Here’s a section of a musical project I finally got around to finishing and putting up, set to some footage I took on my phone from last night’s train ride from Manhattan back upstate.

(You can listen to / buy a digital copy of the album @ https://zuliani.bandcamp.com )

Just got myself a Hiwatt Custom Tape Echo, and just wow… this thing is amazing. I love it.

Norns MLR providing some guitar chops and some contact microphone stuff. A big wash of Valhalla Room reverb in Ableton, plus some light saturation on the master track. The tape echo brings all the mojo. I can literally sit with this thing all day…

Really nice. Plym,
I like it best in the middle and low ranges. The higher notes seem to have less unique characters.

Haha, thanks! I’m really just trying to catch up on all the coolness floating around the forum. And yeah, the tape looks freakingly cool and weird. I would love to work with some video/animation stuff though. Thanks for the feedback, always much appreciated :pray:t2:

Thanks @lumena! The highs can be a little hard to tame in contrast to the lows. But yeah, I think the MLR script sounds really good when pitching things down.

low volume, panning, and filtering is how I’m starting to work them in. octave up is a powerful tool with just the right moderation, difficult to get it right in my experience. 1-2 octaves down though, always so good.

That’s great advice! When working on a more composed piece I use a lot more time on the shaping/sculpting of the frequencies and tones, especially with filtrering, EQ and compression. For these I like to keep them more «as is». Since the different tracks in MLR are being pitched both up and down. Getting comfortable with multiband comp step by step!

having separate tracks for loops is useful in this case as well. one of the reasons why I’m less keen on norns I guess

Most def. One of the great advantages of the re:mix patch in M4L. Maybe one day Crow will have the ability to extend the Numbers of outputs. That would be amazing.

mlr-a will record four stereo tracks, and have a similar-ish feature set to norns mlr. ~ stay tuned ~

Thanks Kyle! Really appreciate it :slight_smile: Space wise, some things I’ve been playing with is placing different reverbs with long decay time on return tracks, so that the source can be played or punched in and out without being to attacky (if that makes any sense). Also using some noise source (the Erosion plugin in Ableton is really nice actually) to create the feeling of breath and air. I love the sound of woodwinds, and often find myself to want to avhieve some of the same textures with other sound sources.

I really like it! The part around minute 5 reminds me of Brothomstate’s Qtio EP :blue_heart:
