rakt with Chris Meyer | Plaits is a trap, Eurorack is not for everybody, Tips you've never heard of

Описание: ⚡ Chris Meyer was with us. ⚡

I had the chance to have a great conversation with the monument Chris Meyer, the man behind Patch & Tweak and LearningModular.com. This session was supposed to be an interview for an issue of rakt Newsletter. Watching this footage over and over forced me to put the whole thing out there. There's nothing better than listening to the experienced voice of Chris. Written words would have been too little.

I hope you will enjoy this teacher to student conversation as much as I did.
