Coll drum patterns and lovely melodic sounds, great stuff!

Beautiful experiment, I'd say! Also like the background information you gave, so few do so!

love your perspective of sampling very much!

Ich steh ja tierisch auf die Samples, die du benutzt, gefällt mir wirklich gut im Kontext deiner sphärischen Klänge :)

Soul Soaker

A powerful song about a soldier who's stationed abroad in a war stricken zone and deeply longs for his precious family as everything is now washed away and gone. The cold and dusty haze, the land that's all torn up and distraught has simply become all too much to bear.

War is never pretty and so let us give love and deep gratitude to our veterans, to the soldiers who sacrifice/d and bring great justice and freedom to all...they are also suffering tremendous mental torture...the dark remnants of what they endured is forever lingering inside them...let us help make a difference by showing our deep regard and respect...to also give love and understanding, to help them recover and feel happiness again - May this song fill everyone up with endless love and positivity - XO

Thank you so much Dear Colin for Family, this magnificent reigning work of pop-rock art...Your music is an absolute joy to me...your friendship and belief in me keep me bliss-fully-hyped-up-&-energized....My deepest heartfelt gratitude and love for all that you have given me on Milky Ocean and now on Family...I look so forward to our next songs together,  Rekha - XO-XO-XO

Family – Music & Lyrics by REKHA a.k.a. REKHA - IYERN [Fe], (Written on Feb 22nd, 2020)

My head is full of precious memories
Sweet and Dear
Where I long to be
With my family who love me
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oh, Oh-Oh  

The time has come when all is in the past
I’m finally free, free at last
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo-Wo
No more call of special duty
For all is washed away and gone
But I am still strong
Holdin’ on, on, on  
Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh

Chorus

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me, (Ee-Ee-Ee-Ee)

Family, my family  
(Nothing’s ever gonna break us apart)

I feel alone, so alone
In the cold and dusty haze
Far abroad in the land
All torn up and distraught
I tried so hard to help the people
I tried my best  
But couldn’t, couldn’t save them all
(Sometimes I feel so small)

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me
Hey-Ee, Eh-Ee-Yeah
Family, my family

(Break)

I am so weak
And just need my strength
You can only get it back  
From those who truly love me  

Family, family
The one’s I love
The one’s who I want
So, so near, we’re made
Hoh-Oo, Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo, Oh-Oo-Wo

(Outro)

Family, family
Yeah-Yeah
My precious family
Precious family
Oh Yeah

Clear As A Bell

Clear As A Bell - Mizero

As already done previously, in this particular jam session I again experimented with something I would call "time-synchronized sampling of percussive sounds". I played back a list of pre-recorded 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 synchronising, the already percussive sound was "forced" into a slightly skewed percussive structure which results in these intricate glitchy raw rhythms in the first part of the track, and also towards the end. Additionally, an LFO at audio rates in conjunction with the LxD, and also the Beat Thang were used to create auxiliary drum and percussive sounds.

I often end up playing back a Youtube video during my jam sessions, 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. Additionally, he is known as one of the pioneers of electronic music. Some of the samples, I was not able to playback in a proper synchtonised fashion, so I added these samples in post-production. For example at 2:03, Stockhausen's voice is imitating electric pulses. Curiously enough, the percussive rhythm that is heard from 0:50 onwards was produced randomly by my humble Eurorack, and it is only when I played back Stockhausen's sample, I realised that his voice matches my electric pulses rhythmically. However, I simply could not play back the sample so that his and my rhythm are perfectly in agreement, even after several attempts; so I had to "fake" it in post. 

As so often the case, this jam session took a couple of hours, and I experimented with a vast amount of sounds, settings and samples, and recorded the result in stereo in Audacity, which I used in post-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!

Samples from the following material were used:
- 100 Classic Hip Hop Drum Breaks At 100 BPM FL Studio (Product Of Tha 90s) [www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxLURvusYD4]
- Lecture 5 - (Part 1/3) Karlheinz Stockhausen - Four Criteria of Electronic Music [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xyGtI7KKIY]
- Several videos from the "Worship Pads" series 
[For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRf0KcTScKI]

Isolation

Happening all the time: mad rush to travel...even in these locked down times. 
Manic saxophones follow a flute dawn.... Electro-melodica /flute mayhem.

RUSH HOUR

I guess I've been hopping around the Cloud long enough to be influenced by all of you. This one is pretty strongly influenced by the bucolic musings of the Cloud King, Chris Pellnat @pretentiousmusic.

From Wikipedia: "Mud daubers are not normally aggressive, but can become belligerent when threatened. Stings are uncommon." To this I can relate.

Dirt Dauber

Dirt Dauber, Dirt Dauber
There’s work to be done
There’s no time for fun
In the sun

Dirt Dauber, work harder
Your larder is bare
Nine spiders despair
When they’re stung

Jittery lady
Adobe architect 
A potter, an artist of mud

It’s all for the baby
A tinge of regret
Your life, a labor of love
 
Work faster, you master 
Of plaster matte walls
Waddle and daubing your halls
 
You flickering onyx
My spindle waste friend
Slaving away til the end

Your moment is coming
You’ve almost arrived
Your masterpiece nearly complete

All in awe we applaud
And with tears in our eyes
As you fall from the skies to our feet

Dirt Dauber, Dirt Dauber
There’s work to be done
There’s no time for fun
In the sun

Dirt Dauber, work harder
Your larder is bare
Nine spiders despair
When they’re stung

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Throw It Away (Embodiment EP 2020)

this is one of a series of tracks i did in the last week or so in the extreme heat of summer here in Southern California.
I wanted to go back to the idm/breakbeat sound of labels like Touching Bass, Skam and WARP,  but basically have fun with synths and old school drum machine sounds

Mood Exhibit - Brutes

Perplexing Patternity is the result of this stormy year. Kind of a purging or clean up. Lot's of hard and weird stuff happening. Trying to manage through it and find some kind of peace amidst all the craziness. Kind of old school electronic. Wanting to escape to childhood nostalgia, but maybe incorporate this hectic all over feeling and the simultaneous search for peace of mind in it. Hope it's something you'd enjoy to listen. For me it was kind of a struggle and the my feeling about whole project is kind of confused, but sometimes you just got to see it trough, I think.

Prime Point

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!
