Ambient-esque

Another gmod map, another collection of tunes I used! This is both the ambient background stuff and also things like the dance music too.

Made this song for no reason, heavily inspired by Machinarium and its excellent soundtrack.

Hustle and Bustle of the Robot City

take a moment while you listen to be grateful for what you can be grateful for in the universe.

Universal Gratitude (Trio - Live)

Elden Ring but it's lofi beats

The Final Battle (lofi version (slowed + reverb))

As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls

Just finished my DIY build of the MTM Turing Machine Mk2, decided to put it through its paces running with the Bermuda osc and the Make Noise 0-coast. Gate pulses the trigger input of contour, with the CV going through a quantizer then into the 0-coast 1v/oct and the Bermuda. Clock input comes from the LP-1. Mutable Instruments Clouds is set at 100% wet with no pitch modification.

Equipment Used:
Make Noise 0-COAST
HEK Modular

Turing Machine Testing

This is just a quick jam I threw together this evening. Uses mostly a drone from the 0-COAST, the MS-20 with a nice slow envelope (both of which run into Clouds to do some pitch shifting). Also we've got a DX7 playing little plunky sounds.

Equipment Used:
Korg MS-20 Mini - Slow pad
Make Noise 0-COAST - Drone
Yamaha DX7 - EP sounds

Fostex 2016 Line Mixer - Mixer for modular
ART PRO VLA - Stereo compression for modular
Alesis Quadraverb - Stereo reverb for modular

Alesis 3630 - Compression for DX7
Roland SDE-2500 - Delay for DX7
Yamaha R-1000 - Reverb for DX7

Panasonic RAMSA DA-7 - Mixing
Alesis LX-20 - Multitracking
Behringer T1952 - Master comp/limiter/coloring

Akai EIE - PC interface
REAPER - Final recording

Laminar Ripples

Some relaxing stuff, playing around with the mutable instruments rings module. It's cool!

Equipment Used:
Mutable Instruments Rings, Clouds
MTM Turing Machine Mk II
MTM Mikrophonie Mk I
2hp Tune
Korg Volca Beats (clock provider)

Zoom MS70CDR - Lofi Delay
Boss RV6 Reverb - Shimmer

Rings

I got the office/studio set up again after I sold off quite a few things and wanted to give Maddie some more space. So I took out the two dual-tier stands and brought back the single triple-tier stand. For this, I just stood there in front of the stack of keyboards and improved this. Very fun.

Equipment Used:
Akai AX80 - Squareish Synth
Roland JX-3P - Brassy Pad
Yamaha DX7 - Bass Drone

Stack Flow

It gets lonely floating out in space

Equipment Used:
Roland JX-3P - Square
Roland MKS50 - Saw

Comm Array 527

Started jamuary, so I wanted to include my newly repaired multitrak! I think I'll get the ROM mod for it and see if I want to sell it off now that it's repaired or if I want to keep it. Gotta figure out a few more glitches and bugs first.

equipment used:
roland tr707 - drums
behringer model d - bass
sequential circuits multitrak - brassy arp
roland jx3p - first pad
roland jd-800 - second pad
korg ms-20 mini - little square bloops

squarp pyramid mk2 - sequencing

janjam1 - Simplebreak

I wanted to try something faster and more hectic, so I thought I'd do what I thought a jungle track might sound like, cause I'm never 100% sure exactly what jungle is. Also I don't like using sampled loops, so I make my own out of individual drum samples. Or rather, I sequence my own loops and mess with those.

equipment used:
roland s550 - main sampled drums
behringer model d - distorted bass line
roland tr707 - hats and ride
roland jd800 - percussive bass sounds
korg ms-20 - weird crackly bits
roland mks50 - funky weird arps left ear
yamaha tx81z - other funky weird arps right ear

janjam2 - Jungle

I was really busy trying to get my PC to actually turn on the other night, so I missed out on jamuary. Here's a quick little drone I made with the behringer model d and an avalanche run.

Bloud

Did some crosspatching between the ms20 and behri  d

Finally had the smallest amount of energy to make some music, so here's my little jam for today.

2 - a since-dead tree stood

Got in my wedge the other day, and decided to do a little coffee table jam. 

VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws0ivjh5qiY

equipment used:
korg monologue - bass/sequencing
arturia drumbrute impact - drums/clock
behringer deepmind12 - chords
alesis wedge - master reverb send
radio shack mx1000 - drum mixing/saturation
boss bx800 - master mix/effects send
tascam 424 mk1 - tape multitracking

Montage AfxBass [dm12 mono dbi] 135

Wanted to test out my DigDugDIY Purple Rain compressor, so I ran the Roland TR-8 through it into my old Radio Shack MX1000 line mixer. Kawai K1m handles other synth sounds, sequenced by the Squarp Pyramid. That also goes into the MX1000.

Then that all goes out to the Behringer Model D for filtering, and then that goes into the Alesis Wedge for splitting the signal into stereo. Recorded to tape on my Tascam 424 mk1.

Video coming soon!

My first LoFi Chill Hop track is a cover of one of my favourite songs in video games - Aerith's Theme from Final Fantasy VII and the remake is just around the corner..

Since I'm in the process of moving my studio to my new place, music production has been somewhat slow but I haven't let it stop me, it seems I can still make LoFi stuff through my headphones until I get my studio acoustically treated. At least for now I can focus on songwriting and then move on to the technical stuff in the coming weeks :)

Tone Twilight Zone

Alright, here's some actually good house. That last one is kinda piss poor, so have some beefier kicks and snares courtesy of the Tama Techstar TS-306
! Rest of perx is RX5, bass is neutron and chords are model D just like the last. Model D through Ibanez DM-1000 digital delay. Neato!

I don't know how to follow up Grit, so here's just a little something I made.

Stay Blue

Heyyyy, it finally came in! Say hello to the MXR 185 drum computer, a fantastic little drum machine from the early 80s with an 8-bit punch. It's got a performance mixer, it's got live global drum tuning, it DOESN'T have MIDI, wowowow!

Anyways, I've got it spitting clicks out to the modular where the pulses get signal boosted to trigger manther's sequencer clock and also microfreak's sequencer clock as well. That seemed remarkably stable and kept everything nice and tight.

Obviously, manther is on bass and goes through the Tascam GS-30 guitar cab sim. Then the microfreak goes through the Dreadbox Hypnosis after the eurorack (with some more delay from the Blue Lantern stereo delay). Overall, not my most complicated track but probably one of the most fun I've had in a while. That dedicated performance mixer is just amazing, it's really making me miss my TR-707 that I never got a chance to send out for repairs before the quarantine hit. Ah well, soon I'll have the two of them playing off each other for an infinite well of sounds from house to techno to synthwave. Great!
