As yours is often mine :slight_smile:

It’s been a busy weekend, so while I have been keeping the SoundCloud playlist updated, I am just beginning to really dig into the music and discussion. Great stuff.

My concept was to record the track at 60bpm at a length of 4 minutes.Then increase the bpm every minute. Starting with 60 then 120 then 240 then 360
Put a bass part at 60 bpm into Reaper
Added a track of spacey-fx-percussion like sounds
Added a melody/percussion track of beepy/saxophone type sound
Put Eventide’s Ultra-channel on the master track set to micro pitches

My track began as a simple drum and bass loop which I progressed through the speed changes. Taking it to the sextuple variation introduced some interesting syncopation. The second half of the track I mixed and matched different speed loops. I composed this track in Korg Gadget.

Fulfilled the brief anyway!

So, this week was TOUGH!
I sat thru Thursday, got no where, at all.
I sat thru Friday evening, got no where. Was pissing about with Midi clips.
I sat thru Saturday evening, got no where. Continued pissing about with Midi clips, but devices were kinda half there at the end of it.
Sunday, got no where at the start. About midnight, as the doors of perception are opened (everyone else in the house asleep, basically), I cut it back to basics, and came up with this.
Today, just a few fixes, and mixing stuff.

Ableton on Windows, Kirnu Cream, TAL Uno LX, Strobe2, not too many effects - basically one instance of ReplikaXT I think.
Some sweetners on the Master bus - Sausage Fattener, and some EQ and Compression.

Hope you enjoy, thanks for listening :+1:

Funny one - rendering the audio from Ableton - the progress bar in Ableton must measure beats and bars, and not duration. The rate of change of the progress bar was directly proportional to the track tempo! :slight_smile:

tempo is doub/quad/sextupled by dividing the metro in teletype . [then cycled]

this junto has the distinction of being the first sound i recorded with ableton

First-time post, here. Glad finally to have finished/posted something on time.

Created with Ableton Live.

I created a new track using the patch for my entry this week, with all the clocks slowed down and a morphing, self-sampling 13 note sine-wave sequence added. The recording I made was 28 minutes long, and it had not finished working through the first cycle of one set of clocks before I faded it out. It is quite relaxing, so I set the patch running about 45 minutes ago while I work, and it seems it gets more interesting as the patch proceeds and the rate of change increases - I am going to have to make another recording - could need to be two hours or more long!

i could listen to this for hours… look forward to the 2+ hrs version

i wouldn’t call that cheating, just lateral thinking (or backwards thinking?)
