we trudged to the island

carried along by thick light

there were no fires, no primates, no pigs

flickers and seagulls shunning in the breeze

the willow beckoned, fat and smiling

lean into me

my bugs are a feature

lean into me

your breath is the future

lean in

till my holding you

(lean in)

is holding me

(lean in)

is holding us

my bark arms are knocking on your skin

lean into me

you see it, right?

you're getting this?

lean in

lean in

lean in

(lean in)

Started off sampling a famous Brazilian artist in spotify (way back tip from my brother who is balls deep into that continent ;)) , cutting up & arranging the samples in Renoise to something juky. Though it is in a relatively low bpm it is still bouncy to fit the description imo.

This track had a fun genesis... I set out to make something rough and dirty with fucked-up, mangled and pitch-shifted hard beats and breakbeats... and at first, it was going alright. And then I added some nice harmonic pads. And then this bass progression. And then I realized that the drums really don't fit into it anymore - so I removed them. Funny how these things go sometimes!

After listening back to the final take, I realized it was missing a bit of movement, so I pulled out the Osmose and recorded a little improv over it. I should do that more often... it's pretty fun to have the modular system as a giant, dynamic backing track to improvise over!

Anyway, I like how this one turned out. People always say, don't try to do polyphony in modular, to which I say: But I wanna!

Patch Notes:

Voices:

- Schlappi Three Body filtered by Xaoc Zagrzeb as the little melody loop

- Sdkc Helical through the Olivella Modular Imagènes did the chord pads, via Strymon Starlab for lush shimmer reverb

- Vhikk X as the bass voice

- Osmose raw for additional melody duty.

Reverb and delay added in Ableton.

this one goes out to all the heroes who fought bravely in the loudness war o7

continuing my journey of experimenting with LSDJ and guitar pedals i wrote this track with distortion in mind, mimicking shoegaze glide guitars, feedback swells and using that cool phasing thing that happens when you have the 2 pulse channels play the same thing. i recorded it by putting my analog pocket running lsdj through a EAE greathammer pedal into ableton and adding a touch of compression and EQ. i know it's loud. felt like the right thing to do. ok love u bye 🧡
