“vagueRhythm” is a self-oscillating Cold Mac tangled up with Three Sisters and Just Friends. I think that’s it, if I remember correctly.

“vagueTonal” I don’t remember as well. According to my Ableton project, it’s primarily a Mangrove through a Serge/Random*Source Wave Multipliers.

I tried to keep them short and cryptic to not enforce any ideas about structure or intent.

Both from modular and since torn down, but from what I remember:
Percussive: Trigger Riot firing triggers. Mangrove into Optomix, VC Noiz with very short env from Maths, and Tiptop 808 hats modulated by turning machine.
Melodic: Was a more complex patch. Rubicon and DPO are the sources, both into either side of of a Korgasmatron, with once side fm’d by the VC Noiz. Out into ModDemix. Assorted modulation and crossfade in the Korgasmatron from Ansible cycles.

my process for starting usually involves
three folders
not using, using, maybe
I sort the samples so they fit into those three categories

wait a day and go through everything in the folders
reassign as necessary

that is when the choice of playing surface comes
things I’ve used lately
OP1, samplr (ipad), nanoloop (ipad)

quick question: was/is it a rule to not use your own samples?

IIRC both my samples are from me playing my music easel clone, but I can’t be sure. I like to keep my samples unlabeled. I suck.

I honestly don’t remember how I made my samples. I don’t seem to have kept the Live set. Oops! Sorry.

I started out with renaming all samples 1-60 and put them in 10 different folders(sample 1 folder 1, s2 f2, … sample 11 back to folder 1 and so on). So, I option for ‘shuffle/match’ in each folder and later see where it goes.

I created my samples using two home-built Pure Data patches that modulate/mangle playback of audio files.

Making good progress with my track, Enjoyed the process- haven’t done anything too difficult -hung everything around one killer loop really. There is a great mix of good samples in the pot to choose from but I’ve gone for a paired down sound with only about 5 main samples. I did miss there being no spoken word or media samples or vocals of any kind to get a kind of narrative feel.(anyone else think that) but that’s the challenge of a project like this. makes the best of whats there.

What do we do with finished mixes? do we send them back to you for a unified release on bandcamp? or soundcloud them and link?

Usually send them back to the organiser and they’ll put them together on bandcamp

#123

I would wait before sending all our stuff to the OP, there might follow another option later.

#124

Sorry for the late reply. Definitely planning for a unified release.
Will send every participant a personalised upload link by the end of the month where you can upload your track.
