This is part of Disquiet Junto Project 0775: Off the Clock. A small sketch in a few rounds of 15-minute sessions.

15 minutes spent getting the TX81Z editor to work again with my TQ5 in Ableton Live.

15 minutes spent building the TQ5 patch.

15 minutes composing the piece.

15 minutes recording a passable pass with aftertouch.

15 minutes setting up the guitar.

15 minutes recording the guitar and deciding I want the other guitar.

15 minutes recording the Revstar.

15 minutes fiddling with levels and reverbs and delays.

15 more minutes adding choir and bass to level the spectral field.

96 BPM 3/4, C-major. Yamaha TQ5 lead, choir, bass. Yamaha Revstar rhythm guitar. Composed, recorded, and produced in Vancouver BC. No AI used in any part of the process. For this year every cover art is a photo I took.

I was going for The Church circa Starfish, or maybe Roxy Music circa Avalon. I think I wound up somewhere else but I like it.

More M8 space sounds, all synths. I just wanted to do something with a bassy drone, and ended up having to tone down the bass quite a bit. It made my car speakers buzz, which has never happened. Very simple overall - the initial track was sketched in in 56 minutes, with extra tweaking, fiddling, and flourishes pushing me toward 3 hours. I was honestly worried I'd have to skip this week.

A few of these instruments are randomized. The main lead has a lot of error and randomisation added, the arps and FM static always sound different when triggered, etc. It's just more fun that way.

Had a flight this week, and happened to record a bit of the safety announcements, and damn, that makes for some good samples!

Part of my trip intention had been to write a song on my 3DS via the Korg DSN-12 software, but I found arrangement clunky and half-abandoned it. I did base my drums on what I did there, though, and some structural things, so not a total abandonment.

Mostly Digitakt drums, Pulsar 23 bass, Alpha Juno doing blips and Prophet doing pads. Some additional noises and the voice samples via Tonverk. The pads aren't quite right but maybe that's for further development later. I think the mix is a bit off, too, but again, maybe for later development - I tried some sidechaining in my mixdown, which I'm not used to doing. I think it helped a bit but I still need practice.
