Hardware Jams - Direct Out

#04_crave&volcas_hardwarejam_jan22

Second jam of a track I am working on.  Narrowed down most of the sounds, time to work on arrangement now. I'm loving this burst of creative energy I have been experiencing lately.  Would love to hear your thoughts.

A Wake of Sorts

The story so far:
Your car is stuck in the woods with a flat tyre, you've gone to a pub for help. There are 3 guys there: an Enthusiastic guy; an Angry guy and a Sleepy guy.
You decide to get them all to come and help as not to offend any of them. You buy everyone a drink and then you all leave the pub. As you head out of the door, the bartender calls out with a worried look on his face, "Be careful, it's the Queen's Jubilee".
You shrug - how bad can it be - a few flags and bunting?
Eventually the four of you arrive back at the car. To your surprise it is covered with wildflowers and woven twig decorations. Weird. You hear a branch snap behind you - you turn to look at the others - Sleepy Guy has disappeared.
You double back to try to find him - maybe he lay down for a nap somewhere? Suddenly, you hear a terrifying scream. You spin round to see Enthusiastic Guy being dragged through the trees by something, screaming and thrashing as he disappears into the undergrowth.
You and Angry Guy exchange a horrified look. WTF is going on? Angry guy reaches into his jacket and pulls out a massive knife.
"Let's go," he mutters, striding in the direction that Enthusiastic was taken.
Heart pounding you hesitate for a moment, then follow him.
The woods are dark and quiet, all you hear are your footsteps crunching through the undergrowth.
You keep your eyes on Angry Guy, the last thing you want is to be alone in this forest.
As you struggle to keep up with Angry Guy, he suddenly plunges out of view, through the ground. You stop abruptly, at the edge of a massive hole. You can just make out Angry Guy at the bottom of the pit. He's not moving. The moon emerges from behind the clouds and to your horror, you see the Angry Man is impaled on a series of spikes that protrude from his stomach, his legs, his neck.
Instinct takes over and you run, trying to remember which direction the pub was. You see lights up ahead and head towards them as fast as you can.
You emerge from the woods - but it's not the pub. You enter a clearing, filled with hooded figures, holding flaming torches. You see Sleepy Guy and Enthusiastic Guy, stripped naked and tied to posts with binds of thorns. At their feet are bundles of twigs and kindling.
You are frozen with fear.
Two more hooded figures drag the body of Angry Man into the clearing and lash him to another post, stacking firewood at the base.
A tall figure, wearing a mask of a skull steps forward.
"Greetings." he speaks in a menacing voice.
"You have come to join us as we celebrate the Forest Queen's Eternal Jubilee. Play a song that will honour her or you will join your friends in a more dreadful sacrifice to her."
You realise, everything counts on this jam - as it may well be your last...

Play The Fool

DaWhat

Made using just 4 wave samples - noise, sine, triangle and square.

Waves

A small jam on Techno System. Polivoks Pro on bassline duties. Percussion is from techno system and delay from Koma Fieldkit FX. Lead from Dominion 1 processed by a distortion filter, flanger, delay and reverb. Tied together by an OTO Boum.

A quick jam which is inspired by boiler room hex. It's a simple sequence on the polivoks pro using the inbuilt ring modulator. One oscillator is triggered by the same note. On the second oscillator pitch a MIDI LFO varies the tune.

HWJFest

Another hardware jam (masteres with Izotope Ozone). I finally got round to using the MAM MB33 as a gate & filter, my Minilogue is channeled through it.

“MUSIC IS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. IF I CAN HELP SPREAD POSITIVITY, JOY, AND A SENSE OF TOGETHERNESS THROUGH IT, MY PURPOSE IS FULFILLED.”
Immersed into the “electronic” scene in 1987 with heavy influences from Industrial music, 80’s New Wave, and early Hip Hop, Unit: E became a prominent figure in the underground and club scene of Hawaii. From the Full Moon Gatherings and “Techno Tuesdays” of ’99 to headlining the Hawaii Electronic Music Festival and Earthdance today, Unit: E has participated in countless events across Hawaii and the West Coast US.  In more recent years, Unit: E has taken to teaching classes to groups and individuals on the subject of hardware music production and performance, and the fundamentals of DJing, including getting familiar with the different types of gear used. This has shown to be quite effectual and he has secured contracts with Roland US as a Cloud Academy instructor and a DJ Ambassador. Providing clear, simple instruction in a relaxed and understanding environment, Unit: E has guided hundreds of budding electronic musicians through the difficult beginnings of electronic music production and performance. Opening for acts such as Mark Farina, Bonobo (DJ Set), Aphrodite,  Late Night Alumni, Shiny Toy Guns,  DJ Harvey, DJ Garth, and more has given Unit: E the opportunity to watch and learn from them and apply that knowledge to his teachings.  Always on the dance floor when not behind the decks, and smiling at everyone he meets, you can bet that Unit: E has his heart and soul in the music.  .
