20. out of nowhere

Still on duty. Tomorrow I change bases and will be driving some hours. It will be a long day.

Mostly done on earbuds, just half finished on proper headphones.

Just 1 instance of a monophonic Cardinal modular synths and 2 FX sends (delay and reverb) sending feedback to each other.

I tried to do something interesting with the echoes, so I applied some pitch shifting using native Apple plugins to produce a somewhat ghostly perfect fifth.

Hope it does not sound too messy.

Now I must sleep.

Please take care and have a happy week :)

### Lore

You walk deeper into the cave. Water drips from the ceiling into an unseen puddle, that distinctively wet sound echoing throughout the space in a constant rhythm. You can't quite tell the difference between the sounds of new drops and their echoes.

Scrunched up in a corner, you see a mass that catches your eye. It's breathing. You approach it and discover it's actually a person all curled up into a ball. You touch their shoulder trying your best not to startle them. They raise their head. Your eyes lock and you feel a deep sense of connection. It's strange even to put it this way, but this somehow strikes you as a moment of impossibly deep introspection. The two of you stay put like this for a while. A long while. Maybe minutes. Hours? Possibly. Eventually you extend your hand, a kind gesture offering help. You both stand up, but don't let go of each other's hands. It's obvious what has to happen next: you simply must dance.

### Production details

Hey music friends! I hope your week hasn't  been a very stressful one.

This week I finally was able to get to get started on my Weekly Beats tune a few days early. On Friday evening, I was practicing before my upcoming piano lesson on Saturday morning, and as usually the case, I keps weaving between what I had to practice and some fun noodling. While doing that back & forth, I found a little kernel of something pretty and thought "Oooohhh, I'm going to try and make this something bigger". So I played it on the keyboard a few more times to flesh out the little pattern and that's what ultimately ended up being the arpeggio pattern that serves as the backbone of this song.

I had a bit of a hard time keeping things simple, but still interesting, but I think I was able to ultimately find a good balance. I also wanted the voices to be simple, but the higher pitched triangle synth that comes in with the more complicated melody was hard to hear, so I added some things to make it a little bit more distinct, like an AHD envelope on MULT set to a super small amount as well as a lowpass filter to spare the listener from its more grating sharpness.

After finishing the song, I fiddled around with the global groove settings just to have some fun and I noticed that I REEEEALLY liked how the song felt after adding some swing to it and bumping the BPM up a tiny bit. The original song felt more quiet and introspective, while the second version sounded groovy and more playful. So I just decided to stick both versions in this same submission. We first hear the slower introspective version without swing, and then, at 2:08, we hear the faster more playful swingy version.

Anyways, I'm really happy with how this one turned out! Looking forward to what y'all will put out this week!!!

Cheers, folks!

This started out as a breaks track and then turned into a techno prog house track reminiscent of Underworld circa Dubnobass era.

It started like any given Tuesday. I pick up some cutlery and play a little beat on the cutting board and a pair of stray drinking glasses. The feline roommates hear the kitchen party and come running for dinner. We exchange friendly banter. Then, what's this? From the depths of the fridge, a disco funk band appears! Potato bassist, carrot guitars and heirloom tomato drums. Tuesday dinner party!

Dedicated to Gimli the cat, the loud one here. He is old and ailing a little, but still enjoys our dinner time chats.
