Musing on time with the modular. Pinging an LPG, and a ladder filter while also tuning the ladder filter with a Turing machine. This was then processed in Ableton with Audio Damage's Other Desert Cities delay.

Work on kick-starting a goal that you have had for a song. For this one, it was to introduce some percussion.

Every goal is made of two elements: the first step and perseverance. 
I wanted to experiment creating glitch drums, with irregular lenghts and tempo changes. I then tried to integrate modular synths with it through midi clock via 0-Coast. Most of the work was done in and through Ableton, and came out as a chaotic piece of electronic music. I think there's still some work to do to make smoother tempo changes and loops transitions but I'm satisfied; maybe it'll lead to new material, maybe not: at least I learnt new techniques and reminded forgotten ones.

I started with a drum rack created with DS Kick, DS Clap, DS Hi-hat and two processed hits and a snare made off a field recording of an engine made in 1903 of a steamboat. I used beat repeat quite heavily and used Bathrööm reverb for the whole drum kit. I then created 8, 7, 3 1/2, 2, 1, 1/2 bars patterns and used Follow Action to program a random beat at 138 BPM. 
After recording it I automated master tempo, combining 69 BPM and 102 BPM. 
I then used 0-Coast to send midi clock to 0-Ctrl that sequenced two ARP2600 clone sine oscillators to create a bass. 
I added some heavily processed audio samples and Plucked Harp Effects to add some "melodic"/atmospheric voices.

All written and created on the OP-1.  No other sounds are used.  Mixed and edited in Ableton Live.

Sadness Dissipates To A Comfortable Haze

Happy Drone Day 2024 to those who celebrate.

I recorded this using an OP-1 field while staying at a farm house in the Adelaide Hills. All production, mixing, and mastering was done on the OP-1 field. Volume normalisation, trimming, and fades were done using audio editing software prior to uploading.

The four layers are:

1. Bass made with the stock "Metal Mat" sample through the excellent Terminal effect.
2. Pad made with the String engine and Phone effect.
3. Interesting sounding radio noise recorded from the built-in receiver.
4. A field recording made outside the house with the OP-1 field built-in mic. It was cold and dark, and there was very little natural sound. I mostly picked up a low hum of road noise from a distant highway. There was an outdoor light on a sensitive motion detector, set to turn off after about ten seconds of stillness. The lights made a loud click when they turned on and off. I decided to play with this by sitting still until they clicked off, and then waving my arms to turn them on again.

The parts were recorded onto the Porta 4-Track tape mode. Then, the mix is run through the Mother reverb and master Drive to bring out the noise.

I enabled downloads and a very permissive Creative Commons license, so feel free to incorporate this into your own creations. I'd love to hear the results.
