Jamuary Day 16 Prompt: make a song that changes abruptly

I kinda missed the mark on abruptly changing - I tried it, but I just liked the fade better.
Starts off with a slow Sabbathy kind of metal thing and evolves into electronic music.

Power & Glory

Prompt: 3 Voices – Make a jam with up to 3 different instruments/voices
Key: A minor
Tempo: 99 bpm

I chose drums, guitar and "bass" (my guitar octaved down).

January Day 20 Prompt: Use delay in your jam in a creative way – set different times for left and right, combine multiple delays, make it percussive.
BPM: 113
Key: Bb major

My last couple of jams were a bit moody, so I wanted to get upbeat for this one. The main stabby synth riff is a Dreadbox Typhon and it’s ping-ponging (the dry signal is on the left to the wet “response” on the right). The hi-hat sound is a DFAM that is going through a slap-back delay. The rest are a Minitaur, Digitone II, Digitakt II, and my Syntakt for the drums.

Jamuary Day 22 Prompt: Write a jam that captures the feeling of being far away
Key: E minor
BPM: 127Bpm

I heard the term “Thundersnow” on a YouTube weather stream this morning and this is where I am now. Moog Matriarch, DFAM, & Minitaur along with Elektron Digitakt II & Digitone II.

jamuary.org 25 Jan 2025 Prompt: (lullaby) make a calm, soothing jam
Key: Am
BPM: 85

this one was fun. feel like I am starting to get the hang of recording though still loads to learn. for me, all of these jams have been about learning my eclectic collection of instruments much better and these prompts make me explore them in unique and different ways. sounds for this one are from Easel, Solar 42F, Perkons, Pulsar-23 and some hats from MD. OT sending clock and MIDI sequences, A4 sending CV and gates. Recorded live to Reason with some light compression, gates (learning them better) and reverbs.

Jamuary Day 31 Prompt: Write the music that only you can write!

I’ve been working on this on and off all day during breaks from work. I knew I wanted guitar & I also got a steal on a Pocket Piano which arrived this morning that I had to make a part for. Other than that, it’s the Moog Minitaur on bass, the Digitone II on piano, and the drums were a mix of the Digitakt II and Superior Drummer.
