A. G. Cook

In the Arte TRACKS Interview with A. G., SOPHIE, Danny L Harle, and Caroline Polachek, A. G. Can be seen using the Nord Rack 2 by Clavia.

Also A. G. has released a 7G Deluxe Box Set during the release of his album 7G. Inside the digital box set is a file called "Data II.txt" within the "_README" folder. The text file explains why he got the Nord Rack:

When I say Nord I'm referring to the Nord rack 2 tho I did have ambitions of tracking down a Nord Modular (ideally G2)... it's funny I first saw a version of the Nord in Sophie's old studio (back when I was terrible at making synth sounds from scratch and was just a MIDI head) and I remember being able to generate some literal noise from it but it didn't really connect with me. I think she had it there as a kind of Autechre tribute but anyway it was many years later when I came across the Nord rack 2 in a studio in Berlin working on Jónsi's album... I think what I like about the Nord sound in general... is the exact way they've tackled 'virtual analog'. Not only is it built on a 'paradox' (virtual? analog?) or whatever but it really does sound ambiguous, the way it morphs or distorts doesn't feel like a DAW plug-in but similarly you wouldn't really hear it as analogue.

In the PC Music Arte TRACKS Interview, A. G. Can be seen using Apples Logic Pro X.

A. G. Cook uses the Reveal Sound Spire synth plugin, as heard throughout the track "IDL" by Life Sim.

This means that he's using the volca sample from Korg. The 2 knobs on the left are analog isolators & the 3 smaller are swing, reverb, and volume knobs.
