I used @morgulbee and @OHELEM’s track Trio the Second. I really liked the droney hypnotic sound—it reminded me kind of really early Sigur Rós? Like somewhere between the various recordings of “Hafsól” and “Olsen Olsen”? Anyway, I think last week I had some idea of what I was going to do with it and when I sat down this evening I discovered that I had totally forgotten that.
I thought about doing more of a solo over the top of it with Earthsea, but once I had altered my modular patch enough to allow me to play legato I discovered that the timbres I was getting were way less exciting, so I gave up and went back to my usual patch (which was for the best, I think). I had randomly set up the sequence you hear before even really starting to work, so I was surprised to discover the pitch didn’t clash horribly.
Anyway, from there my process was basically identical to last week’s: first record along with the track, twiddling around with the timbre in deliberately kind of wide swathes. Then after recording I went back and played the mixer. This time I recorded automation for the Reverb and Delay send volumes, as well as the track volume, chorus dry/wet and chorus feedback.
Thank you all for letting me press on doing silly modular process-learning things over the top of all of your exciting tracks these three weeks! I think my next task to conquer is going to be taking advantage of Kria more fully (cf. this week’s recording is a six-step sequence
), after which will be fleshing out a proper Teletype script.
