The assignment: create a drone track where the only sound is your voice.

I was leaving for a cousin's wedding the next day and my flight was early-early, so I recorded one take of audio, two tracks through different effect chains. Out at the wedding hotel, I did a little snipping out parts that didn't seem to fit, gluing the rest, and mixing. But this is mostly true to the single take I made.

シミ

I'm embarking on a new project series that will focus on long-form generative eurorack pieces. I was delighted to discover the ability to use the Generations generative midi controller that was created by Innesti (innesti.bandcamp.com/merch/generations-handmade-midi-controller) with the 1010 Bitbox Micro, and so this combination created the foundation for the piece. I very much consider this to be a companion piece to my recently released 'Generational Drift-A Seasonal Reflection in Four Movements' on Handstiched* (handstitched.bandcamp.com/album/generational-drift-the-celestial-sphere), as some of the elements are shared, as well as the use of Generations, however, this feels quite a bit warmer...thus Spring.

Basic patch notes~

Generations triggering four midi clips in Bitbox, as well as modulating various parameters (pan, filter cut off). Other samples in Bitbox triggered by random gates from Marbles, witch is slowly clocked by PNW. White noise triggering ProbMel/ProbDiv in O_c Hemispheres, which is delicately playing Rings, which then goes thru Draad and Monsoon. Øchd is creating an offset drone from Ensemble Osc and Plaits + Three Sisters, all while sending modulation to various param's throughout..

Recorded 4/21/24...Eurorack > Bluebox > Ableton, and then a basic mastering chain..

I hope you'll enjoy, and hopefully I'll be able to continue with these bits for the foreseeable future :)
