Produced entirely on the Dirtywave M8 tracker.

Trying to work on making some fun chords and whatnot with FM synthesis these days, and this is what came about.

Let me know what you think down below! I'm always happy to get any comments, whether or not it's just love or it's constructive criticism.

Check me out elsewhere at 0x_colt if you like what you hear.

Cheers!

A little Mountain Goats worship, a lead bass, trumpet samples, what more do you need?

› Lyrics‹ LyricsLake soaked in morning fog

Sweating like a hog

Wish the kids would quit asking

For all the crap they see in catalogs

White lightning distilled

Three hours til my shift at the mill

Pressed suits from Chicago

Hear them laughing down the hill

Hail Mary, full of Grace

I'm on the wrong side of thirty today

Row them out to the stash

Firm handshake, smiles and flash,

God bless the boys from Chicago:

they pay cash

Steal home from the morning run

Back against the rising sun

Buy the kids a little red wagon

when my shift is done

Hail Mary, Hail all mothers, full of Grace

May thirty be a sweet memory one day

This song is a fictionalization of my great-grandfather, who supposedly ran moonshine (aka white lightning) during Prohibition in the US.

Drums are all M8 synths, electric bass was recorded live, the trumpet is from the "360 from Mars" Samples from Mars library (sequenced on M8), and the noise transitions are a reversed recorded of a distorted electric guitar

Failed to get the lyrics together in time this week. Cooked up some good stuff but guess starting them mid-day sunday is really not enough time...

Really really struggled with this one. Ran out of time. Bon Appetit.

First track on the Ableton Move. Wanted to spend longer on it but I may have forgotten to work on it this weekend :D

Just a couple of patterns, did the final arrangement and some light dsp work in live (transferring to live from move is very easy! nice!)

Loading... [ACT II]

A little break. Food. Hydration. The inventory management pain. Cables and adaptors mainly. For the campfire and the foraging, the zKnightBros put up some "loading next act" music bits.

Bom Apetite!! ;) Have a nice meal!!

Gear:

Volca Sample -> 1 zbro

KO II  -> other zbro

Put together on online BandLab -> both zbros.

Struggling to get it to work. :) It's done now. We think.

Have a nice week. Cheers!

Pulled this one together while on holiday, M8 with some guitar and n64 samples. Tristan Baldi´s forest samples on drums. Tried out laamaa's trick of individually triggering FMsynth operators as notes in a chord.

Started out uninspired, wanted to do something short and different from my usual style, and I guess that's indeed what I got.

It's loud (in fact, it's clipping throughout and I'm okay with that) and weird and kinda keeps you guessing. The ending was more of an accident than planned, but I really like how it turned out.

Enjoy!

Week 12 and once again I left it until the last minute to make a track. I'm not sure why that is this year, but it's a recurring theme for me. Anyway, don't let the intro fool you. This is a simple acid techno track. Because, realistically, that's all that time permitted. I'm sure the mix could be better, as this was done on the fly. But I like the raw, punchy energy of it. Or at least right now I do.

Any and all feedback is welcome! And if you comment I'll comment back for sure.
