Philip K.Dick is a science fiction writer well known for his novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” that was taken to Hollywood under the name of “Blade Runner”. In “Ubik” we also travel to the future, to a world where parallel realities are mixed with half-life, telepathy, where you have to throw a few coins to your home door if you want to go out, flights to the moon,…classic science fiction literature that is always a pleasure to read.

How fun! I love PKD, and assume that there are many others here who do as well…

Can’t wait to give this a spin :sunglasses:

I have only read “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” and “Ubik” from him, and both were great. I think I am going to read a few more.

Octatrack + Volca FM

Worked on the sound for this short film. Very fun project with satisfying results!

Sampled the Lyra 8 into the Analog Rytm, since I imagined it would be self-indulgent to record a Lyra 8 performance without sufficient practice. Once it was in the Rytm, much more melodic ideas arose and quickly took shape, and I love how they almost fight against the sound of the Lyra 8 a little. Minitaur and Octatrack scenes brought it all together.

Again Octatrack + Volca FM. No samples this time, the only sound source is Volca FM.

Made another remarkable sandwich!

And, aside from the percussion, I made the song using M-Tron Pro VST.

It doesn’t matter what you decide to do, I always find it hugely inspiring, thank you.

Finally settled on a setup I like for full tracks. Just need to get some drums in here eventually, but I’m happy with the voices. One take on the modular w/ light mastering in Ableton. Can provide patch notes if anyone is interested!

Two calm melodic ambient tracks. They were supposed to be part of an album, but eventually I’ve removed them to make space for something different.

  1. The backing voice plays long notes with slew limiter applied to pitch CV and the lead piano-like voice gets processed with morphagene’s time lag accumulation. Later, around the middle, I start changing morphagene’s gene and slice parameters, I like how this introduces some stutter.

  1. I’m slowly enabling gates on a sequencer, so some random notes transform into a (also random) musical phrase. This one was supposed to be an outro on the album. Now replaced with something else.

The album itself is ready to be released, it will go live in a couple of days, on May 19th. I’ll post it here too when it’s live.

Granular synthesis of ganrang (acoustic percussion from Sulawesi) with program that based on MaxMSP, blend with repetitive rhythm of percussions and gong.

Moody thing, melodically saturated. Sequenced from teletype. Patch notes in description on youtube…

Borderlands granular provides a bell drone and a delayed sparkle on the entire mix, a guitar played percussively pings tuned resonant filters on a Zoia, and the whole thing is rounded out with a final layer of Zoia looping and glitching a Microfreak.
