Great Concept...i also am a musician of perpetual improvisiation. Thats where all the good sh-t comes from ....right? All sounds awesome.

this is real fresh and creatively inspiring, makes me want to make music right now! super fresh lofi percussive sound, love all your samples, this is dope!

This all makes so much sense, I dont know why I feel this way, but I do. It’s a great way of taking something youd never expect, to be contemporary music, but it easily sides into soemthing so right, experimental, and unique.

The devil is the conductor and I didn't even pay for my ticket.

As so often the case, I conducted a jam session which took approximately four hours, and in which I experimented with a vast amount of sounds, settings and samples, and recorded the result in stereo in Audacity, which I used in posts-production to extract 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 experimented with something I would describe as "time-synchronized sampling of percussive sounds". I played back a list of prerecorded Hip Hop drum breaks at 100 BPM through my humble Eurorack which was also set to 100 BPM. The next step was feeding the drum sounds through the Make Noise LxD module (which is a dual low pass gate that can function as a filter, and also be pinged to produce percussive sounds) and modulating it by a collection of different Eurorack modules. Due to the imperfections in the synchronizing, the already percussive sound was "forced" into a slightly skewed percussive structure which results in these intricate glitchy raw rhythms.

Again, I made use of the outstanding Radio Music module, which is a sample player with a twist. From this module came the sermon speech samples, and that organ sample from the first section of this track (which I was able to loop on the Boss RC-300 loop station, albeit after dozens of takes).  

Additionally, I used the Arturia MocroBrute, that provides that arpeggiated metallic acidy synth voice in the second section of the track. The descreet bass kick in the second section was created using an LFO at audio rates, fed through one of the channels of the aforementioned LxD module.

Samples from the following material were used:
- 100 Classic Hip Hop Drum Breaks At 100 BPM FL Studio (Product Of Tha 90s) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxLURvusYD4]



The following hardware was used:
- Arturia MicroBrute
- Boss RC-300
- Various Eurorack modules

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!

Lo-Fi Sermon [Jam session sections: RAW2020 - 2]

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!
