I can't believe I missed submitting last week... I was already to go, then got distracted and then missed the deadline by 5 mins. So I worked a bit more on it and also moved on to this week's 'The Cognitide' as the next movement. Stay tuned for next week (hopefully) for the resolutions of The Cognitide.

On Monday I made a totally different song using arpeggios and drums and I was trying really hard to make it both mechanically sound and enjoyable to listen to. Halfway through putting it together, I decided to stop and procrastinated until Friday, because my heart just wasn't in it. I'm not interested in mechanically sound music, I'm interested in weird music that feels deeply human.

So I made a 20 minute jam using the MicroKorg, pedals, Volca Drum, Stylophone CPM-DS2, and Sonicware Liven Ambient 0 that I've been using for the past few songs. I set the Volca Drum to play a single beat once every few seconds, and ran it through the delay pedal on the DS2. I then used an oscillator on the DS2 to play a steady bass beat that I panned from left to right in post. I played a little ditty with the MicroKorg through the effects pedals, and played another one with the Ambient 0, and in post I overlayed them and used keyframes to help them play off eachother.

For the visuals, I combined two internal video feedback loops on my Roland Edirol V-8, and ran one loop through my DPS-220 Time Base Corrector that has brightness, color, and hue controls, and the other feedback loop through my new Videonics Video Equalizer. It has some issues with some of the functionality, but I found that I can still use it to affect colors, sharpness, and brightness with the feedback loops, and I honestly kinda love it. Messing around with it this week is a large reason why I procrastinated that other song. Also like, cleaning out my old house, finishing the move, and setting up my new office (and just about nothing else in the house yet) really distracted me too.

Anyway, I edited a few different portions of an extended visual experimentation session together into a little music visualiser, and I'm honestly pretty happy with the results. Hope you like it too!

Taken a demo and spruced it up this week. This is a song I am quite proud of. Channeling my inner Phoebe Bridgers with some big ambient guitar tones. Vocals are a little rougher than usual - I wanted to avoid loads of editing on them as I didn't think it fit the vibe of the track - let me know what you think!

Trying out the Safari Plugins - I quite like them, and will continue to explore!

Guitars are in standard tuning - 2nd week in a row for a while!

Let me know what you think!

Lyrics:

The neon hums like it knows all my secrets


Your jacket still smells like November rain


I watched your shadow blur in the rearview


You took your mixtape,

but left me the pain

I tell myself I’m just dramatic


But your name still breaks the static

So I’m talking to ghosts

in the parking lot


Where we kissed and forgot what we were


You said love was a kind of fever


I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"


I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"


The coffee's cold, I drink it anyway


Stained napkins with half-written poems


You wrote “forever” on my wrist in sharpie


But it washed off in the rain on the way home

I dream in grayscale memories


You fade like old movie screens

So I’m talking to ghosts

in the parking lot


Where we kissed and forgot what we were


You said love was a kind of fever


I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"


I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"


The silence is loud

where you used to laugh


I count headlights like

stars on a map


You’re somewhere warm,

I’m stuck in the Past

SO I’m talking to ghosts

in the parking lot


Where we kissed and forgot what we were


You said love was a kind of fever


I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"


I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"

Another week where I came in with no idea whatsoever what I was going to do.  I started noodling around with a couple synth lines and then everything else seemed to just kind of flow out pretty quickly from there.

Blasting away in my silver ship

Setting sail setting sail setting sail setting sail

Saturn's rings forming an ouroboros

The snake eats its tail eats its tail eats its tail

Plotting a course to the farthest star

I can see I can see I can see I can see

Drawn to your long distant beacon light

Calls to me calls to me calls to me calls to me

There is eventually probably going to be trumpet on here from a friend. I suppose the title is misleading... But I had way too much fun playing with some new gear to wait to release it. Enjoying my time here with you all. Glad I'm still rolling on! Cheers, and thanks for listening.

Electroplankton is a game for the nintendo DS

Combined 3 of the different features (lumiloops - the back ground, Sun animicucle for the melody, and luminaria for the opening) and mixed it all in audicity. I did also record a beat too, but it started to get too messy. This one really pops as it goes along.

This was/is a busy week. I can't complain, I made too many plans, not enough time. Ended up canceling my Friday plan (it was by myself, so no one to disappoint and did pick up a Saturday plan to see my niece's dance recietal) to make this guy because nothing would be made. Don't feel bad for me, I needed a me day that doesn't involve driving.

It get progressively harder, and then you reach the top, and everything is good

I opted for chip drums this week for no real reason, some nice piano bookends, and some actual lead guitar for once

Simple, but effective

Phew, I had a rough week. Lots of personal stuff to deal with. I didn't have a lot of time but I did manage to do a little DSI Tetra jam and hastily arrange it with some Tekno drums. I also managed to get out on my bike for a bit of exercise, which was nice. I hope things settle down in the coming weeks, but if not, it'll turn out okay. Life goes on.
