100 bpm ambient electro

It was about to dry up - wb streak so to speak. Then it came down pouring like dewdrops. Really felt this was one of my fastest and yet strongest compositions so far this year. I could've tailor the mixdown a LOT more (sounded a bit harsh and rendered audio file looked like a turd) (-10.1 LUFS!).. but as I'll release this on my WB album later this year, should probably take all 11 tracks at least few dB's down - or try to use "from 0 method" and find more sensible mix.

This one fits quite perfectly to my WB 26 inspired album called Lush Electronics.

vst's : Microwave 1, Acid V, Emulator II, Korg MS-20V

hardware (aka drums) : Yamaha RS7000

DAW : Reaper

Started out futzin' around with one of the pre-sliced piano samples on Ableton Move earlier this week.. Worked out most of the segments on there. Sent to live/push to make some edits and add a couple segments. Pretty alright way to spend an overcast morning finishing this one up. I hope you enjoy it

Three different tracks this week, wasn't sure what direction to go. We're getting to the half-way point and it's getting tricky I guess.

This one is all chopped up Splice samples in Ableton with lots and lots of effects. I have no regrets.

Almost halfway there...

More FMS jamming, yeah it's a fun thing to do!

The main feature here is the fact that each track can change patterns independently (unlike the Elektron boxes!), letting you kinda morph between different grooves and combinations. Sometimes it works really well, sometimes there's need for more tweaking. I'm particularly happy with the seamless transition between 4/4 and 3/4 based grooves in a couple of places.

Recorded live to stereo (Audacity) and mildly "mastered" (Ableton). 160 kbps (due to file size restriction) = more digital!

Thanks for listening, peace out. <3

I realised this week I tend to collect projects, I love the idea of things like learning to code, but then something else I want to do comes along and it goes by the wayside. Consequently I get nothing done and beat myself up.

Hopefully though I don't get that way with the music, I certainly hope so.

trying out a trick where I use synth arrangements from old tunes - wipe the composition and do something new with the old sounds

Shoegaze this week, or at least a version of itself :) I need to listen to a lot more of the genre because I'm getting some of the textures but I don't think I'm getting the mood.

I finally found a "recipe" for trash jig.

It's in 7/4, characteristics are 3x quarter note, 4x 8th triplets (thou this might vary).

I know it's pretty audacious to "create a style" within foreign folk tradition, but I did it out from my appreciation for the music and wanted to give it my little spin.
