Doesn’t the icon in the player work?

The button doesn’t seem to be doing anything when I click on it. I’ve tried in Chrome and Firefox.

Hey Junto,
Lonely 80’s Boy got off work from the book warehouse where he had worked all summer. He had lost 30 lbs that summer as it was 120 degrees in the warehouse where he filled orders of text books for school systems and also as he was in love with a girl that lived 300 miles away at the college that they both attended and was not able to eat very much because of a deep yearning to be with her.He was able to change into the pants, which he was amazed could fit him now, that his French foreign exchange student had given him in exchange for his high school letter jacket. He put on a suitably fashionable shirt because he was to meet his beloved that night after a month apart and she was from a rich family and was into clothes and fancy drinks that had kiwi in them. When he met her she was locked out of her house and was not happy. What first struck him was a smell he scented on her.He couldn’t put his finger on it but in his animal brain alarms went off. He kept pressing her in a passive aggressive manner to get her to tell him what was wrong. She did not want to tell him as she knew it would crush him. She was several years older than him and had lived in a big city with a real job with her own apartment before returning to return to the large state school that they both attended now. She had dated a boy from Beverly Hills the summer before and he had broken her heart too after they had driven across America together so she had decided to become an interior designer. The boy was usually semi erect when he saw her but now nothing, just a building fear. She told him she had had sex the night before with a finance major she would end up marrying in a year and divorcing six month later after becoming disillusioned with his scientology and the ecstasy pills they would take and go dancing in night clubs on. Of course lonely boy cried but still managed to ask if she loved the new boy. He had to take a drive alone into the night through country towns he had never been to before. He smoked cigarettes and listed to a single song over and over on the cassette player. The song would become a mantra and he bonded with the song because of the dawning realization he had while listening to it. He would die alone and the bigger realization he had was that everyone else dies alone too.

Later taters, ughh

I was recording some base layers when the Junto email arrived last night, which was handy. This is Marbles/Plaits > Cocoquantus > tape, panned fully left.

So here’s my contribution to the jam project. It’s from my folder of orphaned loops, stuff I’ve recorded but not been able to utilise, so hopefully some kind soul out there can offer it a home and introduce it to some new playmates. Thanks

First time in ages I’ve had time to get into the studio - aiming to do a lot more of these this year!

I made a set of synth pads on my modular synth that work in Fm7 or D# at 102 BPM.
Its in stereo - hopefully there is enough space for people to play with - feel free to EQ agressively and strip any frequencies out as needed!

[Leonard_Bowman]

Since I (and most of this community, from what I’ve experienced) usually lean towards very processed electronic things, I decided to record a simple raw melody on my melodica this time.

It isn’t perfect playing but it’s light and melodic and simple enough to be expanded, i think.

(80 bpm, G major. the melodic sections are in 7/4, the chord sections are in 3/4)

[hightunnels]

Here’s a melody generated in Orca into one instance each of Aalto and Ableton Operator synths. C# Major, panned hard left.

I love this sort of disquiet project. It’s impossible to predict how people will read what you’ve done and what they will have to say. I put this up quickly and then completely forgot to post here… oops. I look forward to hearing what everyone is making.

[joyneski]

Distorted sort-of-arpeggiating noise pad derived from shoving a sample through Pitchmap set to shift between D major triad and Em7 chords every 24 seconds. Sample was pitchshifted in the process to give the arpeggiating effect, after which I sent it through Absynth with a blast of waveshaping on every chord change and a truckload of slowly modulating Pipe reverb. (The sample was of me aimlessly strumming a guitar, not that you’d be able to tell.)

Here is the solo:

It is merely a byproduct of playing around with the Izotope Iris 2 inside a generative Live setup. It should be pretty standard Amajor with 120bpm, but it’s not so sure because the core of the used samples is atonal.

The charme of this track is, that you could leave it as it it, but I think on the other side there is a lot of room for musical additions of all sorts.

I’ve been looking forward to another collab project for awhile. Excited to dive in and see what everyone creates together.

I’ve been doing a lot of learning with vcvrack lately and this is a part of a patch exploring composing with LFOs driving the sequence. I left it pretty raw since it’s the first step in the process, feel free to mangle and manipulate it however you wish. Composed in E minor, 148bpm clock driving some of the delay effects. Here is the video from Omri Cohen that was my starting point. Composing with LFO's in VCV Rack - YouTube

Always excited by telephone game collaboration…

Mono version available if necessary.

Hi all, I’m a bit confused… If I’m up for listening to the above tracks then selecting one to add something to for next week, do I need to submit something for this week also ?

Hi. You don’t need to post a track this week in order to do so next week. Each week is its own thing. It’s great if you can, but no problem if you don’t.

[Glitcher]

Thanks Marc for clarifying
