hello

this year was all about finding a new place for myself. moved to a bigger city, started a new job and made quite a lot of tunes.

guess we all had time for making sounds this year. not sure what to think about it.

anyway. i started this year with this

this record is dedicated to my ex. feels weird that i got a lot of positive feedback on this one. it was a painful process and i was going through depression and health problems at that time.

this year is going to end in a few days. maybe things will change. maybe not.

this is my message to y’all. you are not alone. alls going to be fine. this world is a mess. let’s make something beautiful.

the toolset is quite basic here. kaivo — virta — aaltoverb. i’ve recreated the patches from scratch. it’s free/pwyw.

love y’all

thank you so much for these sounds… beautiful, even if they came from a painful place. i’ve listened to a lot of your stuff this year :pray:

could you perhaps describe a little how you use the madrona plugins, especially virta…? it’s the one i haven’t managed to gel with properly yet (although likely just needs more time/attention from me…)
are you using it to generate sound, or process other stuff (aalto/kaivo?)? any tips or tricks would be great to hear.

glad to know that you’ve enjoyed some of my tunes -thank you!

not an expert by any means. i use @randy plugins as a system. if i need sample playback / granulation i use kaivo. virta’s delay module is fantastic. i often use the number of voices as a modulation source.

i rarely use resonator. kaivo’ chorus and virta’ oscillators are amazing.

aaltoverb

feel free to ask any questions

Thanks for sharing. I agree, less is often more…
