I Ought To Think I Thought by noimspartacus

I like the phrase “Those that mind don’t matter, those that matter don’t mind”. It’s a mantra that helps me weather attacks of social anxiety. When you say it out loud repeatedly it takes on a call and response rhythm. I recorded myself chanting it and fed it through the resonator setting on a Monsoon with modulation On the harmonics to get a stringy pluck and then overdubbed with another instance to get a more smeared drone. Toward the end I started feeding a lfo into the wav playback , rapid rates created a strummy effect and vocal snippets.

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:

I think this my 7th or 8th time I’ve taken part in the annual junto ice challenge. It is interesting to think how my approach to music making has changed over the years. Back in 2012 I was messing around with loops in Acid and circuit bending old toys. I started to experiment with hardware and software modular environments and gradually used my laptop less and less in favour of an iPad. Currently i’m getting into building my own electronic noisemakers and modding old toys. This year I used the same old recording I made the first time I entered and fed into into a digitakt. Messed around with reverb and resonators and recorded it into my iPad.
