This track is all one take, and what I mean by that is I recorded the MIDI of an improvised piano part and then ran that out to a couple of synths after first passing the note info through some MIDI modifiers in Ableton. I
I ended up having a busy day which means this video is just one camera angle, no overdubs, and the same four chords. I think this track would work better about 10% slower and with some sort of B section, but I had no time
This one is pretty out there, y'all. Definitely channeling Terry Riley. The chord oscillator on the Microfreak is a really interesting mod destination, you can get really unexpected results. Paired with the slightly more controlled Dysphonia, it becomes an ever-evolving combo, sort of East meets
Here's a little self contained ambient track made on the Circuit Tracks. I really like the sequencer on the Circuit, it's actually pretty great for this type of slow textural thing. But you know, there are only so many angles you can shoot of a
It was a rainy day here when I put together this tune, first one in a while, so I wrote a rainy day track. I pulled out the Electrix Mo-Fx, a DJ multi effect from the year 2000. It's got delay, tremolo/pan, and phaser that
This video is again inspired by Cuckoo but also by Dallas Ambient Music Nights who hosted a screening of 'Last and First Men' by Johan Johansson along with a performance by Kent Evans - both were excellent. So here I made a moody experimental soundscape
This was another prompt from Cuckoo, this time to use bad gear. I focused on this old reel-to-reel that is barely holding on. I was hoping to do an ambient washy manual tape manipulation, but it's too broken even for that. Still, the built in
This Jamuary post almost didn't happen, I couldn't make anything happen in the studio for most of the day. Finally this beat popped into my head while I was cooking dinner - which also turned out to be quite a struggle!
This one is almost all on the Circuit Tracks. I sort of thought I'd be leaning heavier in the Circuit for Jamuary 2022, it's a really great little sketch pad and idea machine, but I think this I only ended up using it for a
I swear this isn't turning into a modular only blog. I've just been experimenting a lot and found this fun throaty sound using audio rate modulation on the filter frequency to pair with a short arpeggiated sequence from the Microfreak. All sounds live from the
