The Ritual

The Ritual is an experimental sound instrument controlled by a real candle flame. Light from the flame is detected by three sensors, turning every flicker into modulation, rhythm, and tone.

The result is an organic and unpredictable sound source that blends physical light with electronic sound.

Sound

• Two sound voices:

  • Crackling texture similar to burning wood

  • Deep sub-bass tone

• Two audio outputs for separate signals

Control

• Three light sensors that read the candle flame

• Flame movement controls rhythm and modulation

• Three control knobs for shaping the sound

• CV input for external modulation

Connectivity

• Works as standalone instrument

• Compatible with Eurorack and pedal setups

• Built in Bricky format

The Ritual turns a simple flame into a living sound controller, creating evolving textures shaped by light, air, and movement.
