Sounds like goosebumbs moving over skin, excellent

Your sound design and intricate soundscape is so damn impressive. I love this a lot!

Amazingly tranquil soundscape. Beautiful work.

so clever-awesome moment formings you've layed out...especially this woodwind section!

This track will be released in "Week 4" on a wonderful ambient reworking project designed to portray human life on Mars day by day.

A big thanks goes to SLDE for its valuable support.

Story behind the Dust Storms on Mars

It was one of the large and violent dust storms which occur in the vast plains during the Martian spring. They cover large parts of the Martian surface. A brave research team wanted to conduct research at high altitude during one of these dust storms. They flew their space capsule high into the atmosphere. The roar and thunder of the dust storm could be clearly heard and felt. They were still able to make sensational picture and sound recordings. The strain on The Crew and on the space capsule was enormous. 
The research team was able to observe that the wind speeds in the upper atmosphere were much greater than those on the ground. They did not realize until they returned to their space station that they had recorded other, mysterious sounds as well. The origin of these noises could not be cleared up until today. It remains another mystery of the dust storms on Mars. This provides another reason to re-explore one of the major dust storms. But this decision has yet to be made.

The Dust Storms Of Mars - Flight Through The Dust Storms

To begin with I would like to thank you for coming to listen to what I have presented you today. Staying true to my motto of creating experimental electronic music that results from unscripted jam sessions, here comes my latest upload which features plenty of quirky sounds and curious samples.

As always, the Boss RC-300 loop station is the MIDI clock master to which I sync my humble Eurporack. As an inspiration for the whole session, I played back the Youtube video "Minimal Glitch - Modular Improv" by Modular Cult (@user-451526715), just to start things going, and then I added my sounds on top of his experiment and also modulated his original soundscape in order to put my spin on the whole affair. To spice things up, I decided to employ yet another Youtube video, "Saraz Handpan F Harmonic Minor 9" by Saraz Handpan. Since I love the intricate but calming timbre of handpans, I employed sounds of this lovely handpan playing F Harmonic Minor, that I put through the Mutable Instruments Clouds which was heavily modulated, again, to put my spin on it.

As you might have read in one of my previous write-ups, I love to include speech samples, especially by narrators who talk about music, which may or may not fit the session's narrative. This time, I settled on a lecture by Karlheinz Stockhausen, who is considered to be influential but also somewhat controversial composer, and one of the pioneers of electronic music. His explanations of changing musical moments really matched my approach, since I love to change up the flow of my jam sessions to keep things interesting. Additionally, to emphasize the transition from one particular segment of this track to another I used a famous Monty Python catchphrase.

During the course of this particular session I heavily relied on a combination of several modules, most prominently the Turing Machine with its expander Pulses, the LxD, the A-147, and the Radio Music. This setting ended up creating some glitchy rhythms, which very much reminded me of the track "Vertical Invader" by Frank Bretschneider & Taylor Deupree (@frankbretschneiderofficial, @taylordeupree). I decided so sample this track directly onto the loop station and after adjusting the tempo to my session's original tempo of 112 BPM, I was able to quite successfully incorporate this amazing minimalist track into my musical flow. 

Interestingly enough, the harmony of Vertical Invader went really well together with the sound snippets that came from the Radio Music module at this stage of the jam session. Also, the conglomeration of all these sounds matched the E Phrygian scale that I have been toying with for the last couple of weeks on my guitar and my synths. Since I am not much of a player, I decided to play back a couple of related Youtube videos and see if anything comes up that really fits the whole narrative. Indeed, in her Klezmer lessons, Robin Seletsky usually plays in E Freygish (which basically corresponds to the E Phrygian Dominant scale) and her clarinet's timbre tied the whole picture together. However, I mostly wasn't able to play back her videos in a rhythmically meaningful way, so I put many of the samples in post production.

Most of my tracks can be downloaded for free, and I encourage you to use them in your jam sessions and live sets. If you use any of my material, I really would like to know what you could come up with. So drop me a message and please give a shout-out to Mrs. Audio Boy!

A quick live jam into logic on my Circuit tracks, just so I don't loose the 1 track a month challenge with Glennus Maximus. Im a tight arse and don't want to shout him burgers.

Ellipsis

This is based on a chord progression/melody I came up a few months ago. Added a few arpeggios and field recordings, and pushed everything through some nice moog-style ladder filters and saturation plugins.*

The footsteps you hear are taken from a field recording of me walking through Finnish snow :)

Funking Duck - You looked in the mirror... It wasn't me (Senglar U-Turn Rmx)

This is quite a minimal ambient piece that I put together in April 2023. It features an unconventional Reaktor drone, a couple of synth patches from TassMan4 and a Spitfire LABS flute creation, along with plenty of reverb.

Spot the sonic reference to David Lynch.

Edit: 20240120 - I remixed this yesterday, lowering the noise levels in two modules within one instance of TassMan4, then lowered the volume level and re-EQ'd that instance. I also changed the EQ on the LABS instance, and then remastered the track.

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!
