I find modular to be the oddest trend, not in terms of the music that you guys are obviously making but more so this proclivity among techno producers to use a modular to create a 4/4 with some bloops on top. in that sphere it seems like pure fetishism, using a tool to imbue your music with some sorta warped cultural/intellectual value. which isn't to say that when placed in the right hands it can't be really great, and I'm loving it for shifting listeners' attentions back to live music in particular, giving ordinarily quite tepid music at least some sense of volatility.
