Drenalyn - Equinox (TPC260)

Does it not seem odd to you that half of the ruling class has been getting half of the population to fixate on identity politics while the other half has been getting half the population increasingly panicked about "wokeness"? Does it not seem a little too convenient how all the mainstream right-wing politicians are making anti-wokeism a major part of their platforms, how all the mainstream right-wing pundits are doing everything they can to make their audiences more panicked about how "woke" everything is getting, and how you've got Elon Musk talking about "the woke mind virus" in exactly the same way more liberal-aligned oligarchs champion social justice issues?

This is because both anti-wokeism and identity politics serve the same establishment agendas, entirely by design. The more people are fixated on the mainstream culture war, the less likely they are to decide they want to do things like defund the Pentagon or take back everything the rich have stolen from them. Time you're spending yelling at the other side of the cultural divide is time you're not spending eating your landlord as God and nature intended.

The Ruling Class Promotes Identity Politics And 'Anti-Wokeism' For The Exact Same Reasons

My submission for the March 2023 Sim Selection monthly challenge of Benn Jordan's discord community.

Theme: Dice
Keywords: thirsty, five
Optional Challenge: Write the hidden bonus track for your favorite album. Dig deep and really think about what 'favorite' means to you.

My direction was to create an electronic track featuring drone, but also elements in the style of loscil. This track was created with my modular system, as well as electric guitar and drone elements from Ableton Live.

The single dumbest thing the US-centralized empire asks us to believe is that the military encirclement of its top two geopolitical rivals is a defensive action, rather than an act of extreme aggression.

The Single Dumbest Thing The Empire Asks Us To Believe

This is my reponse to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge. I'm getting my head around some of the potentialities of Logic Pro X and was using some of the smart controls to create this.

bird polyphony (naviarhaiku495)

60bpmb • G# /  Ab

A dubby modular type composition using a Dannysound En-129 TZFM VCO as the a mid-freq synth voice, sequenced/performed by the Moog Grandmother arpeggiator. There were some filter pings from Serge Variable Q VCF as a rhythmic element.

Then I stumbled into a strangely interesting formant-y bass sound by manipulating Ableton's Warp settings and using M4L 'Envelope Midi' to shape the filter controlling it. The drums are one-hits sampled from modular and then resampled + rechopped using Twisted Wave and Ableton, and programmed with Drum Rack.

Transient Melter • 60bpm [Disquiet 0609]

Different approaches - 'alternate routes' - for this Disquiet Junto contribution include creating a loop in FL Studio (which I rarely use and I also rarely use a straight continuously looping loop), using the wonderful apesoft iVCS3 iPad app for the mad whistling barking Synthi track (rather than the also-but-differently-wonderful Arturia plugin), and making good use of the amazing MeldaProduction MMorph (which I should definitely use more) ... The results are beautifully unusuaL, though, if a little crazy ... hope you can still enjoy!

One aspect of the track I contributed last week was using multiple sounds to create varying rhythmic patterns. This week's track produces changing rhythms using a single sound with inbuilt threefold delay.
