Each of the musical modes.
Ionian: happiness, home-coming.
Dorian: sad but with the hope of something better to come.
Mixolydian: happiness with a serious undertone.
Lydian: dreamy and heaven-like.
Phrygian: bright darkness with a sense of something to come.
Aeloian: naturally dark and melancholy.
Locrian: evil.

I unintentionally saved Ionian for last. It's the mode I use the least. I told my friend this story: I was 17 in 2012 and I found my first girlfriend. My friend texts me and says something to the effect of "Good. Now you can start writing in Ionian!".

This mode wants to be joyous and uplifting. And while I think what I wrote has those qualities, it also has a fair bit me as well.

Lydian Revisited

Hi, today I had a great recording session in duet with the great Bobby Rangell, from Denver, Colorado, my "to-go" flute player. It was an ambient  bass & flute gig.
The volume of certain pedals is a bit out of control, I kept tweaking that, but this is the only test recording I did, straight to stereo .I started earlier to set up all my pedals and practice a little bit, and recorded this impro as a test.
Here for you to treat, mistreat, chop, pitch, mutilate, whatever.

Nothing great happened, but it's a nice texture and sound...
E minor.


Cheers DD


Recorded Thursday 7th March 2024 around 10AM in Paris, France.

Past Tense

For my second attempt this week, I chose the soothing track (left) https://soundcloud.com/fake-genius/disquiet0636-drma by @fake-genius and ran a weird generative Pigments patch alongside of it (right). 

The DRMA track had a lullaby vibe to it and to me the melodic moans in the patch ended up sounding like androids. The patch uses three square oscillators and some granular sampling. 

Sequence was keyed to D minor and 84 BPM, but its a bit loose.
