Yeah! Was talking to @rbxbx about it, and we think it’d be a good idea to revisit this quick and dirty approach from time to time, so I might drop a Very Short Notice in between regularly scheduled LCRPs now and then.

Speaking of regularly scheduled LCRPs, the next equinox is on the way. If anyone wants to help organize it, hit me up in a private message.

OK, confession time. I thought that this was going to be a remix project so I kept things extremely minimal, and even labelled my track so that the other (non-existent!!) remixers would know what I’d done. I’d like to say ‘lesson learned’ but I’m sure I’ll do something like this again - probably sooner rather than later!!

Anyway, looking forward to hearing the mini-album this weekend…

You’re not the only one :wink: My track is a single take recording using one of the Haken Continuum presets.

The idea was to get something simple out quick. I’d say you were both successful!

So I noticed everyone else basically used their lines handle, is that typical practice for lcrp type things going forward?

And since @abalone detailed their process/tools here’s mine (lfld - hungry black socks)

closest instrument was a korg monotribe (their weird analog groovebox thing), so I grabbed that, played through its on board speaker into the onboard mic of my laptop, heavily tweaked tempo/cutoff/peak/lfo-speed and made some (potentially upsetting) sniffling sounds. Art!

edit: and I just finished listening, short indeed! A lovely little compilation. It’s a joy to hear everyone having some low stakes fun with the prompt :slight_smile:

Don’t think there’s any kind of rule.

Also, if you want me to change it, I’m happy to do so.

I’m kind of amazed that’s all monotribe! I thought sure there was some kind of fancy ciat-lonbarde madness going on there. Shows what I know! So cool, I love your track.

And my “process” on this one was to load up an instrument in Roli Equator and play it for a bit. Which was, kinda the point!

It’s a really fun (to reiterate, fun!) little instrument that happily goes to some pretty weird places if you do things with it that I don’t imagine you’re supposed to (tweaking tempo & lfo speed in unison in particular gets all sorts of groovy/off-kilter), have gotten some pretty decent buchla bongo madness out of it in the past, imo. And thank you!

listening to everybody’s contributions really makes me smile!

my nearest instrument was my singing bowl, and I used a zoom h1 to record a little percussive ditty on it. attempting to embrace the spirit of the lcrp, i immediately recorded it upon reading the instructions; this is the first take, etc.

i’ve been playing around a little bit with slicing up the singing bowl in my er-301 but haven’t gotten anywhere that i am super happy with where it’s been going. it felt freeing to be able to just record something basic and get it right out the door.

also, my nose warmed up afterwards.

Yep, I did too, and was fairly scared when I read a few posts later (after I sent in my bit) it was going to be a compilation. In hindsight, though, I wouldn’t have been able to make something spontaneous if I knew it would have to stand on its own.

As luck would have it I had gotten a QY70 on that day, and was going through the presets and layering them - it wasn’t so bad, as I played an extended version at a party, earlier this month :slight_smile:

Finally got a chance to listen to the EP. Well done everyone!! These were some of my favourites. @wheelersounds track made me really happy, and somehow reminded me of the Sun City Girls. I liked how chance placed @jasonw22 and @dnealelo back to back, their tracks chiming nicely together. golden chorale (I think that’s @jlmitch5) was uplifting…

I noticed a cool distribution of colour words in the track titles. We got two black songs, two green tracks (plus a turquoise track), and a violet-purple pairing.

The whole listening experience confirmed something for me: I really do like short songs…
