samples submitted, finally.

26 confirmed sample sets? If my counting is correct, this is going to be an incredible LCRP.

I always try to use every sample, in some processed form or edit. This is going to be quite the challenge. Ample time remaining for people to join and further jigsaw the compositional journey, too. So ready to do this.

@steveoath - I was thinking the same thing about publicly documenting process. I think it makes for a more thoughtful creative exploration. I usually self-document as a reference to future selves, so it’s making personal shorthand understandable for non-me readers.

Samples sent via mail. Hope it’ll do

Whoa, @jah! Now 27 sets? You were sending while I was typing.

I’m planning to send out a download like to all participants via PM in about 6 hours from now, simply because that’ll work best for my schedule today. Yes, I know that in some parts of the world that’ll be before midnight on 31st Jan. If somebody still sneaks in a sample contribution after that, I’ll send those samples in a separate link later.

I fully expect it to be highly educating if participants would share their approaches and process for this LCRP, even if very briefly. Obviously, that’d be entirely voluntary. But maybe some feel like sharing some insights when it’s all done and dusted. We’ll come back to that.

You are right. 27 submissions so far. This is going to be one big sample download (approx. 700 MB).

Everybody who sent me samples for LCRP has now received the download link to all submitted samples. 29 participants, 58 samples! Come on Alaska and Hawaii, there must be a 30th participant still prepping his/her samples somewhere! :wink:

As a reminder to participants: Use as many of the samples as you like. Cut them up, run them through effects, pitch them, whatever. Just don’t add any additional sounds from other sources. Deadline for sending your finished track (please send a link, not the complete file) is the 28th of February end of day.

HAVE FUN!

Great samples indeed!

/me googles “how to load custom samples into Tidal cycles”

I’d second that; it would also be interesting to hear how the various samples were created. We’re certainly spoilt for choice!

I used my weird folktek inspired prototype running into 2 delays and a reverb to create the weird noises. By experimenting with settings on the delays I was able to make weird noises.

My melodic is guitar layers through loads of delays. My percussive samples are recordings of things in my kitchen like the gas cooker, pepper grinder pans etc

My drum thingy is one of the first attempts to create beats with Dub Russell’s 2020.
The piano is a sample mangled in a Make Noise Phonogene.

Both my samples are field recordings.
The first one is a firedoor,that i opened and let slowly close by itself, twice.
The second one is a large iron gate (somewhere out there: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartreuse_Notre-Dame-des-Prés_de_Neuville-sous-Montreuil) that i played with.

My two samples are pretty dry. One is a snare drum I recorded from a session last year, just a single hit. The other is a totally unprocessed guitar riff recorded direct, so very clean. Both should lend well to heavy manipulation.

I communed with the netherworld for mine!

Jokes, but really one is an amped up vocal track from a pop(ish) song my girlfriend and I have made recently. Volcals ran through vitra and a load of other effects. The beat is my second encounter with the PO-12, what a lil beast that thing is. Some volca beats sprinkled over top, not my favorite as of late, but it sure is a noisy piece of kit

Can’t wait to get to chopping and mangling

My percussive sample is a Double Knot which manipulates its own speed. Its a stem taken from a failed attempt on a barberpole like Fold4, Wrap 5

The melodic example is a tiny play with the Deerhorn (kind of pll theremin) on the Plumbutter2. Half way through I turn the ultrasound up which is feedbacking through it.

Both horns, ultrasounds and double knot outputs are stereo split for your convenience :slight_smile:

mine I tried to make fairly unprocessed for mangling

perc
some op1 looping of a bass guitar recording a did a long time ago
sequenced aalto with manual tape speed recording on the op1

melodic
some aalto noodling, a different part of that same bass recording from oh so long ago

I think documenting the process will be a fun way to change things up
