Cgs synth

I think that the interesting results come from the relations
between this sources and the cadence of them (since are
natural) Of course you can obtain nice waves from a psycho LFO,
or many.
And is also nice if you are there, making the music from that
sources.
Conceptually I do not find that specially interesting, and -as a
side note- I do not like at all conceptual art
Now I think this is going offfffff topiiiiic

At least with
