A new track of mine, trumpet + electronics.

The title is inspired by reading a lot of British writer Kazuo Ishiguro.
I read about 4 of his novels at the beginning of 2017 as he used to live in my city Norwich - we have a great history of writers here because of the famous UEA writing courses so thought I would give him a read. And then he goes and wins the Nobel Prize for literature!

Love this track! Really dig brass/wind and electronics. Is that you playing the trumpet? Super chill.

hey Dan, do you mind walking through the patch for this? I really (really) like it, but I’ve never used a TT, so beyond knowing that Just Type is being used here, I’m in the dark and want to know more.

this is really gorgeous. reminiscent of erbe verb feedback swells while modulating size at various points too. :slight_smile:

I don’t see this as being very off topic. I actually would really love to see a Mannequins W/ review done in this style. Sort of anti-jargon, just concentrated excitement! The thing that makes it so good is the unapologetic expression of joy and … whimsy. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry, couldn’t help it.

just an improv on block party sampling live’s collision
https://aalvaradoc.bandcamp.com/album/untitled-2

I did a 100% improv set on this weird Facebook live show I do once a week. I mess up some and my talking is boring and stupid (you should skip past it), but there is some cool stuff every once in awhile. I’m running Sum on my 128, playing cassette loops, my Organelle, my Voyager and a few other cool pieces of gear.

Cheers!

Listened for about 10mins (will go back later) really great! I like this style and you play it well. Always fun to hear live or loose improve. Thanks for sharing.

You do a lot of short loop bg ambient bits, (i like those, and do it similarly sometimes) i wonder if you’re as curious about the w/ as i am! :exploding_head:

Thanks so much for the feedback! Glad you dig it. I’m slowly getting better at improvising with this rig. Hope to have a video of an actual rehearsed set up sometime soon.

What is the w/??? I’m half awake right now after a crazy week so my brain is barely functioning haha. :crazy_face:

hey been makin some tiny raps

watch out there’s bad words


“beats” made with this beat machine app i’m working on…

the monome makes sine waves and stuff, cuts up samples, sequences. meanwhile a teenage engineering po-12 does drums. the po-12 feeds a click track to the monome, which uses that to time its sequencer.
