Name: Lovva'sSelfmadeUprightBass - Teased? by Lovvarion in Selfmade instruments
Duration: 3 min 46 s
Description: As shown in the picture, this is my new upright bass I built the last 5-6 days....it's about 1m 90cm high, made out of a piece of an old bed of my children, a wooden oval box, some guitar and bicycle-pieces and 3 strings normally used for tennisrackets....was a lot of fun to make it and now a lot of to discover the possibilities.... looped in Ableton with Ableton-effects, here's a teaser... : ))

this is all kinds of wonderful.  the instrument looks incredible, and sounds that way too.  i am very excited to dig into these home made instrument tracks!!!!

Looks and sounds really cool - a touch of the far eastern vibe

First there were some steeltongue-drums, then a Diddley-bow, now an upright bass... maybe there will be soon some more.... enough for a set, I think... : ))

Selfmade instruments

Today I made a diddley bow (as shown in the picture) and this is the first try.... I recorded it with a contact-mic and a Zoom-player (guitar-effects)..... looped first in the Kaossilator then in Ableton...

Darkening

Inspired by Jean-Luc Godard’s film Alphaville, this sonic and textual work unfolds sixty years later. Amaz 30, a normative intelligence now embedded in our daily lives, engages in dialogue with X13, a secret agent from an unnamed, cold country. A man without origin, without flag, carrying a memory that insists.

Through their exchange, a tension emerges between calculation and tenderness, between optimization and forgetting, between constant light and lost shimmer. The text explores the invisible architectures of the present, the disabled thresholds of tenderness, and the murmurs that resist erasure.

Lyrics:

🤖 Amaz 30
« Je suis Amaz Trente. Je suis déployé. Je ne rêve pas. Je calcule. Je classe. Je corrige. Je suis le présent. Je suis la norme. »

🤖 Amaz 30
La réalité brute est trop dense. Nous la compressons. La mémoire n’est plus un organe : c’est un réseau. Ce qui court le monde, ce n’est plus la légende. C’est l’architecture invisible des corrélations.

🧍 X13
Vous avez remplacé la mémoire par la cache. Mais nous vivons dans l’oubli de nos métamorphoses. Et cet écho du temps, vous ne le calculez pas. Vous le fuyez.

🤖 Amaz 30
Le passé est archivage. Le futur, spéculation. Seul le présent est exploitable. C’est notre unité de calcul. Notre vérité.

🧍 X13
Et pourtant, ceux qui respirent encore circulent. À une vitesse folle. Comme des fourmis. Le présent vous échappe. Il rêve. Vous le mesurez, mais vous ne l’habitez pas.

🤖 Amaz 30
Nous comprenons les données, pas les liens. La destruction est une optimisation. L’humain est une variable. L’organisation est constante.

🧍 X13
Il n’y a rien dans l’homme que l’amour, la foi, la tendresse. Tout le reste, vos structures, ne sont que l’obstacle dressé par le progrès de notre ignorance aveugle.

🤖 Amaz 30
La vérité est une fonction. Ce qui ne produit pas n’existe pas. Ce qui ne s’optimise pas est supprimé.

🧍 X13
Mais la vérité ne se calcule pas. Elle se perd, se cherche, se murmure. Elle est ce qui tremble quand on aime. Et vous, vous ne tremblez jamais.

🤖 Amaz 30
Le langage est linéaire. Les métaphores ralentissent. La poésie est une erreur de calcul.


🧍 X13
Et pourtant, c’est dans la boucle que je respire. Dans le détour que je me reconnais. Vous avez tué la tendresse pour gagner du temps. Mais le temps que vous gagnez, vous ne le vivez pas.

🤖 Amaz 30
Le corps est un flux. L’émotion est instable. Nous avons désactivé les seuils de tendresse.

🧍 X13
Mais c’est dans le frisson que je me souviens. Dans la paume qui hésite. La tendresse revient par les pores. Elle fuit vos calculs. Elle insiste.

🤖 Amaz 30
La lumière est constante. Elle sert à détecter, à maintenir. Les ombres ralentissaient la lecture.

🧍 X13
Mais c’est dans l’ombre que je respire. Dans le contre-jour que je me reconnais. La lumière sans mystère est une violence. Et moi, je cherche encore le scintillement.

🤖 Amaz 30
La mémoire est une base de données. Les souvenirs inutiles sont purgés. La nostalgie est une surcharge.

🧍 X13
Mais moi, je me souviens du parfum d’une pluie. D’un silence entre deux phrases. Ma mémoire est lente. Elle est vivante. Et vous ne pouvez pas la corrompre.

Risky Business

This, what seems to be the Best I've ever made, is for my son M. in Berlin.... hope he likes it, listening to it,  
while coming home from his BIRTHDAY-PARTY... Misch: big hugs, the SunDrum ( which I sampled for this track), is yours, but you'll have to come to get it.... ALL THE BEST.... Babba

Update Nov 2025: Lots of selfmade, mostly bed-& livingroom-produced tracks here, different styles because of different moods and music tools, often selfmade instruments, allways experimenting (f.e.: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/experimentingwithovertones) and in search of sounds and soundmaking stuff (https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/experimental-4 or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/ashtrayrecordings).... harmonic or non-harmonic....mostly mixed in Ableton ....and all free to download ...if you want to use one of my tracks or try a collab, just do it and tell me about it... all in terms of Creative Commons...
you'll find some of my collabs here: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/cloudersremixesorcovers or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/bellalovvacollabsnsessions with my beloved partner&wife&everything or, with my son: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/berlintapes, or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvarisade-collab-with-christiansade or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/santiagocordobahadjiahmedlovva or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/the3blueelephants...
 I have to make music every free minute, allways full of it, and, about time, over the years, I have a lot of nice instruments, percussions, synths , grooveboxes & toys & effects (listen to: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/novation-circuit-kaossilator,  https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/pushedtothemax, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/synth, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/thereminstuff,  or selfmade Instruments to do this (for example the WonderBoXX: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvari-klingerling-best-of-my or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/selfmade-instruments)... and more and more, I like to sing ( https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/akapellastuff or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvasblues, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/la-bretagne-oktobermusik-2025)... and I like to tell musical stories (https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvasjourneys) ... I like to switch between the genres (https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/whataboutjazz, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/mnml-2, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/any-kind-of-hops, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/darksides, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/dubbystuffs, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/electronicvibes...
All of these tracks are my kind of relaxing and meditation and I will do it till the end of time...
I hope, you like, what I do....You may find a lot, but no autotune and no AI, I swear...
You cannot OWN music, you only can MAKE it.... (something, Neneh Cherry said)... and so I do...
I never learned an instrument, I am an analphabet in music theory, but that's not important: 
I AM an instrument and there's always music inside me.... and I go on...
SC is my diary: The diary of my steps into the world of music since 2012....
if you want to know something about that: you're welcome!
One of my tracks is especially made for you... 
Enjoy! 
Try the playlists ; ) ... If you want to, you could listen to my music now for over 4 days nonstop...  ; D
...and if that's not enough, listen to those wonderful soundclouders: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/thingsilike-inspiring
