Glou-Glou Bien Jolie: Benjolin in Pedal | Live Improv

In this video we explore Bien Jolie! by Glou-Glou, fascinating hybrid desktop effects pedal and standalone experimental synthesizer deeply inspired by Rob Hordijk's legendary Benjolin circuit. Built around interacting analog VCOs, XOR logic and famous Rungler shift register, this box excels at generating unpredictable, evolving patterns, chaotic cross-modulation and unique rhythmic textures. Bien Jolie! brings beautifully unstable spirit of Benjolin into highly tactile, semi-modular desktop format. This performance is captured entirely live and unedited, showcasing spontaneous interaction between internal normalized path and custom patch routings. Performance was recorded live. Lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools.
