Great composition, sounds great, love that buzzy fizzy bass underneath. Lovely progression.

This is a very warm tuning. Bright yellows and oranges -- and I'm not normally synesthetic.

My Mind Is Twelve Bells - Apartment House

This is a study of a method of generating chords from a single sine wave. Each note of a random melody gets divided into 8 new tones, comprising the first 8 undertones of that note. Plus a bunch of other modulation and stuff to make it sound good (at least to my ears). This is a recording of one "performance" of the patch, and is not edited or post-processed in any way. Made in VCVRack; not my first patch, but my first decent patch starting from scratch.

You can get this patch at https://patchstorage.com/stations-of-the-tide/ if you want to try it yourself, or make it into something else. Click the Run button on Clockd to get it started.

The title comes from Michael Swanwick's novel of the same name.

SenSen - Full Tied v2

This weekend's assignment was to make something that's not using the standard A = 440 Hz, equal temperament tuning. In the Disquiet Slack workspace, someone shared a tuning used by Terry Riley on his album Shri Camel. I took that and used Bitwig's built in micro-pitch functions to tune some synths to that. To my shoddy ears the tuning is pretty subtle! Maybe not to yours.
