Another long trip into the universe of modular synthesis in the form of multiple interconnected Dinosaurs and other creatures, old and new, big and small. What were tunnels, caves and dungeons is now a multi-dimensional maze of colored patch cables, each one connecting processing blocks together, the last ones feeding loudspeakers through complex software. Chance has an influence in the sonic adventures to be had, as a minor twist of a knob, or the push of a forgotten button can open unexpected realms of sound and noise. While detailed planning of the journey seems futile if you look at the spaguetti of sound, it is always there as the backbone of the quest. There could be Dungeons, or maybe this is just Dance Dance Dinosaur... (and in case you did not notice, Dragons are just Flying Dinosaurs that have lit their fiery breath)

Fernando Lopez-Lezcano was given a choice of instruments when he was a kid and liked the piano best. His dad was an engineer and philosopher, his mother loved biology, music and the arts. He studied both music and engineering, and thrives on a balanced diet of art and technology. He throws computers, software algorithms, engineering and sound into a blender and serves the result with ice in tall glasses, and over many speakers. He can hack Linux for a living, and likes to pretend he can still play the piano. He built El Dinosaurio from scratch 40+ years ago, and it still sings its modular songs. He also loves to distill music from pure software.
