Feel Good - Beatnerd

Abstract Philosophy

Recorded live dawless style with analog synth, drum machine and effects.

Sliced time

Slight break from my C tracks. Remixed original «Chords» track released a while back and made only using Elektron Cycles. Added drums/percussion + Moog Labyrinth to main track. BPM was changed from 80 to 124. Enjoy and check the original track through «buy» link.

I have an appreciation for a certain kind of Blues music. Since I can only make electronic music, this track right here is my humble and very bad attempt at this genre.

Electro Blues (My Heart Belongs To You) [Radio Edit]

I don't really do verse / chorus so this develops linearly with a final coda at tempo.

As ever, listen all the way through = good karma... thank you.

The original version of this track has a repeating minimalist drum loop. Fellow musician ElektRoman The Biomind suggested a version without the drums so here we are 'sans batterie'.

As ever, listen all the way through = good karma... thank you.

DAW: Ableton 12.

Contrast - sans batterie

Some uptempo for you. Middle section I was attempting a take on Remain in Light era Talking Heads for what it's worth.

As ever, listen all the way through = good karma... thank you.

Bass: Sandberg Elektra 4-string with flats through NI Guitar Rig.

Last Night I Dreamt

Rocktober day and track #16

Where are you
I know you're on your way
When you come back
I wish that you could stay

We long
We long for eachother
and we suffer
and we like it

We dream this pain to life
And let it make us whole
For everytime we break
For everytime we break
We mend eachother's soul

16 Come Back

Rocktober day/track 18!!

Mix will be better somewhere in the future.

Another linear composition, starts off with some 'bass of doom' tone around some angular chords, before stepping into some future funk and then an outro coda with some gentler progressions and a wee guitar solo. For the guitar geeks some chordal tapping at the very end of the track.

As ever, listen all the way through = good karma... thank you.

Drums: NI Karriem Riggins.
Bass: Sandberg Elektra 4-string with flats through NI Guitar Rig.

Anybody else prevented from accessing SC servers via VPN?  All of them are blocked for me.  This is the first time it happens to me in six or seven years of almost daily SoundCloud activity.  I use a VPN in SC because when I don't I get horrible delays that show up in many different ways.  The only explanation I have found is that somehow their security/identification system has flagged my IP address and introduced all kinds of speed bumps.  It makes the experience very unpleasant, irritating.

Why was Jonathan Bellot's account
[https://soundcloud.com/jonathanbellot] deleted?
...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
Sorry Joe. =(

sometime in 2025:
I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
