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

Crosstalk

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

janjam5 - Sneak

Ghosts

Playstart

Got my lep multicassa in today, it's super cool. Very small but capable box! It's running as a master clock, then triggering the neutron via one of the outs.

Add some distortion, a little verb and sidechain to the neutron, bam. Noisey.

multidist

Decided to do a little experiment with the neutron and multicassa. Created a feedback loop in the neutron, patched in the multicassa through the input on the back. Had control over feedback amount via one of the attenuators. Then played with a snappy high-repeat delay to create some neat textures.

Oh, warning, it's loud.

So loud it crashed my ozone, hence the name lol.



Hey btw, I noticed there's some weird high-pitched sound going on. Just download the track, cause it's not in the wav.

crash

Got the studio put back together again, but there's a few glitches to diagnose in cabling and such. For now, here's another multicassa into neutron jam.

Really liking this combo for just insane, crunchy, slowly evolving jams.

insanity

Doing some more experimentally sounds and slightly less chaotic soundscapes today.

Typical multi cassa into neutron

DANCE I - Stamervia

Another one, trying to figure out serious noise/interference/weirdness issues. There was some odd DC offset in the right channel on the last recording. I think it's the patchbay, maybe something is loose and causing grounding issues.

DANCE II - Sicialites

Just another weird droney thing with the multicassa and neutron.

DANCE III - Tative

Testing out midi and audio routings, also making sure the mixes are relatively noise-free. So far so good, after some kinks.

equipment used:
behri neutron - paraphonic patch
drumbrute impact - drums
behri model d - bass

squarp pyramid mk2 - sequencing

janjam14 - Leaves

weird track here, just kinda felt like something like this. Haven't finished plugging in the otari, so no tapor wave today. Oh well, I'll do it next time. This is quite crunchy in the mean time.

equipment used:
roland jd800 - chords
roland tr-707 - drums
behri neutron - arp brass
behri model d - bass

janjam15 - Mall

Another droney janjam, not feeling super hot today so wanted to unwind with some fun droney shit.

Oh, multicassa into neutron into avalanche run as per usual.

DANCE VI - Cornate

Another chilled out neutron/multicassa jam

DANCE IV - Klinsupped

lots of resonance in here, just kinda an improv weird patch jam I had going, with just the neutron and multicassa as per usual, no sequencing or nuttin.

external

I was feeling nostalgic for some beats I made a few years ago when I was first getting started, so I tried making something similar here. Also, snow day so yay.

equipment used:
roland s550 - drums
roland jx3p - pad
roland jd800 - chimes
roland mks50 - arp
behri neutron/model d - bass

janjam19 - Snowedin

Having some fun knocking around the s550 sample library I built up the other day. Just some more dusty jim jams.

equipment used:
roland s550 - drums
roland jd800 - bass
roland mks50 - arp
roland jx3p - pad
arturia drumbrute impact - extra kick
behri neutron - lead

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.
