I got hit by another car while driving this past Wednesday, which was, needless to say, one of the most surreal things that has ever happened to me (having never been in a car accident before). Luckily everyone involved was ok, as it wasn't a major accident. But it made me think even more about how the only thing that really matters in this life is that you have it, that you can live it, and that you're able to. I sat down to make a song today not really knowing what I wanted, and ended up with a Underworld-esque nine minute techno banger. It's got some random human error in it, and in this age of perfection, AI, and all this other bullshit -- the things that are making up modern life right now -- I think that shit actually matters.

Anyway, thanks as always for listening.

Alternative Title: You Crunched Those Numbers, Finish What's In Your Mouth

The conceptual hook for this one is that each instrument uses 16 phrases of different length (Phrase 1 = 1 16th note, Phrase 2 = 2 16th notes, etc). This adds up to eight and a half bars of 4/4 (or two groups of 4 + 4 + 4 + 5). I scramble the phrases throughout the song. Does the song rise above the conceptual wankery? You decide!

Strange week for me; actually wrote a lot of music so ran out of gas a little for weekly beats. Did a back to basics approach with OPL1 (sine only 2-OP FM, 9 channels) and just starting vamping on some deep house and then decided to do some silly metric modulation to a swing sort of thing with weirder jazz chords. Hence the silly title of this track.

Was traveling again this week but didn't get to grab any samples ._. had a ton of fun with friends though and was able to mess around with wavesynth in the airport and on the plane! (mostly just that intro eerie sounding bit which shows up again midway)

Had about 4 sketches this week. I decided to submit the one that was most different for me. We’ve been doing lots of chaos. I am interested in the minimal rhythmic side of using these sounds as well. I had been wanting to use this ipad orchestra library again.

This was written in about 2 hours up until 20 minutes before the deadline.

Something about 5 or "five"?

Or was it Se7en, or something?

It's another long one this week, because why should I make a song less than 6 minutes? And a noisy one, as it was clearly necessary.

Heavily inspired by a couple new acquisitions from Fairfield Circuitry, 20% More (a very nonsensical fuzz) and Conflict of Interest (envelope CV control that I was plugging into the 20% More). Both Pulsar 23 and Bass VI got run through that combo, and maybe it was too much, but probably also necessary.

Pads from Prophet 6, some more little bits and sequencing from Digitakt, and some more Bass VI that isn't 20% More.

I think this is one that I will look at in a couple weeks and either think "eh, a bit uninspired" or be very satisfied with. I am not sure which yet.

Further spring cleaning of unfinished m8 projects.

This I started about a year ago.. maybe my 4th or 5th attempt at doing a track on the m8.

Initially I started this one with the intend to incorporate my diy samples, and to learn commands / automation.

I hated the resulting track but liked the timbres and basic groove, so this week I decided to salvage it.

Took the existing track as a template and changed all the voicing / chords / scale, then added a lot of new automation and tricks I learned since getting more accustomed with the device.

I recorded the m8 through some outboard stuff instead of rendering, and due to the automation at the end of the track, when it it looped back to the start again; it was completely mangled. I thought that was pretty neat so I let it roll, and lo and behold, at some point things got even weirder. I feel like I couldn't have hit pause at a better time, so I'm real proud about that. Some happy mistakes resulting in two noise sections to wrap things up! lolz

I kinda like it now, and I'm happy to be done with it
