### Lore

The lights are all strung up, the finger food is all prepared, and most importantly, the sound system is ready to go. You hope the outfit you picked fits the whole vibe, but since you can't see your own reflection it's a little hard to judge. All that's left now is to wait. Will the skeletons, ghouls, ghosts and werewolves really come?

### Production details

This one was an old project that got dusted off this week. I started something on the Roland Aira J-6 again, but didn't have the chance to actually sit with it and work it out. So instead, I dove in the SD card and found a great little kernel of something that felt kind of spooky, but also super festive. So I kept building on it and got to this! Still think I could have built in more variation and changes, but already super happy of where this ended up.

### Diary and chatter

Howdy, friends! I don't have much to report from this week. Sadly, I have not had time to comment as much as I'd like on other WB tunes... But I'm impressed that I've made it this far in the year! I told myself I'd be a lot more chill and relaxed about keeping the streak 100% intact and that I'd take breaks if needed, but thankfully haven't really felt the need to do so yet. Maybe now that we're at the 50% mark, that'll change, let's see... But still, well done to everyone (streak broken or unbroken alike) for making it this far into the year of this super fun project! I feel like I'm in great company and I look forward to listening to more of your crazy stuff.

Cheers, peeps!

Got mallets on my mind. Sprinkled some DJ FX on top again, might need to rein that in for future tracks.

Many times I'll sit down with the guitar and listen for what music might be available. This time, midweek a riff came to mind, which I recorded quickly, thinking I might forget it otherwise. Along with that came the thought of having a guitar line build to the point that the equipment sounded like it was failing.

In actual recording, I mostly kept to putting the PureSalem Mendiola through the UA Volt with the "vintage" tone circuit on, for earlier distortion, and playing harder to force some clipping, but that wasn't the end goal. The JHS ColourBox has one gain stage running into the other, and if they're turned up, there's a threshold past which the signal clips so much that it cuts out. So I put the Colourbox inline for some of these.

Yes, it sounds like something failed during the recording, and yes, it is deliberate. Why do something wrong like that? I did this out of a sense that there was something to discover by taking a leap into a wrong technique. This isn't subtle, and there was a challenge in making these parts fit together somehow. Ultimately, a gradual progression of clean-to-clipped seemed to make sense. Does it work? Maybe.

Three channels of PureSalem Mendiola (the old version with the two pickups), JHS Colourbox 10 on some parts (you can tell which ones), UA Volt with vintage clipping on, some convolution reverb send, and compression/eq/limiter on the stereo bus.

The title is an association with the city of Pristina, which has an elevation of 652m. And due to the fact that this piece isn't at all pristine.

Literal improv song, had one riff idea at work, then just wrote each next riff while looking at my screen. Had to track each side of the guitars one after the other, because I wouldn't be able to remember what I had played if I moved to the next riff. So a total slam riff salad was the result lol

96bpm, made on the dirtywave m8.

I started this last minute and I’m glad I could get something together in time. I wouldn’t have made most of these tracks if it wasn’t for weekly beats. I appreciate this for existing.

Also my new techno album “Dominion” dropped last week on all streaming platforms.

a lonely atrium calls out for a friend - whispered loops reverberate in choral chambers - feedback amplifies the present moment - delay reminds you of the past.
