After taking a hiatus I'd like to turn your attention to this latest upload of mine, featuring samples of the oud, a stringed instrument common to the Middle East. Please bear in mind that I didn't play the oud; sadly, I am not such a virtuoso. However, I am getting quite experienced in choosing samples that fit my jam sessions, and using this exotic instrument yielded quite enthralling results in my humble opinion.

In this particular session I was experimenting with G minor, which took me outside of my usual comfort zone of C minor. As so often the case, I used a combination of Eurorack modules, the Arturia MircroBrute, and some pre-prepared drum and drone pad samples. These sounds were looped on the Boss RC-300 loop station. 

After setting up the sound frame using Eurorack and the Arturia MicroBrute, I played back a couple of Youtube videos together with my sounds; something that I have been practicing for a quite a while now. At the end I settled for following two videos:
- G minor oud Improvisation (https://youtu.be/vIBjXLFv1vE)
- Emotional Gm (G minor) CHORD - Ambient Backing Track #13 (https://youtu.be/PLqvVSGuRlI)

The jam session was recorded in Audacity. In post-production I used the best parts from the jam session to create this track. As I already expected, I had some trouble with playing back the oud sounds in such a manner that they fit the track and especially its tempo. So I had to heavily edit these samples in post production and put them back together with my sounds in order for them to sound as desired. While doing so, I also employed some reverb, high pass filters and a limiter within Audacity, albeit very sparingly. Other than that, no elaborate effects or mastering techniques were used, you basically listening to a short and condensed version of the jam session.

As always, the result is highly dynamic, so headphones are recommended. Also, please turn up that volume knob because Loudness War is for losers!

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!

Lots of selfmade, mostly bedroom- or cellarproduced tracks here, different styles because of different moods and music tools, often selfmade instruments, allways experimenting and in search of sounds and soundmaking stuff, harmonic or non-harmonic....and all free to listen and to download ...and if you want to use one of my tracks or try a collab, just ask, do it and tell me about it... all in terms of Creative Commons...
I have to make music every free minute, allways full of it, and, about time, I have a lot of toys to do this ... these tracks are my kind of relaxing and i will do it till the end of my time...
I hope, you like, what I do....You may find a lot, but no autotune and no AI, I swear...
You cannot OWN music, you only can MAKE it.... (something, Neneh Cherry said)... and so I do...
I never learned an instrument, I am an analphabet in music theory, but that's not important: 
I AM an instrument and there's always music inside me.... and I go on...
SC is my diary: The diary of my steps into the world of music since 2012....

One of my tracks is especially made for you... 
Try the playlists ; )
Remember:  I DON'T WANT TO BUY SC-PLAYS:  I'll block EVERY try and all those trendscout-robots!! If you like my stuff, listen to it, feel it and tell it to your friends, that's enough.....

Glass and concrete are so intertwined with the neural network of their inhabitants that a kind of symbiosis is obtained, reaching parasitism of one above the other. A small person has a choice: to be free or to become a link in this system, having realized this choice, the choice as such ceases to exist.

Dolbania was founded in January 2008 by two friends and a cat - lovers of good heavy music. Then a gloomy Gothic composition was recorded on the poems of I.V. Goethe on an acoustic guitar and synthesizer.
In the first year of her existence, she was in a creative search, with an admixture of depression. We searched for inspiration at abandoned industrial facilities and in listening to a huge amount of music. We fucked for a long time and a year later we finally decided on the style that you can currently hear in our songs.
