Rouge Red Rot

October Turtle challenge hosted by Beetlecrab.audio's Discord community
Theme:
Pulsating rhythms without classical/electronic drum sounds, welcome Temperas Euclidean!

No 808s, no 909s, no Linn drums, no snares or hi-hats sneaking in… Instead, we’ll build grooves out of anything but the usual suspects.

Use noises, plucking sounds, beeps, interference noises, pitch envelopes, resonance sounds, or other sounds that can help you feed a rhythm-driving track. Euclidean are welcome, but the only rule is: if it reminds you of a classic drum machine, leave it out.

The kick has been synthesised with the tempera using the sample of a cello-like sound. All is a matter of animating the volume and a filter cutoff. To push the concept, I used the step modulator to draw a sharp decaying envelope. Is this cheating ? maybe...

Take care!

Rouge Red Rot (TURTLE CHALLENGE)

I've been producing music for a while but never put it online before. I'll be adding tracks every few days, starting with the older material first... it's a schitzo mixture of apocalyptic metal, cosmic horror and introspective real life stuff across a variety of music genres and styles
