Elektron Rytm

gm_afterhours OST

Alright, we've got a little jam going on! This time I'm trying out my weird dual camera set-up for VHS stuff in the studio. It works surprisingly well! Check the video out if you like fun VHS looks.

Time Travel

Haven't done any music for a few days, so figured I'd make a quick little jam on the rytm and td-3/modular combo. Getting a lot of mileage out of the TD-3 for gate/cv/sound and the like.

Nothing too special, but I like this track. It's nice!

As Of Yet

So, wanted to make something to contribute to the synths yo discord album thing, so have whatever this mess is!

There's me speaking in there somewhere, but it's just more noise. Which is probably for the best lol.

This is mostly the Elektron Rytm with way too much drive, then plaits doing some whacky modulaty bullshit as well.

Alright! Time for a fun little jam, this time breaking in the manther. I've got it as the MIDI master and it's been a breeze so far. Absolutely fantastic little synth, and the newer firmware versions definitely fix a lot of stuff that was a bit wonk with the original. Gotta love some nice rubbery synth sounds!

The Manther is driving the eurorack stuff, this time doing some funky lorentz attractor simulation stuff with the o_C, and that in turn modulates parameters on Plaits to great effect. You get these bizarre totally out of nowhere chords that just sweep through the mix, absolutely chaotic!

I've also got plaits going through a pair of VCAs to do some cool gating stuff along with contour for some envelope action.

So, this is more Manther x Eurorack x Rytm stuff! This time, the Rytm's got some weird timing stuff going on that's kinda shuffling parts of the beat around in a neat way. Manther is running it's own sequence and acting as master clock, and Manther is also sequencing Plaits directly while providing gate to Rings and clock to Marbles. Then o_C is in Ping Pong mode to provide CV for altering parts of Plaits, Rings, and Clouds. MIR is used for the gating effect that follows the two right-most envelopes in Contour. Marbles just sends out CV and trigs to a few places like Contour and Plaits.


This was all recorded down to my Tascam 246 and processed in REAPER. Recorded on Maxell C60 type II tapes at high speed.

Plate Discharge

Just messing around with some stuff on the rytm and manther combo again. I really like how this combo has been sounding, definitely super happy I took the manther plunge now.

Alpha - 10

Alright! Now we've got a track going, this is the finished version of what I started yesterday. Big difference is the GS-30 guitar amp simulator from Tascam, which I put on the Manther for that sweet crunch. It's quite the nice little crunchbox, gives some good life to stuff.

Anyways, this features some samples from Mike Huckabee's down under pack on his site. Figured it's probably the best way to remember the guy, do some pretty chill house with those amazing Wave chords he had.

This one is a doozie, and I've got a multicam'd video to boot! So, it's me on tenor sax, p-bass, and synths/drum machines. I've got the MXR 185 paired with the RD-8 (TR-808 clone) for some serious 80s vibes, and then we've got a whole bunch of stuff either self-sequenced (MS-101 and JX-3P), or live played (DW-8000 noise sweeps).

Check the video out if you get a chance! It's really neato. I may go in depth on how I recorded this tomorrow if I get a chance, it's a little interesting.

I got an octatrack! I've got it in a stand with my Rytm so that I can feed the rytm's outs into the octa AB input for live sampling and stuff. Plus that frees up another two channels on the 246, so I can could combine this all with the modular or something to that effect hopefully.

But yeah, it's some really limited Octatrack stuff, but I literally just got it this afternoon and I didn't start till like 11 and it's only 2 so ehhhh

Radust

Doing some more wonky stuff, this is some weirdly sinister sounding house. Kinda appropriate for the season, eh?

Haus

Testing stuff in the studio. Got a vid of this on the youtubes.

I'm back bitches!

I post a lot of music here, sometimes slightly under-done stuff. Check back every now and then if you like a track, cause there's a good chance that a day after I put it up I will have already replaced the original file lol.
