The covid lockdowns found Philippe reconnecting with his love for electronic music. The time at home prompted a deep dive into modular synthesis. Always interested in new production techniques and using Ableton Live as his primary DAW, the transition into modular synthesis was not that far a jump. Bronchtein has been doing ambient live streams, blending a combination of synthesis, pedal steel, and keyboards.
Bronchtein releases electronic music under the moniker Padelm. His debut album Yellow Blossoms was released in April of 2021.
