Yesterday’s jam was aborted due to difficulties in implementing an envelope-following control system for Beads. I returned to it today and tweaked it successfully by adding a window comparator. CW: bowed electric guitar.

I enjoyed the track. Also it brought my attention to Lacinantes, which escaped my notice before and is right up my alley

Half way and a track per day!
Here’s even more Rhodes over modular (It’s just too much fun).

For my jam today I continued to explore using oscillators set to fixed frequencies from the Solfeggio tuning. I first heard about this scale when reading the book “Tuning the Human Biofield” by Eileen Day McKusick. Because the frequencies are already set before I start my jam, my main focus is on creating rhythms and playing with the wave timbre from the oscillators.

it’s raining and i’m tired.
here’s a chill modular patch with JF in noise FLOOM, disting ex through some analog downsampling and beads.

A terrible weekend but I made something

15 done. Just about halftime. A few clunkers for sure, but also some that made me happy. My own favourites so far are day 6,7,8 and 14.

Very pleasant work for how minimal it is. Reminds me of Mike Oldfield’s soundtrack to the Killing Fields. There’s a tribal aspect to the repetitive drumming in the tune but you manage to keep it interesting. Good job!

Great Jam here!
Is this all just layered ebow guitar? Did you use an acoustic with the ebow?
It sounds great… more like a string instrument/ensemble than typical ebow guitar that I’ve heard.
Inspires me to get the Ebow out and have a play (not used it for a while).

Happy that I have kept up with my own target of 1 upload a week for Jamuary:
This uses a new Reaktor MIDI effect I’ve been working on for a while (nearly finished)… a 4 voice chord generator and voice arpeggiator. My own take on Olafur Arnalds Stratus, mixed with Harmonaig Chord generation 
It’s basically a ‘one key wonder’… press a note and you get 4 note chords, and different rhythms per note (inc. random +Oct and +5th transposition)… all within a set scale.
I’ve wanted to build something like this for a long time and it’s nearly done… I’m pretty chuffed (best thing I’ve done so far in Reaktor).
Jamuary seemed a good excuse to test it out.
Jam starts with Chords and then the Voice Arpeggiator comes on @ 20 seconds.
Everything generated by the MIDI effect from a monophonic midi file.

Thank you! 
Electric guitar into three sisters, low output into tanh, center input into the wavefolder. I switched between crossover and formant mode IIRC—the wavefolder tends to sound better the less frequencies you send to it, in my experience. I was controlling the wavefolder amount with an expression pedal, and the 3sis frequency cutoff moved around nudged by a slow chaotic lfo.
Ebow was in harmonic mode at least some of the time; all the layering is done via Beads—long reverse grains transposed by Marbles in just intonation ratios (which really work with the harmonic mode in the Ebow). Grains are offset down by two octaves to keep the Marbles transposition (0-2v range) from pushing things into chipmunk territory.

Was quite into yesterday’s effort. Should’ve gone on for longer…like 20 mins or so…

#Jamuary2023 Ep. 16: Palindromes
Beto’s prompt on Jamuary.org was to make a palindrome. So today I’m playing the Ab Dorian scale up and down on both hands. The left advances every third note of the right. The melodies meet in perfect symmetry after three revolutions. The result is a calm if eerie phase shift.
In the second part of the video the reverb is fully engaged while the dry signal is all but taken away. That makes it appear as if there was a choir chanting. Interesting discovery, I will be using that in the future.
Note that due to the left hand playing three times as slow as the right, the entire passage is a palindrome. So there is a palindrome within the palindrome:
And entirely coincidentally today’s Genuary prompt is reflection of a reflection.

I’m so glad. V inspired by fungus since learning more about the work of Paul Stamets
Now how to bring that into music so more…?

not much time today so recorded a quick variation on yesterday’s patch - slowed it down, changed voice, dropped the percussion

Yesterday tested the Bastl Waver.
Patch: Just Friends, Operat, Waver and Elements with some modulation via Tides.
Sharp sounds and, at times, compressed and fat.

I wanted to share today’s jam because of its process: I absolutely wanted to base the jam on a field recording. I chose a recording of a brass band playing at fair in a small village, which I recorded two years ago. I wanted to process this a bit and fade it into a percussive texture. To get smooth transitions, I wanted to connect AUM on iPad with TouchOSC on my iPhone - which should be simple enough. Still, I couldn’t get it to work. My 16 faders on TouchOSC did not control volumes of channels but for some reason various parameters of several synths and effects (all at the same time). At this point, I gave up configuration and just recorded a live mood piece around the 16 faders and their unknown destinations. Ridiculous concept and execution - still: this was my jam on January 16.
