Great tracks! Smooth sounds! Is it a modular composition?

absolutely gorgeous and I appreciated how much you incorporated your voice – it evens out the timbral field in a lovely and unexpected way.

Really glad that this forum exists. It’s so fascinating to see such an extensive timeline of music.

Last year I lived in the old city of Salamanca, Spain. It was a temporary thing, so I decided I’d go outside and record some improvisational music on location using custom-made software made for that specific performance. They were all recorded on specific historic locations, and each piece is named after the location.

Here are the videos on YouTube:

Plaza Mayor de Salamanca: https://youtu.be/FeL2cBpv2h4
Plaza de Anaya: https://youtu.be/HOadOgDS_fE
Río Tormes: https://youtu.be/HiNOuPj0N-I

My philosophy with these performances was to improvise everything in the moment, without performing any edits or corrections after the fact. I did do some video editing for aesthetic purposes, but musically, all of the performances are unaltered.

I’d love to share this music in this forum - hopefully some of you guys might find them interesting.

Howdy! A couple Fridays ago I debuted a ton of new work live at an amazing Seattle house venue. It’s part of a new project and a developing record that incorporates elements of techno, modern comp, drone/dark ambient, concrète, noise and all kinds of other stuff.

The venue captured and edited some cool footage of the whole set — there are audio issues in a few places (doubled/out of sync audio) but it’s still cool. I suspect it may not be a lot of lllllllliner’s cup of tea, but maybe some folks will enjoy the sounds :slight_smile:

Thank you! I’d never heard this term before and I first thought you were referring to modular synthesis, but I’m now thinking that’s not what you meant right?

I’ll have to delve deeper into modular composition!

sorry, I actually meant modular synth… but modular composition is a nice thing per se :slight_smile:
so how do you make these Derive tracks?
