Tried something new! A lot of things!

Also, I could only do a couple of scratch-takes of the vox because I got sick so leaned into more stylization than I have been lately

Cut off

my hand

to stop me

from stealin'

never grow again

I

always

find the answers

beyond the grasp

within

the limits

of my own making

the fear

runs amok

ending

before

I truly

begin

always the same

move

I

always

find the answers

beyond the grasp

within

the limits

of my own making

the fear

runs amok

over

and over

I never

seem to learn

can't learn from

mistakes

never made

I'm my own

worst enemy

painting myself

in the corner

alone

unable to find

a home

I

always

find the answers

beyond the grasp

within

the limits

of my own making

the fear

runs amok

It's getting close to Q4, time to start thinking about your files and paperwork.

Elektron'd, then Ableton'd.

A bit about this process from the last couple of tracks which has been working well for me. Similar to when I was a heavy modular synthesist, I get a patch running (although in this case it's with Elektron instead of a bunch of wires). Record a session working with the patch, then work on it in Ableton in a method I'd compare to cutting up tape instead of true DAW work. I typically start with about 8 minutes of recording and then chop it down to 2. Sometimes I'll add bits and pieces, or layer bits of "tape" to make it more interesting, but I mostly just arrange chunks of the original material. There's a solid chance that I could do all of this in the elektron gear with some deeper use of transitions, which I'm interested in, but this process is working well for me now. Haven't been in the mood to mess with a working thing.

Proto trance. This is a wayback machine straight to 1994. 126,5 bpm, just had some fun with various soft synths and a bunch of old samples this week. Started on Thursday evening, finished Sat afternoon. Would be a b side of my earlier trance track in WB called Recall.

I was supposed to do another collab this week, but unfortunately I had some personal issues that really bogged me down and prevented me from doing such. Thankfully, the WB community is amazing and my collaborator was very understanding and willing to wait for a future opportunity.

I ended up getting about 3 hours on Friday to sit down and focus hard on this one, and it ended up being semi-cathartic. It's not a long track, but I enjoyed using the new hypersynth oscillator shapes.

I hope you all enjoy, and thank you for listening. Let me know what you think down below.

PS: I love you all.

captain inconsistent is back baby!

decided to take another shot at a progressive house/trance. nothing too exciting, but I'm pretty happy with it. as with all electronic nonsense, it's intended for mixing so uh, prepare for a long one. got to have time to get in and out of it and all of that.

I love cinquillo and tresillo rhythms, but normally I'm thinking of that pretty literally... that's what the perc is doing. here I decided to try it with the two lead lines. I think the arp rhythm is particularly interesting compared to what I'd normally get out of hold chord, ask arpeggiator nicely to arp things.
