So I'm back on the one plugin benders again. This time, it was the Iona plugin on the MPC One. I'm only trialling it to see if I like it. Not sure this is how its intended to be used but I like it.

this one came together nicely and was really fun to make. while recording i was on a roll with the first take of vocals and hadn't even built the music for the titular 'go home' part but i felt it in the lyrics and i sang it out into the void and built the rest of the song after. it was a cool moment of understanding where the song was going next right before it got there in real time.

ANYWAY.

lots of love

Okay, so I finally gave in and got me some vocals off of Vocalfy. I'm happy with the end result and it was a fun experience, but it somehow feels like less of an accomplishment because of how much the vocals drive this beat?

Dunno. I really enjoyed the process and that's worth something, I guess. And the end result is a bop. I think.

Digging through some sequences I made on the Oxi One for a gig a year ago. Didn't actually end up using them so I decided to record them and potentially put together an EP or something.

This one is a remake of part of a track on my album palaqara.

At first I went a little crazy with arpeggios and layers, that went out of control, so I spent most time removing stuff that was causing a mess. It was fun cause it was a change of process, it felt less like "painting" and more like sculpting

A one take performance using a custom instrument I built in Falcon with some more custom erhu samples I recorded from the talented Felix Wang.

The instrument is keysplit into two parts.  One for the high microsounds with only minimal processing and one for the low percussive hits which contains heavier tone shaping and reverb.  I also played the high sounds down much lower later in the piece to create a pseudo beat.  Things morph and change the more I hold the keys down due to the original sample used.  All performed on the Oxi One which has turned out to be a great little midi controller too.

Hey WB! Long time, no see!

It has been a while, but I'm counting this one as my May submission so it's still hitting my one song per month goal! Woohoo!

This song is about depression! Woohoo!

My depression tends to take the form of demons in my head telling me that everything I do is trash and I'm a bad and worthless person. They've grown a lot quieter as I've gotten older (and wiser?) but every once in a while they get really fucking loud and it sucks.

Hope y'all are hanging in there! Don't let the demons win!

› lyrics‹ lyricsEvery time I lay my head down there are demons in my dreams

They keep telling me I'm no good and nobody will love me

Now I'm thinking that they've got a point and that I'm unworthy

Of ever knowing love or ever knowing what it feels like to be free

I'm wracked with self doubt and it never lets me out from its crushing grip

My sense of self worth drags on the cold ground held on by a string

Now those demons whisper I'm a burden, and I'm a waste of space

And all those people who claim to love me are lying to my face

Am I a bad person?

Am I a bad person?

Am I a bad person?

Am I a bad person?

They say it's not so bad

What's making you so sad

Some have it so much worse

They say it's not so bad

What's making you so sad

Some have it so much worse

And I've been thinking ‘bout

All the ways I hate myself

It makes it so much worse

And I've been thinking ‘bout

All the ways I'd hurt myself

And maybe end this curse

Am I a bad person?

Am I a bad person?

Am I a bad person?

Am I a bad person?

They say it's not so bad

What's making you so sad

Some have it so much worse
