Misskndkt R3patch

YAY! another r3 patch. a little experiment with 2 timbres and alternating lfos... as well as dual mod sequences to control volume on timbre 2 and pitch on timbre 1... oh and theres a latched arpeggiator.... i really should have just called it the kitchen sink patch... but i digress

another piano improv recorded with a MXL990 USBmic this time (the buffers crackle a little in the beginning but i think it sounds a ton better than the previous ones)... run through a touch of audio damages EoS reverb to kill the hiss...

Piano improv 2

got a moog little phatty recently,... figured id post a little screwing around.
oh its run through the art effects proccesor as well as the lexicon mx400... good times

Moog filter ride

a little experiment using envelope followers to control effects parameters based on notes.
sounds sources: tx81z through my ART fxr processor + R3 with not additional effects (the string sounding bits in the background) - and a touch of Eos reverb for good measure. i tried to make it as improvised as possible but it would up being around 32 bars of recorded midi data...
a really simple FM piano patch always sparks tons of ideas


HexaChrom improv

i'm not entirely sure how i feel about the way this one turned out. can't all be gems i suppose. :)

consortion hammer

this is probably a bit too long without a change or 2

eyes bursting within my skull

nice of you to join us

This is one of those things where I experiment and sketch a thing out in a couple of hours and then ultimately don’t do anything with it. I considered adding some vocals but that would make it a bit more industrialized metal than I might be ready for. Regardless it was an interesting experiment. 

In case you are curious: The bass signal chain is EHX big muff Pi > DOD Bass Flanger FX72 > EHX Super ego > Boss Hypermetal. The drum bits are the Elektron machinedrum run through audio damage Grind with a little EQ / compression for fun. Oh, and the drone bits are the bass part pitched, stretched and layered a few times. It’s dark in here.

Concrete Beats and Bass

wherein i run a test pattern through what i have dubbed the golden effects chain. No im not telling you what it is. ;)

the Machinedrum meets the golden efx chain

Machinedrum climbs the holy mountain

me. (improvising)
    a contact mic. 
    and a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalimba">kalimba</a> run through the inputs/effects on the wavestation. 

    I'll probably wind up chopping this into something useful... 
    but as this is about the third or fourth one I've done, 
    in as many days
    I figured I'd share it.
