This is so heavy. I wish a scene like this was where I am-.-

I did this track last night in an attempt to learn supercollider and some other software. I felt particularly inspired because some yunglean fan acct. dug my music😏

That’s pretty good, actually. Do you have more of something like that?

I’ve been practicing making ambient tracks on octatrack mk2 lately, here are some:

climb two is great! would love to hear the whole thing when it’s done.

Interesting. Checked your Bandcamp page, good stuff there, too. I especially liked Words, what did you use to make that, if you don’t mind me asking?

#3373

Thanks! Very basic setup; Blofeld + Analog Heat for the whole album.

That’s amazing. I’ve been considering getting Heat myself for quite some time now, would you recommed it? How many of its features do you use on a regular basis?

Aaah! Should have gone with my first guess :wink: most of my tracks begin on OP-1 but then moved over to Ableton to clean up and give everything a healthy sprinkling of the new Echo plug-in. Damn I really love that thing!

I would highly recommend it! It’s not super deep compared to other Elektron stuff, pretty straight forward which I appreciate a lot so I think I use most of it’s features (distortion, filter, LFO’s, envelope etc). I use it with Overbridge to control parameters (such as very long “dry to wet” transformations for example) and use the internal audio interface to track the edited (distorted) track when I feel finish with the settings and modulations. Kind of somewhere between VST and hardware.

was gonna ask u what sound starts happening at 4:33 then it hit me whoa

#3379

I don’t, as I’ve always made beats and want to shift into working on more of what everyone does here; especially with what you’re doing with R07.

When that bass tone hits in the beginning :open_mouth: it re-frames everything in such a strong/somber sort of way, and I love how it impresses a stronger sense of the other rhythms coursing through the rest of the track.

edit: and R08… That’s freaking incredible…

Yo this is hella good! Getting some OPN vibes with the frantic melodic lines and super-crispy wide sound design. A little PC music too. Good work

And thanks! Seattle has a solid scene/audience for all sorts of heaviness/dance vibes/out-there shit. I feel fortunate to be part of a community that’s supportive of that kind of thing. I realize it’s not super common outside big metropolitan cities

Well, you’re off to a good start, I must say. Keep it up!

And thanks, glad you liked it. This kind of music actually pretty new to me, I’ve always been doing beats/percussion-oriented music, more, uh, conventional, I guess, like “here’s my melody, here’s my bass line, here are some beats”. To start making this new stuff I’ve actually had to reconsider how and even why I make music. Moving from DAW to OT certainly helped big time.

By OT, do you mean out-of-the-box? I totally agree though, that seeing a community like this (after a pretty tame-ass media arts degree in “Sonic-Arts”) gives me hope that there’s several folks recontexualizing the way they make and listen to music.

I keep listening to R08 and it does exactly that. Actually, your guys’ feedback inspired me to finally finish another beatza that was my first sketches w/ an er-301:

…I’m not sure if this falls in line with why I make music, but talking to others on the forum, having a platform to bounce ideas essentially, makes it all the more exciting!

By OT I meant Octatrack MkII, it’s what I’ve been using almost exclusively for almost a year now.

This track just came out on the Modularism 2 compilation. Heavy on Mangrove, 3Sisters, Coldmac & Phonogene

This is a complete, Eurorack-only track played live 2/1/19 @ FUNHAVEN in Garner, NC.

It has a heavy Black Dice influence if the dice got shook up by Han Bennink. Please enjoy.
