Contrary to popular belief, I don't only do 150bpm, sometimes I just noodle, it's theraputic..

Last night was 'one of those nights' when I needed a bit of 'me' time and just happened to have the laptop recording the mixer output (as one does) just in case anything interesting appeared in my meandering jams.   This was one of those bits...

Noodling first with a nice ambient grainy piano thing on the WaveState, I made a bit of a meandering pad sequence on the Radias, and a random generative thing on the Blofeld (both via Cirklon) then just jammed ambient noises etc from the Wavestate on top. Oh, the long bit of dialog was just playing back a single clip from the Octatrack. Bit overkill but it was the most convenient thing to play a long sample that was switched on...

And before anyone expresses concern. 
This wasn't about *my* black dog. ;-)

Ambiessence...

A pleasant sunday evenings meanderings with my guitary chum Jacob, who brought hid 8-string guitar and a QuadCortex to make it sound like anything but a guitar....

RiK - Synths and samples
Jacob - Guitar / efx.

A new way to think....

Noodling around with some live improvising on my A4.  
Off the cuff, one take, move on.

Done a couple previously, thought I'd better start posting a few of them too ;-)

Headphones recommended.

4 minutes to midnight

Another silly little late night noodle.

Might actually do something with this one!



I want more life

Just a daft little hack & paste job for the YakYak.org monthly tune combo.

A gentle little 175 bpm, next time I'll do something up-tempo ;-)

UVB-76

Little coffee shop experiments in generating a pseudo ratcheting effect in Ableton with sequential arpeggiators and throwing a few M4L LFO's into things like gate time, pan freq etc

Wibbly Ratcheting Experiment The First

I figure I need to try and share some more stuff so here's a first stab of an idea for a collaboration with @Cookie82..

Shiva 3.6

Just a quick 10 minutes noodling with an idea for a future project whilst decompressing with a cuppa after getting back from Machina Bristronica

Machina (WIP)

The very quick result of someone asking me to teach them a bit about Ableton..   Turns out he's into typical Berlin-school electronica so I thought I'd better prep an example for him but literally only had an hour to spare so challenge on!

This is the result.  Literally an hour from empty project to where I'm at here.   I threw together a little jam, warts and all to show how far I'd got in that time.  It's rough as heck, just one quick take but it'll do for now.   

The goal wasn't a finished track, but rather a template I could use for a live improv/jam.   It'll do fine to demo to my friend.. He's a bass player, they're easily impressed.

Video of the jam here if you're interested..

Updated version

Not really a track, just a late night jam, ideas evolving for a set for the next E.M.O.M. in Bristol.

Placeholder drums etc for now..

Inside Your Head (jam / WIP)

A quick noodle of an idea that evolved out of a 5 minute chat with my chum @normleete whilst sat on the sofa in the guitar shop this afternoon..

Another one for the someday/maybe pile..

Phrygian/Harmonic Minor wibbly things. In space.

Typical #synthsaturday noodle sat on the guitar shop sofa, only had the lappy speaker in a noisy shop so less than ideal environment but f**k it, gotta do them loopz!   Someone bet I wouldn't upload it blind without even listening first and I'm never one to turn down a challenge like that...

Beyond Known Space (a loop a day 1/2/20)

Lockdown loop-a-day... A quick bit of 10 minute psytrance over a bacon buttie.. :-)

Ever have one of those mornings when you wake up and realise you shouldn't keep glitching after 3am... LOL   

More early hours 'loop-a-day' explorations..
