It is wonderful. Here he is playing the theme in a bar before he passed away:

A duet with Bach. I started with hymn-like choral progression, added a hip hop beat, and then quoted from Bach’s chorale Aus Meines Herz.

Andreas likes software, ambient pads and (mostly) avoids repetition – and he has recently tried out “Quadrivium” by Giorgio Sancristoforo. Saerdna likes hardware, beats and repetition and tries to do rhythms with noises recorded out of the “Soma Ether” by Vlad Kreimer.

I found 2 unused sample recordings by these guys and helped them to put them together (admittedly: overhasty) for the “Remainder Duet”. (Irrelevant fun fact: The loop in Reaper runs with a bpm of 100.695…)

My “friend” Johnny Ennui is tired of my nonsense… he thrives on conflict and rejection. A great studio hang.

Car is dependable, always starts and keeps a steady rhythm and a somewhat okay pitch. It helps out when things goes wrong. There was a thought out plan and it didn’t work out and it was raining. So that’s what we recorded. The track is a mash of stacked recordings: one is me driving to the recording location. Another is me sitting in Car waiting for it to stop raining (it didn’t) and then fiddling with the heating knobs and going through random radio stations and a podcast. I managed to get some door, engine and ignition details thats also in there.

All recordings was sent through modulating comb filters, delays and Eventides Blackhole and it came out all right. Thank you Car.

Hey All, NON_SUBMISSION Did a little something with RajaTheResidentAlien’s excellent tracks. This is made for subwoofers. If you want to hear an attempt at BOC but not really- check it out. Happy Holidays!

Peace, Hugh

This junto is by the way also of some literary quality … I enjoyed the storys as much as the songs!

@Pineyb Johhny sounds like a nice bloke :smile: Great track really dig the guitar or is it a synth?

@krakenkraft Have no idea how you create those croaking sounds, it sounds freaking cool. I also really like that shimmery drone. Cool track!

Good track :slight_smile: , can I ask what is the toy doing on board the contact mic ? I have a wind up toy that walks and it creates a cool sound on a contact mic partly because it vibrates as it unwinds. Just wondering what the mechanism of yours is ?

@undermulden The Croaking sounds are multiple instances of a recording out of the soma labs ether device, and I think these are unwanted noises, but I like them anyway. Some instances were bent via Filterstep VST.

I made you a Wetransfer link (that may stay for 14 days or so)

Thank you, I must say that is very kind of you. I’ll check it :blush:
I have a regular “phonetap” and a Lom Elektrousi, but I have mostly only gotten the same clicks and buzzing with them. I checked the Ether out and it sounds somewhat more advanced in what it can pick up. I might have to try a different approach for capturing EM emissions.

It’s just a spring. It’s more a decorative artifact of the late 70s (my guess) than a toy. The spring makes the head wiggle. Not very fun. But if you attach a contact mic it is :grin:

I have to admit: you don’t need the soma ether to get some clicks and noises, it was clearly a case of g.a.s. …

Haha , now I understand, a family member has one. It’s a dog with a spring for a neck which wobbles the head. In the head is a hole for a pen, it’s also from the seventies. Cool :laughing:

Ok, I can relate. Guess I have to find more ways to make mistakes and discover more unwanted sounds :slight_smile:

Fun idea with the toy, which I believe is called the “Hoptimist”. Also liked the spoken sentences. Fun track :smile:
