A chronological voyage through my favourite things I've made in the last few months since beginning this journey into electronic music.

It's certainly a pretty eclectic mix of weirdness but variety is indeed the spice of life.

Loop's Chronological Journey Of Ever-Increasing Insanity

My personal favourite thing I've made on the OP-1 even if it is loose, hence the name.

I basically had to layer live takes one by one to make this work.

It's a cute Yoshi's Island kind of lullaby vibe.

The Loosey Goosey

Another sample jam track.

Just trying to get the hang of live mixing tracks and playing samples live.

At some point I will go back and actually produce these as tracks with a structure and some editing.

I would like to be able to do effects, mute groups and live sampling at the same time but I don't know how to perform such wizardry on the OP-Z at this time.

Just Keep Swimming

OK so it technically never touched a DAW (unless you count Audacity) but like... it's a Son Montuno programmed electronically so my pun is awesome.

Son-In-DAW

A little jam whipped up between sessions driving the uber.

Slinkstep

First time recording the Deluge straight to its internal storage.

Rough attempt at a live drone-based song. 

I'll definitely have another pass at it when I have a better idea how this thing works. Very much coming to grips with it.

Drone Strike

A quarantune made from the infamous "China is asshoe" guy as interview by Avi Yemini.

China Is Asshoe

Machine Elves

80s Driving Montage

Boots On The Ground - Feet In The Air

An experiment with the DNA engine on the OP-1 which is capable of making some really out there noises. 

No post-processing just straight from the OP-1 at this stage.

They Can't All Be Winners

First successful attempt at laying something down without any catastrophic fuckups but certainly lots of mistakes were made and I'm hoping by uploading this and then listening back to it I'll be suitably motivated to take more passes at it in the coming days.

Frontsies On The Strugglebus

OP-1 jam.

Simple stacked loops.
Bass & Drums = 2 Bars
Keys = 4 Bars
Filter Sweep = 6 Bars

Live take of Flute with inordinate amounts of delay over the top.

The Flute Of Repentance

Scented Candle

Found a nice arpeggiating patch in the Boards of Deluge that I improvised a little 64 bar sequence into.

I then played it back and added some drums.

I've left all the mistakes in and haven't bothered to tidy it up in any way as it's just a little throwaway thing that I'll likely incorporate versions of into a live show in the future.

The Well-Tempered Deluge

Shamayim

A little tribute to my jazz banjo playing Uncle Norm who was known for being the Smiling Banjo Man.

Whipped up in about 10 minutes so is definitely a speedtune. 
No sequencer used and no edits.

Smilin' Norm

The first of many tracks I hope to write at the Windy Point lookout. 

Jammed this in my car from scratch livelooping the parts in then did a recording using Resample Function as I foolishly hadn't brought my H6.

Windy Point

A Bembe (meaning Blade) is an Afro 6/8 rhythm which is good.

This is a little backing track I whipped up and attempted to blow over with OP-1's tiny whackass keyboard.

Bembe Busking Burning Brightly Bringing Beach Babes @ Brighton

Sunrise Over Happy Mushrooms

A little jam that came out of experimenting with some different synth engines, effects and LFO parameters.

A couple of things went wrong with it but I decided to keep it anyway.

Tape playback +5% and a fadeout added in Audacity.

Sanctus Germanus

All tracks are improvised live takes unless otherwise noted.
