In the last episode of our lengthy chat with Adrian Utley we take a look at some of his circuit bent toys, talk software synthesis, polysynths and translating the latest album Third into the live world with the use of ancient digital mixing desks. Finally we have a little tour of the modular setup.

Many thanks to Adrian for his generosity and valuable time in the making of this series.

Now this was another damn good series!Nice to see some artists out there tilting the lit a bit about how some of their ideas came together.A lot more exciting than some guy sitting behind his computer the whole time.These guys at least dare to experiment.
