I did this track "live" on my YouTube as an example of a set I prepared for an EMOM, using Goldenpond. That performance had a few mistakes and dud moments. It was also longer than I'd have likely played live.

So I've edited this down to remove the mistakes and make it a snappier 11 minutes or so.

A Diferença é a Música

The title, of course, is from Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. I don't know why but when I was listening to this (Goldenpond generated) riff, the phrase kept popping up in my head. Even though the two tracks have nothing to do with each other musically. (And, frankly, I'm more of a Prince man.)

Still, the phrase and this track crystallized into a "thing". So here it is.

The distorted bass is from Aleks Dolgy (https://www.fiverr.com/dolgyyy/be-your-session-rock-and-metal-bass-player#) I asked for something fairly metal. And he did a great job. But I then smothered it in distortion, and some echo and GrossBeat, so unfortunately you can't hear quite how great a job he did. This works for what I wanted though.

A new version of Goldenpond (http://gilbertlisterresearch.com/GoldenPond.html) is ready. And soon to be released.

One new feature is downward arpeggios. I knocked this together to play with them. And ended up liking it so much I decided to make it a single.

The cover is Dalle2's take on "Antikythera mechanism in the style of Giovanni Battista Piranesi"

Composición para oferenda n. 23  [Feat. Ingr_d] (Mentufacturer's Black Rose Refix)

Amazing sound that came out of randomizing the parameters on the Dream64 plugin http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?plugin=Dream_64&id=1757 ... then fed through a bunch of fx : distortion, flange, phase, squeeze etc. and finally Grossbeat (to half or third-speed it) and reverb.

The harmonic drone that comes in later is due to the Samsara Shruti http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?plugin=Shruti&id=2491 and the melodic figure at the end is from the GreenOak Crystal http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?plugin=Crystal&id=262 again using some randomly cross-breed sound.

Haecceitas because this really is unique one-off sound.

Feel free to download, sample, remix or reuse this any way you like. Tell me if you do, I'd love to hear it.

I've stopped paying for SoundCloud. So I have to remove the vast back catalogue of music I had here. So from now on I'm using this SoundCloud account just for new sketches, work-in-progress and social interactions with other artists.

You can find almost everything I currently do musically linked at http://www.synaesmedia.net

Very old sketches will be made public again when I decide how to rework or re-present them.
