Talking Serge, cybernetics & techno with Chris Miller (Gunnar Haslam/La Synthese Humaine)

Tom and Luke are joined by a special guest for this episode of Signal Flow: Chris Miller, aka Gunnar Haslam, La Synthese Humaine (and many, many other aliases). Chris was a leading light in the early 2010s New York techno scene and has gone on to use the Serge modular synthesiser to explore analogue computing, cybernetics, and experimental sound design through his revered YouTube channel, La Synthese Humaine. He has also worked at Moog, where he produced and presented a superb series on the basics of synthesis, is one half of the excellent Base Camp Beta podcast with Shawn O’Sullivan, and is an all-round good egg with a wealth of knowledge on everything from experimental music to science, philosophy and economics. Hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!
