For this submission I started with percussions and wanted to use my modular for sequencing, but I changed my plans and decided to do it with Ableton and my Zoom H5 instead.
Since I play bass as a main instrument this time I decided to explore the higher part of the spectrum of frequencies. 
I started recording seven loops (parts) using different instruments: a cuban clave, a home-made shaker, a singing bowl, a pair of Tingsha (tibetan cymbals), bamboo sticks, some sheep bells and an african metal rattle. Ended up with something that reminds me of the hidden life in a meadow, a wood or a small pond, thus the title Microskopios. 

I started with a simple clave rhythm in 15/8 subdivided 4+3+4+4 at 101.96 BPM and heavily processed it. Pitched it up 36 semitones and then sculpt it with EQ, Compressors, Lagrange, Grain Strain, Echo and Void.
I then recorded bamboo sticks hitting them with the clave while they were on the floor following the 4+3+4+4 division, pitched them down 24 semitones and processed with Phaser, Slink Pan and Springs. 
Then I improvised some patterns with the home made shaker and the metal rattle. 
The shaker is pitched 31 semitones down, panned 10L and has Erosion, Saturator, Ego and Romb as effects. 
The rattle is modified with Corpus, GongAmp, Filterjam and ValhallaPlate. It's paned 30R.
I added the singing bowl and tingsha at the end. 
Singing bowl is split into two channels, one without effects, panned 25L 25R and the other panned 25L, pitch shifted down 24 semitones and processed with GrainSpace and Chorus-Ensemble.
Tingsha is just effected with a little bit of GrainSpace.

Warped

Fnubi is sound detail and melody driven music from Munich, Germany by Florian Lorenz.
Though sounding up to date digital the basis of the Fnubi-typical sounds most of the time is the result of unreproducible analogue one-takes - a counter-position to the paralysing hyper-optionalism in the creative musical process and in our society in general.
Another basic idea behind Fnubi is to keep all steps of the music creating process in one hand. This contains songwriting, instrumentation, recording, sound design and mixing.
After an explorational period of focusing on shaping sounds away from the instruments origin with FNUBI these elements are now brought into song context.
