Quite chaotic but still some kind of groove. I did put a limiter on it.

Norbert's Slide

This one took more time to finish because I discovered the joy of the second take. I ended up deleting and redoing a lot. Eventually I did the opposite of what I was doing before, so I used the ER-1 for rythm and the volca for melodies (wink). Still very chaotic but I'm seeing something.

Rain On Concrete

Another attempt at using the Volca Drum for melody, or should I say glitch. Let's just say it's a learning process. I liked the drum parts. Art by Camille Feldmann on YT @camillefeldmann2835

Chaotic Intervention

ER-1 + Volca Drum + Texture Lab  The Texture Lab is used as an effect unit on the ER-1. I don't think I'll need a distortion pedal after all.

Simple Summoning For Week Days

ER-1 + Volca Drum + Texture Lab. Getting around to understand how to use the Texture Lab. It takes ages to program but it's very satisfying. I realized just before recording I could also play the keyboard in real time but I didn't have time before the end of the track. Probably for the best because I am not a keyboard player. I actually set a timer so I don't drift into a jam.

Comfort Mechanism

ER-1, Volca Drum, Texture Lab. Messing around with effects on Openshot. I used a long LFO on the texture lab over 96 steps. The ER-1 is on 48 steps and the volca 16 and 12. I tried different legato settings on the texture lab towards the end.

Reduction Orchestra

ER-1 , Volca Drum, Texture Lab. Still having fun with lo-fi effects on Openshot.  On the korgs I just mute pads off and on, except for one kick rework on the volca. On the texture lab I use mostly LFOs and switch between three different sequences. The LFOs are set on fractions of the tempo. This track is more tame, but I still don't know for sure how to label it.

4AM Memory

ER-1, Volca Drum + Texture Lab. I made this one based on the feedback I got at the tiny and cosy festival Libations Forestières, in France. I wanted to do something more danceable. I kept a steady bass on the ER-1 and stripped the polyrythms  on the Volca. On The Texture Lab, I played with one chord instead of three. Somehow ended up sounding dubby. The kick is weird because I forgot I had a randomiser on the top end on the Volca. It's take number too many so I kept it anyway. Visual effects from Openshot.

Approximate Flower

ER-1, Volca Drum, Texture Lab 
I went back to improvising more instead of trying to control recording sessions. Some mistakes and accidents here and there. Figuring out how to capture as much bass a possible without clipping. On the texture lab I went back to a three chords pattern I had sketched and kept it as it is, instead of adding a lot of notes. 

Faustian Operator (first call)

Volca Drum, Korg ER-1, Texture Lab. Recorded on an old Zoom. The texture lab gives a lot of intensity but it's not easy to know what it's doing. There are two chords on this track and the timing is slowed down, then the lfo’s give the rhythm.

Primitive Cloud

Korg ER-1, Volca Drum, Texture Lab. I used variations of step lengths on the Texture Lab. On the Electribe I'm learning how to play with the ring resonator on the feedback in the audio in. On the Volca I used the randomizer on pattern and layer.
