V005 — the family sessions: three public-domain works played live by LUNAR-24, PULPO-23 and CATCH-22 over one NYDUS wire — captured as heard, no overdubs.

THE INSTRUMENT

FAMILY SESSIONS

Three instruments, one wire — NYDUS carries clock, audio and CV between LUNAR-24, PULPO-23 and CATCH-22. Four public-domain works, played live by the trio and captured as heard — no samples, no overdubs.
