Dictaphone Sketch has good textures, rawness, and warmth. I dig that it’s not in a hurry, or how it lingers on its notes (flavorful not bland), and it feels uncluttered, vibrant / not overly labored over. It’s sad/affecting. The quality of the sounds is really nice.

Corporate Dystopian sounds like a couple of good premises or parts, with potential. The measured vibe/atmosphere of the first scene feels well-established, but it’s kind of incongruous with the second part.

How many rationalizations does it take to buy a(n admittedly used) Deckard’s Dream? A lot, it turns out! But I’m very happy nonetheless. Take a listen to it and some friends, with the Octatrack at the centre.

Still a lot to learn but MLR is pretty rad

I have an unreleased track on this benefit compilation for the Bahamas branch of the Red Cross. Contribute if you can!

The label I kind-of-run has just kind-of-released this collection of Supercollider pieces. TBH I can’t stop listening… but maybe I’m biased :wink:

Thank you for the reply! I sometimes have a hard time pacing ambient tracks because it seems my creative attention span is fairly short. I seldom have any grand overarching plan for a track, especially in the case of the dictaphone sketch. It’s mostly just a few disparate pieces of instrumentation. Interesting to hear that it’s passable.

The second track is barely finished at all, and it’s really meant to be two separate things. It was mostly just me trying to get out a vibe I was feeling after watching the documentary “The Smartest Guys in the Room”.

I’d kinda like to do something with MIDI akin to doom metal, or what Bohren and Der Club of Gore do with jazz. Super strung-out long-form digital synth stuff. If I can get up the motivation that is.

a thing I did for a remix competition. not ambient / dangerously close to being described as ‘tropical’ or ‘beachy’ or something, so it gets done under the “Willis Corto” moniker. there’s some four-on-the-floor, some swagger, lots of delay and plate reverb.

Found a random metallophone at our local zoo. Naturally I sampled it with my phone and mangled the hell out of the recording.

Hello ! Here’s some sounds and pictures.

A new release and (sort-of-) companion video from me.

‘Vigil’ is a 1-hour set recorded live on Star’s End Ambient Radio on WXPN in Philadelphia in April of this year:

…and this set was recorded just up the road at the Cosmic Crossings Concert Series in NJ earlier the same night, exploring some of the same sonic territory:

Instrumentation for both was eurorack modular, ARP Solus, Akai MiniAK, guitar, a handful of pedals, and the laptop running VCVRack, Yoshimi, Sooperlooper, and doing some sample playback.

I love making music outside. One of the many reasons the OP-1 is magical.

Here’s one of my first explorations with Norns. Mlr is looping and mangling the sounds coming from the OP-1. Norns is going through the Marantz PMD221 and I’m monitoring what’s being recorded to the tape in real time. All instruments are sent to the Tascam 414 mixer section with a simple reverb on the sends, coming from the Zoom MS-70CDR.

Thanks, and sorry for the long delay on the answer! :no_mouth:

There are actually no delays. The bubbling sounds come from Ableton’s Operator, the repeats are made both with MIDI arpeggios and repeating envelopes, its a rack I’ve made to imitate insects and if you turn some knobs you can get this kind of thing, depending on the MIDI input.

Thanks again, you’re very kind! :hugs:

Started a new Soundcloud playlist for my current small system setup. I’m really enjoying using the Quad mode of Batumi’s Expert Firmware as a sequencer. That’s what’s driving all the patches on this list so far. Some self patching and cross patching with the function generator end up doing some really interesting things with rhythm.

A new release from me.

Computer-controlled motor on hi-hat and computer-controlled e-bow on zither. Enjoy.
