Minimal Techno

I used lots of reverse and time stretches on this one. I was really just going with the momentum of each type of sound and take what I like in those sounds, cut out the unwanted ones and consolidated them. the drop is not satisfactory but that's what I came up with in little time I had.

Concrete-MUSC 9

Since I could not get the talk box to work. I just recorded one full song and two parts of two other songs. Then I just took out the pieces that I liked and used the tricks we learned in class. Lots of time stretches and shrinks were used. The first half of the song is suppose to make you feel uncomfortable, I was looking to challenge the tradition way of music listening then at the end hopefully the emotions built up earlier were able to be released.

Can't Stop the Street Revolution(musc-9-plunderphonics)

yesterday i woke up and i dreamed that i was a butterfly. colorful and beautiful. lightly flapping my wings, i flew across the atlantic sea, the united states, the pacific ocean, the peoples republic of china, the middle east, then took a break in the garden of eden, and finally into the abyss. it was not my first time there, but i still find it fascinating and hauntingly beautiful. it was an infinite loop of emptiness wondering around. the void beast does not growl, nor does it speak. it just looks at me with the deepest and coldest emotionlessness...in me....

When it Gazes Back

I found a really nice sample song with rain and harp sounds on youtube. (see below) I mostly just loaded it into the supercolider and played around with different codes and recorded a bunch of materials. I then cut many different mini samples from it and edited them using different types of techniques we learned in class mostly reverse/fades. The main track was composed with different thunder and rain drop samples I got from the youtube song. The rest of the irregular melodies and other sounds come from tweaking with the materials I got from supercolider.

The Life of John Doe (musc-9-ambient)

I was going for a mix of plunderphonics/ambient/dark techno type of song. I really like the idea of minimal techno so that is the main theme. When I did plunderphonics I had a really hard time with the mini sampling so I decided to challenge myself a bit and use lots of mini samplings in this track but I also added some longer samples but used it more for as an ambient background. I thought it'd be interesting to combine these elements together and thus this track was born. I recorded four minutes of the song below from the youtube link I provided, and all my samples come from there. Besides that, I used mostly the drum kit samples we did in minimal techno project. One of the techniques I used was the stretching/shrinking on Audour, and I really enjoyed it. Although it's a hybrid of different themes, I still try to keep the track minimal, because I believe in this genre, less is more.
