Fool's Paradise by Joel St. Julien

This is a recording of my performance at the Colorado Modular Synth Society’s January Skies livestream on January 24, 2021. This recording is me at my most restrained, patient, and minimal as I continue to deepen my practice with modular synthesis. I worked out this patch shortly after the insurrection attempt and was reminded of the delusional nature of white supremacy and how for that moment they lived in their Fool’s Paradise.

Joel St. Julien is a Haitian-American composer, musician, songwriter, and sound artist based in San Francisco. Joel has written music for documentaries, short / feature films, podcasts, and dance. He is a firm believer in experimentation/fusion with acoustic and electronic elements in sound oscillating through escapism and the mysticism of the present tense.
