Description: Jamuary Jam number 1 of 2025. Subharmonicon into Mood with some help from Live.

I was visiting family today and recorded all of my family members saying "Happy New Year". I used these clips as the basis for this short experimental piece. I had no plan for this other than to mess with the audio and see what emerged.

If you're taking part in #Jamuary this year you might like to submit your tracks for inclusion in a roundup podcast I'll be doing throughout the month at https://www.audiointerface.org/shows/yesterdays-jam/

Had some fun with sound design creating the drum patterns before recording the upright bass and guitar. The song alternates between 4/4 and 10/4. I let the drum pattern play by itself at the end. 

SDJ - Ants

This is another sound design song, the rhythm stutters while the guitar plays a chord progression with each chord sustained. 

SDJ - VHaVT

This is more sound exploration where I created a sound with one of Ableton's instruments, adding various effects and baking in automation to start out with. I then used that sound to craft the individual drums. When the drums were finished, I chose a guitar line I had recorded for Jamuary and added it to Granulator III which sits on top. What I find really cool is I doubt anyone would guess it started out as a guitar and ends up being entirely rhythmic. I decided it sounded just fine as is, it's one of the few songs I've made without adding any melodic or harmonic instruments.
