Maybe this much.

Or maybe not!

I am happy with some elements of this track, not that much on other but this will do.

Take care all.

The stress of the cold from a leaky roof is getting to me; hopefully it can be resolved soon. Anyway, here is another weekly beat

Another track created nearly all with erhu recordings modified into custom Falcon patches.  The main one that isn't is the voice part that comes and goes and there's a bit of synth in the bass sound.

All composed, mixed and mastered within Ableton.

Back to using the M8 this week, finishing off a song that I tried to do and was not working at all for a while (hence why the FMS Jams were so nice to do).

Got to the point where I have listened to it too many times in to short a time period. Here it is.

Enjoy.

Repaired miyoo mini failure for AL. OS needed to be re-installed. Spent majority of the week working on sound design and horror music demos for indie video game project. Still talking. Hoping to share pitch on Monday. Editing together over game footage. Having a lot of fun. Knocked out 3 songs and about half of the sounds I'd like to get done. Feels good enough for the pitch and very much was a fun challenge to shake up music process. Thinking about work for the summer while waiting for school year to start. New local farmers market. Picked up an abundance of fruit for cheap.

Went to local art studio collective w/ AL. Made some Acid Dummy riso prints and she made her own poster for her boothing and art projects. Read some zines and literature on cycling, anarchism, and W. E. B. Du Bois in their library. Ran into a fellow local performer printing summer camp posters. Chatted about the change in music scene post pandemic and about mutual friends. Chiptune and punk scenes comparison. Old punks realizing there is "life after 30", was a fun one. Also who imagined living past it and what to do when you do. After, went to a couple of fabric stores and grabbed lunch at an out of town market. Prepping for B-day. Have a plan just need to send out invites. Mind too focused on game project to do anything else. Passed on tracks for new netlabel w/ LT. Sitting on a couple of tracks before submitting to the other. Thinking about old personal design project and website.

Patterns made at the beginning of the week. Been busy making other things for potential work. Decided to quickly jam out parts early sunday morning. Combined parts used while exploring new updates and trying to figure out a comfortable workflow. I am strong at writing and producing but not improvising so working with out a song mode is outside my typical wheelhouse. Very different from the planning I normally put into live sets and production. Both freeing and frustrating. Wish I had invested more time into playing more instead of just production. All things considered, I think it came out fine. Happy with it as a one take session. Direct Stereo recording into the DR-40 and just a bit of background sound clean up from the noisy gameboy output. Short on time w/ current projects.

A simple one this week, because I again had little time. Doing a lot of work on our garden right now and work is basically always demanding. Last Friday I suffered through heart palpitations while lecturing. I have them sometimes and they are harmless as far as we know, but I take them as a sign that I am maybe trying to do too much at the same time.

Fortunately there were two of us and my colleague (and friend) did most of the work.

More or less same approach as in last weeks: Midi from Tidal Cycles piped into Ableton that I use as a glorified VST host and for a bit of (amateuristic) mastering. Normally I spend more times creating elements. This time I had to stick to the few elements I managed to create in the fragmented time that I had.

This started with my trying to create some strings in Zebra 3, using modal synthesis. For this track I decided to also slap a tape emulator onto it.

I personally really like the brass-like lead that I made with the Arturia Juno 6 emulation. There is something about that filter LFO that gives it a delay-like feel.

I will probably want to build this out into something more substantial in the future. Maybe also add some variation in terms of chord progression.

And: It needs to be said every now and then. This community is great. Much love to all of you! I am sorry that I am not able to listen and comment more these weeks.
