# Sketch I, Spiraling Arpeggios This is the first video for my new YouTube channel. The first few videos will be walking through building a musical sketch. The first sketch I made in VCV Rack, a virtual modular synth environment for creating music. By carefully sequencing three voices, I create some serene but compelling ambient music with a little bit of a rhythm. After laying down some fundamentals, the beginning of the "spiraling melodies" section starts around 7:50, and it culminates a bit after 9:30. ![Sketch #1: Spiraling Arpeggios](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRx_tAVIEZo) Find a variation of the patch which only uses free modules, limited to just modules from VCV, Bogaudio, and Impromptu, [here](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/sobdjng80obr7mwt97fw9/Spiraling-Arpeggios-II.vcv?rlkey=p04jqjq23mr92kqrp5nncyfge&dl=0).
