As per usual, I conducted a jam session which took approximately three hours, and in which I experimented with a vast amount of sounds, settings and samples, and recorded the result in stereo 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!

In this particular jam session, I played back several physics lectures by the amazing Walter Lewin. I fed the audio via the Doepfer A-119 through the Mutable Instruments Clouds to create the effects on the voice. The usual combination of Arturia MicroBrute, Eurorack and the Boss RC-300  complements this experiment.


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!

Increasing Value of Y [Jam session sections: RAW2020 - 3]

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!
