasn’t an oscillator, but a feedbacking delay—a living, wailing entity that breathes instability into every note? In this immersive exploration, Underdog Electronic Music School guides us through a decade-long search for a sound that slips, slides, and howls with magnetic resonance. We drift through modular landscapes and digital realms, chasing the spectral textures that once haunted Kangding Ray’s productions. Prepare to unmoor your expectations: this is sound design as narrative, where each drone is a nebula and every pulse a flicker of fractured light.
