Now that they’re more expressive and more affordable than ever, analog modulars are finding their way into a lot of visualist studios. Here’s a teaser of some work by reader Johnny Woods.

The LZX was a huge underground (literally) hit of the NAMM show, squirreled away in the basement of the Anaheim Convention Center. Their stuff is doing some simply amazing stuff, and the best demonstration is the impact they have on human behavior. People are simply mesmerized by them, staring into their brilliantly-colored displays (some of which really require a CRT, not YouTube).
