Okay Fine — of s 8 11 [TAK019E]

I have been trying to alternate between more experimental and ambient uploads and more club oriented beat tracks. This tune is a nice middle ground, inspired by artists like Skee Mask and Djrum. The main chime type sound is a Cherry Audio Dreamsynth patch, and the more lush reversed stuff is the same sound going through a heavily modulated Pitch Hack, Valhalla Delay, and a morph filter with an LFO on the morph. I originally named the track Buggin based on the break I used but renamed it after I saw the art that The Glad Scientist generated for it.

The result of some experiments with the TAL Sampler and heavily processing a basic upright piano loop. The art is my first attempt at using Dall-E to generate visual art from a text prompt. Can't tell if its the opening of a world or its collapsing in on itself.

Fenestration

Starting to explore microtonal possibilities with the Max for Live microtuner device. Started out with some simple diatonic explorations and ended up returning to Ptolemy's Intense Diatonic scale which I had previously used as part of my Cartesian Meditations series of Eurorack videos on my YouTube channel. Back then I just looked up the hz of the notes in the scale and used the unquantized outputs from Rene and tuned each step manually. Microtuner makes it way easier and I am looking forward to exploring more complex xenharmonic scales. The other exciting thing about doing microtonal stuff in Ableton is that I can explore polyphony much more easily. This patch is Operator with some delay, chorus, and reverb. I originally had the project file for this just called Ptolemy, but after seeing The Glad Scientist's lovely AI art for it, I decided to echo the title of my original modular piece, Ptolemy's Dream, with Medusa's dream. The stone, or perhaps the one whose gaze beholds a petrified world, dreams of lightness.
