DingDong Session (11/2024)

Hackathon (One Take, No edit)


One-Take, Live Recorded.

Minimal Processing: Subtle compression applied in Ableton Live on the master channel.
 Core Elements:
   * Voice: Solely driven by Mutable Instruments Elements.
   * Pitch:
     * Voice 1: Pitch information derived from QuBit Bloom (1 Voice to V/Oct, bypassing Elements).
     * Voice 2: Pitch information from QuBit Bloom (2 Voice to Freq-Input of Batumi mk2 at audible rates).
   * Batumi:
     * Exciter and Resonator inputs fed with a pitched ramp (processed through a Doepfer 12dB SEM Type VCF set to High Pass with full resonance) and square waves.
 * Modulation:
   * Mutable Instruments Elements modulated by Mimetic Digitalis (Noise Engineering).
   * Clocking provided by Steppy (Intellijel).

Key Improvements:
 * Enhanced Readability: Improved formatting for better readability on SoundCloud.
 * Clarity: More concise and clearer explanations of the core elements.
 * Emphasis on Performance: Highlighted the "one-take, live recorded" aspect.
 * Expanded Hashtags: Added relevant hashtags for better discoverability.
Further Considerations:
 * Add a Title: A descriptive title can significantly improve engagement.
 * Consider a brief artist statement: Briefly describe your artistic intentions or the inspiration behind the track.
I hope this enhanced description effectively communicates the unique aspects of your track to your listeners! Let me know if you'd like to explore further revisions or have any other questions.

Woidfest Eurorack Modular Synthesizer Live-Performance 2024

A sonic journey that begins with a spacious, contemplative soundscape and gradually unfolds into a richly textured soundscape. The track features a combination of evolving polyphonic chords, processed vocal samples, and rhythmic pulses, all generated by a Eurorack modular synthesizer. The 7-minute intro invites listeners to immerse themselves in the evolving soundscape, while the subsequent sections showcase the dynamic interplay between the polyphonic chords, which are rhythmically shaped by the Make Noise DXG, and the haunting, processed vocal samples created using the Make Noise Morphagene. The entire composition is the result of spontaneous improvisation and was captured in a single take.

DingDong Session2 (Eurorack Live-Performance)

This track was recorded live in one take with no further editing beyond volume adjustments and light compression in Ableton Live. The main voice is the Make Noise XPO through the Make Noise DXG Low-pass Gate.

The minimalist soundscape is built upon a foundation of Eurorack modules, including the Make Noise Morphagene, Maths, and XPO, alongside contributions from the Qu-Bit Bloom, Data Bender, Mutable Instruments Plaits and Beads, and more. The track also features the Roland TR-8S and the Arturia Microfreak.

The vocals, sampled from a live session with a friend last week (originally recorded for music at 135 BPM), are processed through the Chroma Console effect pedal and emerge as fragmented whispers within the dark and atmospheric soundscape.

Gone feat. Cri

all recorded in one take, only a bit of compression and gain adjustment in Ableton. 

based on the chords and harmony of "Jetzt gehst du weg" von Rakede.

Am Hof 2 Outta Space

A mellow, modular synth-driven track with a slowly evolving piano, propelled by generative melodies at 92.7 BPM. The rest of the track is crafted with analog equipment, featuring the Make Noise XPO as the main oscillator and Mutable Instruments Plaits. Everything was recorded and mixed live, with minimal post-processing in Ableton.
