Jamuary 2022

I thought I had a great idea and attempted to pass electribe through zoia but I just couldn’t get anything I liked. Later I tried granchild on some recorded drones from dronecaster but I still wasn’t happy.

Finally, here at the end of day 15 lithop by @midworld came to the rescue! All I need for my day to be perfect was a loop of I don’t know what and a generous portion of fuzz!

jam 15 was weird. i couldn’t be bothered to set up headphones/monitoring, so we had no idea what it was sounding like until it was over. :sweat_smile: more improv with @TotalEnergy

RRRAAA!!! Here’s a beat for big monsters. This morning I realized I could use an old metronome as a clock source for the po-400’s metronome, which would let its sequencer run a little slower and allow me to get something more deliberate out of it. I made this bassline and added a harmony on octave + a fifth above using Soundtoys’ Little AlterBoy with mapped a slight LFO to the “formant” knob. Now go stomp the city!

For day 16 I’ve played my subharmonicon into pedalboard by @21echoes. It has a granular mode based on clouds by mutable instruments which I’m relying on a lot here for texture.

Yeaaasssss keep going people! :rainbow::bow_and_arrow: We are halfway through and super interesting and strange jams above and on mainstream social media. I think i missed just one so far, this is fuuuuun :anatomical_heart: PLUR

:cloud: I always color-coordinate my gear to the weather and where I live the grey OP-Z is often the choice :cloud:

Day 16. Missed out yesterday as well because I’m a lazy person. Today I did a small bit with my baritone triggering Nebulae and Just Friends via Teletype.

Day 16. I found a sweet spot with my Tetragrid that Swoop drum-rolled happily from and made Just Friends chirp wildly. I kind of like the gritty played inside a tin can type sound of a band never quite agreeing with itself.

I don’t often think to record, but I was trying to get more bass tones out of the Ciat-Lonbarde gear, and I’m happy with where I wound up.

Getting to know the Moog Sound Studio modules, have had the DFAM in the past, interesting having the 3 together, supported by my other modular bits:

For day 17 I felt inspired to take everybody’s favourite first script awake by @tehn and attempt to make it a bit more shoegaze. There’s also a dronecaster drone in the background for parts of it.

Officially the best video effects of jamuary 2022. And best acting. Or is it documentary?

Day 17. Switching between four oscillators playing four different things with unsynced CV.

you can get a decent groove without leaving the grid, but i’d still like to be better about leaving the grid.

I feel like my Jamuaries are getting weirder each day…

YouTube streaming thru OttoBit Jr pedal over the modular is too much fun!
