Pulse Emitter is the synthesizer music of Portland's Daryl Groetsch. Inspired by the cosmos and nature, Pulse Emitter is dedicated to science fantasy escapism. Drifting analog pads and patterns, often in unsynchronized layers that align as planets in a solar system. Long form journeys from noise to new age, and the weird world that exists in between.
Pulse Emitter is the project of Portland, Oregon programming master Daryl Groetsch, and over the years has produced a fantastic variety of modular mayhem both turbulent and soothing, utilizing a bank of home-made synths and electronics. Deep space explorations worthy of Hawkwind, precise, controlled soundbombing akin to the most broken Throbbing Gristle moments and more. -Brian Turner, WFMU
Nice guys finish last, and Daryl Groetsch is a real nice guy. That means he gets no fucking respect. But it also means he’ll be there when everyone else is washed-out and tossed-up. Prolific - but not ridiculously so - Groestch releases a steady stream of unrelentingly-progressive works under his synth moniker Pulse Emitter, wielding a commitment to instrument and aesthetic like a martial artist in the face of so many Ultimate Noise Fighter goons. There is no championship, only survival and self-betterment. -Animal Psi
