Week 32:

The focus was to let ideas flowing and see where it leads.

By doing that, I practice producing music and I let the obvious coming out of my mind and learn from those.

I had a lot of fun working on this one as it's a bit different from what I normally do and has lots of energy into it. :) Hope you’ll like it.

Week 31:

The focus was on letting ideas flow and see where it leads.

I started the project with the bass line then built melodies and drums around it.

I’ve left a couple of days between sessions and then worked on pads, arrangement and other sound effects.

By doing so and leaving space between sessions, I realised that the first idea I had at the beginning had changed and I now had two ideas merged together.

Which make the end result a bit confusing in terms of coherence.

So next time, I’ll make sure that:

- I have an idea before I start;

- and stick to that idea from the beginning till the end of the project.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll like it.

Week 25:

For this week I focused on adding layers and elements. And I also wanted to experiment with the new Roland suite of VST and I choose to dedicate this track to use mainly the classic SH-101.

Lots of automation are happening with the arpeggiator on the SH101: VCF frequency, VCF Resonance, Decay as well as Having different midi patterns for the same instrument going on throughout the track. I’ve got about 4 variations (intro, intro B, build up and the full version). That allows me to have more control on tweaking things (as long as I name the clips properly). As you might hear, the CPU usage is pretty high as well, I believe it to be because of the Roland VST which see to be pretty demanding compared to the Ableton stock instruments. Sorry about that!

Hope you’ll like it.

Week 24:

The focus was to keep focusing on adding layers.

Even if not all the sounds/elements gel together in a harmonic way, I’m getting closer to the goal. There is definitely more life into this track than most I’ve done I find. (I might be a bit too harsh on myself regarding my previous work haha🙈 but you get the point!) :) I think it’s good for me to work on those layers as it pushes me to train my ears and think of the frequency spectrum. Thanks to @luboku for talking about his process and bringing light into a process I was unfamiliar with until now.

Hope you’ll like it.
