As somebody who is fascinated by auditory illusions, I have been toying with the Shepard Tone for a long time. As a bit of acoustic delicacy I included the Shepard–Risset glissando in this jam session by simply playing it back during a pivotal section; you can hear it starting at approximately 1:20. In fact, I could manage to make things right only after the third or fourth attempt, so either I am getting better at jamming or I simply got lucky because you really can't do much wrong due to the inherent nature of the Shepard Tone: you can stop it at any point and basically get the same result.

Also, this is a bit a homage to Nine Inch Nails as I've been trying to emulate that simple and steady but extremely hypnotic beat from Closer in the second half of this track.

As so often  the case, this track resulted from a jam session which was so extensive, that I split it into a total of three tracks, and here is the second one. Here, I was not so much relying on the Eurorack modules Radio Music and Turing Machine, as I did concentrate on the Korg R3 for the lead melody and percussive elements. Eurorack modules used in the first track, the Beatkangz Beat Thang and the Boss RC-300 are supporting the R3 and contributung to the whole sound structure, which is more four-to-the-floor as with the first track. I used a vast amount of sounds, settings and samples and recorded the 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!

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!
