Gravity is a piece about letting go and embracing change. Musicians always tell you that their latest music is the best they have ever written, so this might be unusual to hear, but this track is simultaneously my most and least favorite piece of music i have written in recent years.

A few months ago i had some pretty traumatic experiences that made me unable to focus on any creative work. When i finally sat down to make something, i didn't wanted to write anything significant or important, i only wanted to experiment with some new sounds and ideas. This piece was almost finished in a few hours. I wanted to widen the palette of the sounds i'm using, introducing new bass instruments, a new approach to create drum tracks and also trying out a i - bVII - i - ii chord progression, which i believe is extremely rare to find.

First i was hesitant to even share this one because i feel it is very generic and predictable in many ways, yet somehow it captured perfectly my state of mind after the wounds of last year. Sometimes you just have to accept that things change around you and stop hold on to your hurt feelings, so your mind and body can be at the same place again. Far from the place that pulls you down.
I am listening to it for weeks now and somehow feel better every time. It is a very strange adventure to me, but there you go...

Plume - Retro Box Remix

With some intrepidation I decided to have a go firing up Novachord 346 for the first time in what turns out to be 8 years since I resurrected and partially restored this 1/4 ton behemoth!...

To my great relief, this now 85 year old quarter ton 163 tube beast came out of slumber with all 12 of her master oscillators in action and pretty much in the same order she was in last time I hooked this monster to the power!...

After some initial tests I made this recording consisting of one overdub of a plucked Attack setting over a slow sustained Attack setting whilst occasionally moving some of her triple L/C formant resonator controls, the Bright/Mellow control and the Vibrato Depth.  

The source is 100% Novachord and the recording was made directly from the line output of the pre-amplifier into basic delay and reverb but with no form of added modulation processing such as chorus/ensemble/flanger.  Any natural chorusing you hear is due to the Novachord's 6 free-running vibratos acting on pairs of her 12 master-oscillators.

It still truly astounds me that an all electronic instrument originally on the drawing board in the mid 1930s can sound like this.. and even moreso 85 years after she left the factory!!

We are so used to hearing muffled scratchy recordings from the 1930s – but that is not to say its what it sounded like on the day of the recording – the HF the NC produces is amazing for its era.

This kit was created by loading the previous Volca Sample kit created from the beat tape Kit Kuy onto the Volca

The original samples were tweaked analogue isolator added and played through a hand built speaker featuring a valve buffer amp.

The samples were recorded from the speaker onto cassette using a TalkBoy at this stage the OSC section was replaced with bell sounds and a Russian music box these were not run through the speaker just recorded direct using the TalkBoy.

Recorded all samples off the TalkBoy into Tracktion T7 EQ, saturation, limiting and a slight bit of reverb on some samples added then exported at -5db.

All the samples were then uploaded to Bandlab and the automatic mastering CD pre-set applied downloaded re trimmed then loaded into the Vosyr app.

The aim was to trim the fat out of the previous samples by running it through the speaker any frequency the speaker couldn’t handle would not be present and then the TalkBoy was to add more texture and LoFi qualities 

If you find the samples useful and make a track ping a link of your track to the WallsVado Soundcloud would be great to hear what you come up with.

This sample pack is a side project of the beat tape “KIT CUY” by WallsVado. "KIT CUY" is a beat tape / audio scrap book of our trip through South America. The beat tape was made using only the Volca Sample with completely custom samples.

The initial sounds were created by combining a drum machine with a mono synth this was then played through and recorded from a PA system in an Adobe house (Adobe - walls made from mud). These samples once processed and edited with Caustic Editor formed the basis of the sound palette which was added to with found sounds from the trip through Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia & Chile to make the tracks of "KIT CUY".

This pack is a combination of the initial sound pallete layered with selected found sounds from the trip & enhanced with plugins. Focusing on creating a unique sounding kit & turning the Volca Sample into a dedicated drum machine.
