It all started with the “Sea Song” patch on the Novation Summit. I tried to imagine sundown by the seaside.

Jamn25 - 23 - In Your Dreams

My track for day 23 of Jamuary 2025. Today's prompt is "Silent Partner" (from Brian Funk). 
Track Lyrics: 
Was anyone gonna say anything? 
It always takes a woman. 
In every room, a woman.
At every turn, a woman. 
A nasty kind of woman.
A woman.
A woman says, "have mercy."

Day 23 Track for Jamuary 2025.  "Silent Partner."  Activity: Leave space—use silence as a compositional tool.

Atmos

Day 23 - Silent partner
- trying to leave space - use silence as a compositional tool.

Today was a strange one. I tried to recreate an effect / sensation / illusion, I experienced in a song where I had the feeling that... and this is going to sound mental.. the feeling that the silence was being panned around.

Problem is, I can't remember the song!  I think it's by Jon Hopkins but I'm still looking.

Anyway, I tried playing around with automating gain, filers and panning. I can't say I succeeded..  But before the synth came in, I almost had the impression of what I was trying to achieve.
I also asked AI to help me recreate (the song cover is AI's attempt at explaining a way to create the illusion)

It was such a crazy effect. But this was a failure, although the great Thomas Edison also had a whole bunch of failed experiments before inventing the actual light bulb.

“I have gotten lots of results! I know several thousand things that won’t work!”

The faint scent of chemicals still clung to the air years after the metal behemoth had stopped operating. Deep in the bowels of the great machine, the ghostly rhythmic whirs and clicks of machinery could still be heard in the walls like a faint heartbeat.

JAMUARY2025 - Day 23 - She's My Love

I’ve been runnin’ with a purpose, yeah they nervous, tryna knock me off my stride 
But I’m steady yeah I’m ready got my target in my sights 
They been tellin’ me to settle, but the pedal never let up when I’m goin’ for the gold 
Cuttin’ like a scalpel through the static, automatic, I’m a cannon bout to blow 
They don’t want the pressure that I’m pressin’, got a weapon I’m about to unload, 
Every syllable a bullet, if I pull it, better duck, cause imma--

My patience thin, but my bassline fat 
It's 10PM, do you know where your girl at? 
Better watch your mouth, cause I’m finna clap back 
Feeling some type of way, what the fuck where you at

I’m a menace with a rhythm and a vision, never quit it, never slow 
Throw me in a blizzard, I’m deliverin’ an icy flow 
Listen to the critics, yeah, they bitter, I’m a winner, never slippin’ on the lows 
I’m a wizard with the lyrics, let me spit it, call me Caleb Widogast 
Can’t diminish what I’m bringin’, yeah, I’m putting on a class 
Babe ruth swingin’ for the fences, way I bring it home 
Every single second that I’m breathin’, I am in my zone

My patience thin, but my bassline fat 
It's 10PM, do you know where your girl at? 
Better watch your mouth, cause I’m finna clap back 
Feeling some type of way, what the fuck where you at

Making Grooves in Silence (Jamuary 2025 Day 23)

Day 24 
Woke up early and instead of thrashing about trying to get that one more hour of sleep (which wasn't going to happen), I got up.  This happened.

Today's goal was to make one minute of music.  Curious how that almost took an hour xD

Day 24 - One Minute Wonder

Okay, so this is the actual latest I've started one of these in a day, at 9:00 PM. To be honest, after 22 days in a row of making beats, and of course the relentless awfulness of the world beyond my head, I needed a break from everything in the morning. Stayed in bed until 10 with one of my cats and devoted most of the day before teaching to sorting out my audiobook situation (I decided to switch to libro.fm).

Putting the creative work off to the end of the day is obviously risky, but I usually have good energy right up to midnight and usually my wife is in bed by 10, so I figured this would be no problem. And I was right.
