Vapor

I hate using my laptop for anything musical. This demo is shitty, maybe I can fix that.

I don't own the samples, I just wanted to make something.

Am I considered cool now that I did vaporwave?

vaporwave?

I finally made something I liked, took me forever and a day. Recorded this just in one night to blow off some steam. Pretty minimal mastering, and very crunchy still so gotta round off some of the clippy bits.

Sunset Boulevard

Just a little chill jam I made on my eurorack in the trailer at the camp site. Recorded to my Tascam 424.

Little music video I made with my VHS equipment here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zagMvdqHMXk&feature=youtu.be

I recorded an okay track to the otari and slowed it down by half on the tape deck. it sounds a lot better this way, trust me.

Procession

Another vapory track, on a roll tonight apparently

Visitation

Even more vapor stuff, this one is pretty chill. Actually most of them are pretty chill, but I ended up liking this one a fair bit.

It sounds like absolute ass until you throw a shitty compressor on the whole master bus, then pump the ever loving shit out of that and the limiter. Mmmmmm, transistor abuse.

Lounge Anticipation

A little 3/4 ballady sound here, enjoying all this vaporwavey stuff.

Recorded to Otari MX5050 Mk3-8, then slowed down on the reel.

Acceptance

yo yo yo, just got my hr16 fixed and hooked it up to the midi grid over here. Works pretty well, but the buttons are fucked, so that's irritating. Wanted to do something kinda vapory using the tape technique I've been doing, got some good results. The reverb comes from a Midiverb 2 I just got the other day, and then gets slammed by a dbx166 compressor.

lonely inbetween

I wanted to do some sampling for basically the first time aside from just loading up a bunch of drum samples. So I grabbed a tune from those old kmart tapes and just messed around a bit with it. Not too bad!

Sequencing - Yamaha QY-700
Sampling - Roland S-550
Recording - Fostex Model 280

「ｌｏｓｔ ｉｎ ｔｈｅ Ｋ」

Alright, wanted to try something a little different for today's jam! So I did some vaporwave off of my MPC Live, then a bit of messing around with delay in REAPER. I'm quite pleased with the result, it's a bit of a mess but it's a very thick mess lol.

Another tick in the k-mart album lol

janjam2020 - 18

Small sample-based jam here tonight, messing around with a few snippets of something and also some weird delay/reverb stuff on my CR-68. Have to figure out why it freaks out if you feed too fast a sequence into it, however.

Oh well, might need to get a midi filter for it, I think that more advanced sequencers are freaking it out.

ｆｅｅｌｉｎｇ Ｓｔｒａｎｇｅ

Alright, wanted to mess with my K3m, though I figured out that it's got one voice issue. Probably a dead SSM filter chip, should be an easy swap when I get it pulled apart.

But yeah, CR-68 on drums, K3m on piano sounds, and monologue on bass!

Compu

Alright, messing around with the SU200 here. It's a super bare bones sampler with no internal sequencing, and a fairly limited recording time. But, I just hooked up my old broken casio walkman and threw an old tape in and recorded whatever came out of that. Which is to say a barely stable sloppy mess. But a fun sloppy mess!

This track takes advantage of the usual resample stuff to make loops or add bits of drum. The base drum sounds are also courtesy of the Analog Rytm, with the synth sounds coming from a monologue with a nice triangle wave. Recorded to type II at the slowest speed with dbx on for recording, off for playback. Used a tascam 246.

good times

This isn't terribly good, but I was messing around with the SU200 and some Sade.  Still learning how to do stuff!

Oh also, it was my bday which was neat lol.

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.
