As per usual, I conducted a jam session that took several hours, during which I experimented with a vast amount of sounds, settings and samples, and recorded the stereo result in Audacity. In a posts-production step within Audacity, I extracted the best parts from that jam session in order to create this track. As always, I only used basic audio editing techniques like simple crossfades. Only a touch of soft limiting was applied, no elaborate approaches like mastering were used whatsoever. Thus, the result is raw and highly dynamic in nature, so put on your favourite headphones and turn up that volume knob, because the Loudness War is for losers!

This particular jam session is dedicated to the sometimes longsome and somewhat tedious process of creating (electronic) music. I was inspired by the Youtube video "Music Software & Bad Interface Design: Avid’s Sibelius" by Tantacrul, who took a detailed look at the design of the popular music notation application Sibelius (youtu.be/dKx1wnXClcI). It is a very entertaining video and being a computer scientist and a hobbyist musician, I could very much comprehend and sympathise with his demonstration in particular, and the usage of flawed tools for music production in general. It is this very video that inspired me to create these two tracks in the first place, since Tantacruls chant "Something something - Sibelius crashed" was so rhythmic and captivating; so I ended up using his voice as a couple of samples. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to capture his voice in the right rhythmic way during the jam session, so I added it in post-production. 

Additionally, I used a sample from the Youtube video "Moog Subsequent 37 - jam no.1 in C-minor" by  ollilaboratories (https://youtu.be/bUMwSp86a9c) which I indeed was able to capture in the right way during the jam session, albeit after several attempts.  

One particularly interesting aspect of this track's sound for me is amplitude modulation in conjunction with filter modulation. I fed the output of the Mordax DATA (using the oscillator mode) through one of the inputs of the Make Noise LxD, which is a low-pass gate. Then, I fed the sine output of the Doepfer A-147 into LxD's CV input and wiggled the A-147's frequency knob. This resulted in an interesting interaction with the Arturia MicroBrute's tone. Also, ollilaboratories's amazing playing of the Moog Subsequent 37 (which I high passed in order to not interact too much with the already quite bassy sound and not to let the result become all too muddy) contributed to the peculiar timbre.  

Since I had so much audio material to work with, I decided to split this one into two parts. I hope you'll enjoy this homage to the labrious endeavours through the intricate realm of music making and the multilayered challenges we as aspiring musicians can encounter. Please bear in mind that this track doesn't reflect my ability to create live music on the fly in one go, like many great artists can do. As most of my tracks, this one is free for download. If you use it in one of your projects, let me know what you can come up with and give Mrs. Audio Boy a shout-out!

Beat Thang And Sibelius Crashed, Part II [Jam session sections: RAW2020 - 5]

Mrs. Audio Boy is a proud member of Project:Music (@projectmusicsounds) and MintFam (@mintfam), and is a German-based project, which creates experimental electronic music by the process of conducting jam sessions, improvising during these sessions, recording them, and then using best parts from those sessions to create so called "Jam session sections" (manually, no AI whatsoever). These are generally raw sound clips that are mostly left unprocessed apart from using a simple cross-fade in order to tie two or more clips together. Only very rarely some simple effects like filters, compressors or noise reduction are applied. 

In doing so, the special one-of-a-kind moment is pursued; thus, the created sound is highly inimitable and unreproducible. Most of the tracks can be downloaded. If you use them, please give a shout-out to Mrs. Audio Boy!

DIE STIMME VOM DACH
Singer-Songwriter-Elektro-Pop trifft auf sperrige Dachterrassentexte!
_____________________________________________________________________

DIE STIMME VOM DACH ist ein unabhängiges Studioprojekt von Singer/Songwriter Sten Fisher. Sten Fisher ist Musiker, Texter und Musikproduzent.

Was man sonst noch über die STIMME VOM DACH wissen sollte:
DIE STIMME VOM DACH lebt in einer kleinen Hütte aus Brettern und Teerpappe, die auf dem Flachdach eines Berliner Hochhauses steht. Am liebsten sitzt sie auf einer kleinen Mauer, lässt die Beine baumeln und beobachtet das bunte Treiben in der Tiefe. Sie liebt diesen freien und weiten Blick. Deshalb schaut sie gerne und oft auf die Stadt, ins Land und in die Welt.

Es könnte alles so schön sein. Doch die Beobachtungen der letzten Zeit beunruhigen sie.

"Was ist da unten los? Was geht da ab? Da stimmt doch etwas nicht!"

DIE STIMME VOM DACH beschließt, der Sache auf den Grund zu gehen.

Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

I do, without knowing.
I  do it for fun, not for fame

Welcome to the load-bearing wall of sound.

Music: No boundaries / Knows no boundaries. I don’t look anything like my profile photograph; I'm actually slightly shorter and a figment of my own delusions.

I’m also known as the wild man of transcendental meditation.

Hello dear Soundcloud listeners,

I'm still determined to continue producing music, the music of Pier Will, which can only be heard on Soundcloud and which can also be recorded... for now.

The world of music is rapidly moving towards a huge upheaval where the true musician will very quickly become "rare," or even more and more of a shadow, a peculiarity, a memory. This time is not so far away, as AI takes a predominant place in everything that touches us and surrounds us and in Music, this can already be heard very clearly!

Apparently, everyone is taking this lightly, and the few diehards are being sneered at as anti-progress terrorists, for now. I already have two work computers disconnected from the internet, which house my software and everything I need to work. No more updates for them to work properly... updates are only necessary if you need to connect! Another computer is dedicated solely to internet connection and will be used exclusively for streaming the tracks.

This decision has serious consequences for my production, as there are no more options to add anything to it. It's a gamble, but for me, it's an obligation to remain completely independent and free from AI.

Pier WILL - ❤️🕊️🙏

Bonjour chers auditeurs Soundcloud,
Je suis toujours déterminé à continuer à produire de la musique, celle de Pier Will, que l'on ne peut écouter que sur Soundcloud et qui peut aussi être enregistrée… pour l'instant.

Le monde de la musique s'achemine rapidement vers un bouleversement majeur où le véritable musicien deviendra très vite « rare », voire de plus en plus une ombre, une singularité, un souvenir. Ce temps n'est pas si lointain, car l'IA prend une place prépondérante dans tout ce qui nous touche et nous entoure, et en musique, cela se voit déjà très clairement !

Apparemment, tout le monde prend cela à la légère, et les quelques irréductibles sont méprisés comme des terroristes anti-progrès, pour l'instant. J'ai déjà deux ordinateurs de travail déconnectés d'Internet, qui hébergent mes logiciels et tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour travailler. Plus besoin de mises à jour pour qu'ils fonctionnent correctement… les mises à jour ne sont nécessaires que si vous avez besoin de vous connecter ! Un autre ordinateur est dédié uniquement à la connexion Internet et sera utilisé exclusivement pour le streaming des morceaux.

Cette décision a de graves conséquences sur ma production, car il n'y a plus aucune possibilité d'y ajouter quoi que ce soit. C'est un pari risqué, mais pour moi, c'est une obligation de rester totalement indépendant et libre de toute IA.

Pier WILL - ❤️🕊️
