Written entirely on Dirtywave M8 Tracker

Light mastering in Audacity (normalizing/limiting/compressing).

A continuation of last week's track's outro, which was the previous week's outro, which was the previous week's outro, which...

Blah blah blah, bad track, good boy, etc.

No idea I'd make some samba that night.

Thanks for listening anyway!

This week, I took care of the Sonicware Texture Lab and added new samples to it (sending them via sysex message is time consuming but worth it). And so I created some new patches on it using those samples. They are bringing a breath of air and also some strings to this week's music.

3 tracks were recorded from the Texture Lab on the cassette and 1 was coming from the Deluge, where I programmed a very standard sound (filtered sawtooth and square with a short decay) on the sequencer. However, this time I added probability to each note and also defined a custom pattern length for each of them (so they each loop at different interval). The result gives generative music and I like to do that, because it reminds me of procedural generation and it always surprises me when I play it.

Eventually I drenched the whole in the Nightsky reverb and the MS70-CDR (this with a more simple setup: a long tape echo and a hall reverb). The result sounds definitely icy and subterranean (also quite dissonant, but it's a part of the vibe), which is why I gave it this title.

Thanks to anyone who left a kind feedback and to anyone who will leave one!

Have a nice week!

Hello everyone,

This week I returned to Arrakis. I had already been there the week before, but it was a much Faster visit, and I didn’t really get the chance to fully experience this incredible planet and its people.

This time, I found myself in the heart of the desert, in more remote regions — places said to be home to Shai-Hulud, and to some of the most fearless Fremen. It was a special experience, where I was shown a ceremonial dance in honor of Shai-Hulud.

From a technical perspective, this was a huge challenge. I chose not to rely on any samples from the movie on the instrumental side, which pushed me to explore my creativity as much as possible. I spent few hours :P working on this track throughout the week,looking to every detail and trying to achieve a sound  that could, humbly, live up to the world of Dune.

Just a small note: this week, Hans Zimmer performed a concert Here in Lisbon — unfortunately, I couldn’t Go. Even so, it may have inspired me even more and fueled the motivation behind what I’m sharing with you today.

Was trying to make acid. Not happy with the structure and transitions and everything, but the deadline looms.

Patch notes:

This week I was experimenting with modern/digital acid sounds, specifically using animated PWM through a resonant filter. Turns out you can self-patch the Schlappi Three Body to make quite nice PWM by phase modulating the square wave output with a triangle or saw from a ratio-synced suboscillator. Now I just needed to modulate the phase modulation amount... with envelopes and LFOs... there was quite a lot of modulation of modulation going on here.

Anyway. In summary:

- Acid Lead: Three Body via Serge VCFQ and the saturating VCA in the Serge Wave Multipliers.

- Bass: Cursus Iteritas Alia through Doepfer SEM lowpass

- Intermission drone: Vhikk X

- The rest: Bohm on kick, WMD drums as hats, ride, and clap. Ectocore for supporting drum loop.

- Desmodus Versio and Oxi Meta on end of chain FX duty.

- The white noise riser is a white noise through resonant highpass and delay, both animated from the Neuzeit Drop

- Sequencer from Metron and Oxi One Mk2, remote-controlled from Neuzeit Drop.

Taking a break from Renoise for the week and back on the M8!

I started this one specifically focusing on sound design. I wanted as many different timbres in the song as I could muster, I didn't end up making that many things but I did hit on this really nice percussive string sound by cranking up the amp and setting the limiter to fold. Also made a couple nice pads, love scanning through the wave tables of the WAV synth :)

I don't know, feels like a worse version of something i've made before. In a bit of a rut in this. But happy to upload something... one of these days i will be struck by ambition... hopefully...

I only had two hours and a short loop I made the day before.

So I just... went with the flow. How I managed to make it 9 minutes long... beats me XD

Its far from what I'd like the track to be, but looking at how fast I had to create this track, Its aaight.

I also managed to use all of the Freakshow VST's, and they are.. so weird yet so cool.

Hope you are all healthy and doing okay! *sending good vibes*
