made some highlights of mine and @pleurodesis sets. I just watched through mine and was touched by all the comments and had a few laughs over all of the pinecone related puns
Really happy with how @pleurodesis set came together, had to improvise some visuals without listening to it beforehand, and I really think the forest matches the prerecorded set I got just minutes before we started the stream. great how stuff like this just works.
Woohoo! Thank you!
I seem to have spent most of my weekend on twitch, one way or another - And still got the second lines community stream to look forward to!
Massive thanks to everyone who’s made this happen
Got a couple of hours of sleep, but before I go into full hibernation mode I just want to say:
Thank you all for participating, performing and engaging. This was a wild and inspiring ride!
I had to go to bed just before the last couple of performers yesterday (although I did catch up this morning) but I really enjoyed all of this, especially seeing how diverse people’s approaches are to their music and visual aesthetic.
A big thank you to everyone who put time and effort into this. I absolutely loved the performances and music, and the organisation and running of it were outstanding.
This was such a great way to spend the weekend. Here’s my set minus the pre-roll:
I saw a couple questions go by in the chat at the time, but then had to reload to see the next set, so I lost them. But to answer the two that I know I saw: the Norns script I was using is an Ornament + Crime-inspired shift register-ish sequencer I’m writing, very much a work in progress but the code is here (if anyone is interested in trying it out themselves, get in touch – I’d welcome testing & feedback!); and the keening string section-like sounds are that sequencer controlling (via Crow) two MFB OSC-02 pulse waves -> Optomix -> Clouds Parasite looping delay mode. @oot, who I know asked about this: the string-ness probably has little to do with timbre, and mostly comes from using Crow’s sine slew shape and Clouds/uBurst’ nice slow delay time smoothing – delay time is always changing as it’s being clocked by an intentionally drifty clock generated by Teletype, so Clouds is doubling the two OSC-02 voices, sometimes at a very different pitch.
Thanks so much to everyone who played & hung out in the chat & special thanks @noiserock for proposing this in the first place and making it happen. There were so many really inspiring sets.
This makes a lot sense to me in retrospect. I’ve capture similar feeling sounds granulizing dobro. The realism (intentional or not) is always surprising when you come across it though!
thanks everyone for the music, vibes, support and technical help. it was a great weekend! and thanks @noiserock for all the work organizing this gathering!
sharing my set as well with audio resynced to the video:
Had such a great weekend listening and hanging out with everyone in the chat!
