yes, this could be. Though we listen much more to Zappa, Patton, Magma
than Stockhausen!! And never Dream Theater, oh non !!!

It's an Alsa Modular Synth patch (in attachment), there are several
presets depending on the instant you're listening to, but basically,
there 4 oscillators (one or more being a bit detune), a VCF whos FM
Expression is linked to an envelop, and it's monophonic.
It's a derivation of the bass.ams which is in the demos.
