was so excited for his album, i made a song dedicated to @tehn in celebration, this song expresses what it feels like to finally get a whole album’s worth of that beautiful stuff:

was all done in one patch and one take, recorded straight from:

I released something new, after going back&forth on it for quite a while. This place has prompted me to rethink and/or relax about things more than once. First time I’ve put out music with so much raw process present in. Recording and editing these tracks helped me process today’s world – not something I’d imagine myself writing openly about, but there it is. Enjoy ♪♫

This is the first track I make with the Nerdseq sequencer and the just released new Poly Wavetable synth algorithm from the Disting EX. The track begins with some kind of Hoquetus, where I split an arpeggio between 3 different voices.

my pleasure, Brian! the album sounded so quality, it inspired me to take a second look at all these tricks i’ve learned this year to create more interesting/analog-like synth sounds.

much of it is wave shaping with chebyshev polynomials as i learned you can create some great sounds with those in an MC context(someone should translate this waveshaping stuff into norns if it hasn’t been already… but using the more-efficient wavetable form instead of the equation i use in the acid patch): https://cycling74.com/forums/-sharing-corrupts-the-youths-get-the-kids-hooked-on-acid-starter-patch
and the rest is this patch that i created recently for a recent disquiet-junto where i pretended to be a Boards-Of-Canada soundalike band(synths that detune, and are modulated by small amounts of noise, saturated, etc.).

and ya, to perform it i just created presets(you can see 1-16 messages in the middle of the main patcher beginner’s-style, haha… after setting up the presets, i just clicked through those every 4 bars or so in progression… normally, i script ‘thispatcher’ to change a named number box according to a clock, to handle that kind of global-sequencing but this time, just felt like fun to click through the progression like that)

Hope you put out many more beautiful albums to come! All the very best :beers:

Here’s my latest. The vast majority of it comes from my Novation Circuit, with a bit of modular, and editing and arranging in Ableton.

While organising files on my laptop came across a few forgotten modular studies mostly recorded this summer, at the begining of lockdown, feels like alot of these recordings were inspired from looking back at my life before coronavirus. I think I was noticing how loud and fast things were before.
I quite like to leave things I make to rest to the point where I have almost forgotten about them, when I finally do happen across them again it feels like im discovering somthing new but also very familar, allows me to view the feelings and intentions i had while making or recording these moments from a new perspective.
All these tracks were made using my pretty minimal 104hp modular system, in some cases I have layered a field recording over these studies that I feel relate in some way.
All of these tracks were made within a month of eachother, I had uplaoded three straight away in march but added the rest to them yesterday when I rediscovered them!

Background music for a chase scene where characters are in some out of space forest that is filled with Dark Cicadas.

I just spent six months exploring (trapped inside?) Cormac McCarthy’s novel Blood Meridian. As I get older, I’m finding it harder to talk about literature with any real confidence. Writing music has slowly become another way for me to process what is, or may be, going on.

Everything worked up in Ableton 10. Mostly guitar, and a few field recordings from the National Park Service.

Conceptual notes here:

Stay safe!!
