Short clip of a techno track I've been noodling on. I've been particularly focused on getting the rumble right. This is my first attempt at it.

Techno #1

A mellow, down-tempo acid jam with the TB-03, TR-06, Matriarch, and Mother 32. The Blue Sky and Space Echo RE-201 providing the reverb and delay.

Time spent away

After learning about Vuza Canons (maximally repeating, non-periodic rhythmic canons) I thought I'd tried composing something with them. 

This particular Vuza canon spans 6 bars in 12/4 for a total of 72 notes per repetition using 6 voices. Since we have twelves already, I thought it would be fun to try to work through all twelve notes in the chromatic scale as well. Each voice introduces the same rhythmic motif, first repeating C using that rhythm, then the next voice introduces the same rhythm a fifth up in G, and so on until the 6 voice in B. 

As the canon moves back to repeating the first it shifts up a semitone to C# and repeats the rising fifths again thereby repeating the over all 72 notes of the canon a total of 12 times to arrive back at C in the first voice.

I used the Moog Matriarch as the main voice for the canon, running through a Space Echo RE-201. The Moog Mother 32 is playing the root note on bass as each new voice in the canon is introduced. The breakbeat was added and arranged in Ableton.

Vuza Canon Breakbeat

A fun and fast track I made over Labor Day weekend. I started out trying to make something more synthwave-y, but ended up with a kinda trance-y track instead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Moog Matriarch and Mother-32 for arp and bass, and Logic's 808 kit for percussion.

Too Hot To Run

If you chuck enough bassline synths at a thing with some reverb it will probably be ok

SquelchyRoots

A proper dub rethink of 'New Years Day'. Bassline inspired by Adam Clayton; solo loosely inspired by Edge; featuring the voices of Lech Walesa and the good people of Lexington. I realised it's a relevant protest song, now more than ever.
Lech: 'We at last have self-governing trade unions. We have the right to strike.'

New Years Dub

Mostly modular instrumental synth noodling.
