Name: voice of reason by half/byte in Blue Triangles
Duration: 4 min 56 s
Description: Just a dubtechno experiment. The voiceover is more or less a placeholder with a lot of blabbering that will hopefully replace with me having something to say soon.

ever since listening to the thinner (ye olde netlabel) releases, dub house / dub techno was one of my favourite genres. I am still a learner, and this album (sometimes more clearly, sometimes not) shows my journey, with "reeboatgnist" being from around 2000 and "Just to quickly follow up" being one of the latest from 2018. I have been focusing on live performing and live streaming which is why there's no recent release in this album.

If you want to support me and my music, and you want to posess remastered, high quality copies of the tracks, I'm selling this Album on Bandcamp:

JSConf 2021 Official Soundtrack

Born out of some improvisation with my Korg Montron combo, an original Monotron and a Monotron Delay. The basedrum you hear (and the noisy hihat-ish sound in the background, which is just a filtered version of the original) is the filter of the Monotron self oscillating, fed through the Monotron Delay and then recorded and looped in ableton.

The grit of the Monotron Delay gives the whole thing a lot of character, quite typical for dub techno beats.

Originally the thing (as it was an LFO fed filter sweep) was straight four to the floor, but I decided that this was not what I had in mind and I built a drum rack out of different parts of the original beat filtered to the desired frequency range.

The dub techno stab is a sampled single shot played with the Monotron (also fed through the delay, which creates these weird off beat sounds) turned into a proper stab using simpler, an auto filter, a ping pong delay and a reverb (and some EQ for good measure).

The bass sound uses an Ableton Simpler with the exact same sample looped and filtered.

The synth effects are pure Monotron Delay, freely recorded and then somewhat chopped up and put into place.

no silver bullet (Weeklybeats #13)

1984

"For me, ambient music is less about a destination and more about the journey. It's the space between notes where the real story unfolds, inviting the listener to create their own narrative. In a world that's often loud and chaotic, it offers a quiet place. It's a reminder that beauty can be found in stillness, and that sometimes, the most profound experiences are the most subtle." - @substak

Kleptomentalist

A dub jam, performed live using Novation Circuit, Monostation, Bass Station 2, Peak, Nord Electro 5D, Boss RE-201 Space Echo and controlled using a Novation SL MkIII.  Recorded direct to 2-track.

DUB - 03.2019 - V1.0 (Live jam)

After listening to the tune again, I found it to be one of the best pieces of music I ever created - And that's why I wanted it to be on soundcloud.

I made this tune around 2000 in Heidelberg (stayed there for 6 months on an internship).

(This track is now part of my "Blue Triangles" album available on bandcamp.)

PARADOX @ HAMBURGER HAFEN VERNISSAGE (2015)

Beginning in the Summer of 2012 with his Low End Theory guest spots, DJ Shadow's "All Basses Covered" set has morphed and evolved to incorporate as many different contemporary genres of urban and electronic music as possible. From hardcore rap to footwork and juke and beyond, Shadow has combed the web to curate seamless and dexterous blends of the most progressive sounds bubbling up from the underground.  'Too hard?' 'Too future?' Or just too raw? As always, DJ Shadow has provoked crucial flashpoints of discussion about the discipline of DJ'ing that have defined our turbulent times.  -DJShadow.com Team
