I had a few different ideas I could've worked with this week. I went with another two-chord vamp. But it's a cool jazzy-feeling vamp.

Mostly I was setting up and rearranging my gear yet again, and I put my Yamaha DX27 into a place where it was accessible again (feeling that FM buzz from the OG Digitone I got recently). I had previously made an electric piano voice on the DX that I liked, it's a little noisy but has character. It feels good to improvise with it. So this is mostly centered around a partially improvised FM electric piano bit as a result.

Bass is the Digitone - I like the part but truth be told, I'm finding the DN a bit limiting (particularly in terms of polyphony), so I'm debating returning it. I *may* have already gotten an expensive replacement *whistles innocently and extremely poorly*. Tell no one.

Drums are mostly Digitakt II, some Pulsar 23. Blips are Prophet 6. I like the blips.

Nachtjäger is night hunter, which felt somewhat fitting for the Berlin School layered, dark, ambient mood I was feeling this week.

It's too hot. The sound waves struggle to propagate properly. But still, the brothers leveled up and now there's new gear on the kit.

They were ready to communicate with other beings, known for their great cooling power, and while doing so, the brothers realized there was a missing beat.

The time window was closing fast but the beat finally showed up. It came from nowhere and, surprisingly, had the same BPM.

It was time to glue everything together and wait for the best...

This song is what happens when you combine all Ace Combat songs and distill it into a genre and then make it into chip metal combined with an identity disorder blasting full force.

It's telling a story, I'm not sure what it is, but it ends pretty definitively. I'm sure it can be longer, but it's got the horns that make it Ace Combat. The F-22 Raptor fighter jet is featured heavily in the games (11 of them, and most recurring on covers), so I'm using that for the title. And if there's gonna be a follow-up, good news, there's also the F-22C Raptor II in the games; or any of the other ones, like the Falcon (also 11), or the Typhoon (13).

Raptor out.

Still a bit of a creative paralysis this week, maybe an aftermath of last week, but anyway, here we do music every week whatever happens !!

So here I am, making somewhat of an electro drumkit with the help of the RANDOM Metal VST, to end up on a kinda lofi-hip hop vibe I guess ? But in a less convincing way that the one of week 25 ! Consistency is hard !!

Cheers everybody !!
