Brainshaker - 26012025

bing bing bong

A really long jam that was pre-prepared (certain aspects i.e. samples, patches, drum patterns, etc) but mostly improvised. Tempo is 134 bpm. Really getting a Moby vibe from this one (Techno days) but that was not intentional:) Only noticed this while mastering. Not too mad about the Roland D-beam synth though. 4 synths, 1 sampler, 1 drum machine. 
Headphones recommended:) Enjoy the groove!

Freedom

Short nonsense ballade with Nordlead A1 and Blofeld plus Ableton Live CR-78 kit. These two synths are what I have hooked up right now, back to the roots sort of. Covers a lot, from basic subtractive to musical FM tones and general psychedelic vibes with phasing and ensemble chorus. Some effects from Ableton and Valhalla but core sound from the source. Bass, lead, flanging keys at 1:00 and lush pad from the Nord. The Blofeld does the Rhodes FM piano figure, the vox choir and the melodic background plucks.

Data Fundamentals Ballade

Nord Lead A1 + Blofeld and Ableton Live stock drums. The synth solo took it's time to get it right.

Remixes

Leafblighter - Milieu (The Preposterist Remix)

This is just a test how well the newly released Blofeld plugin works on my 6th gen iPad mini. And the answer is: beautifully. I never really saw more than 50% cpu utilization with 3 Waldorf tracks and 3 Zoa generators in AUM. 

Here's the setup:
- One Zoa game-of-life midi generator instance with 3 generators active
- One Waldorf Blofeld track for pads receiving notes from the Zoa generator 1 with a pace of 4 bars
- One Waldorf Blofeld track for arps receiving notes from the Zoa generator 2 with a pace of 8th notes
- One Waldorf Blofeld track for bass receiving notes from the Zoa generator 3 with a pace of dotted 8ths
- One vadrum2 drum synth track for the drum track

Zero composition from my part: it's all generative music in the key of C minor and the Zoa instance is just playing game of life by itself and translating that into notes in the appropriate key at predefined pace.

Harmonic Ruins

Nostalgic Drum'n'Bass track, added some shoegaze flavors.
We love Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and My Bloody Valentine.

Teenage Rush

More of the similar, a fanny-on with some additional stereo elements:

AR - drums
OT - vox, noises
MPC One - bassline, recording
blofeld - pad
MonoStation - niggle

HardWareJams effort - as ever time pressed, stereo out from Octatrack with scant regard for production or arrangement ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Octatrack - vox, bass
Analog Rytm - drums
MonoStation - niggle
blofeld  - pads

20270707 HWJ YooEssAay

This is a place for electronic doodles to reside, no specific genres but broadly under the techno banner and all made with hardware synths. . . Currently my working kit consists of MPC One with S-1 & T-8 or Octatrack, blofeld, Erebus, Circuit Mono Station, and Zoom CDR-70 pedal  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Brillman has been an electronic online musician during the last 20 years using many different names: Brillman, Controlfreak, freakcontrol, Red Karma, Atmosphere, Zero Loop, Pan64, Randomcontrol, geometric delay and Superfreak! Brillman mainly creates original sounds from hardware synths but also uses guitar, samplers, vocals or even poetry. He primarily utilizes a 4 to the floor approach. The aesthetics behind the music is about finding a balance between minimalism vs. depth & improvisation vs. programmed.

Ableton Live with a couple of va, analogs, fm, romplers and various hybrid synths via a MOTU 828 and of course vsts. Style includes all sorts of genres, I guess film and games is the theme. As long as it resonates in my head even if its sometimes only the gear talking. Anyway, thanks for listening.
