Disquiet Junto Project 0467: Toolbox Show & Tell. The Assignment: Share a tip for making music that you learned during the pandemic.

80% of my music started on a cheap android DAW app called "Caustic". The sound is not perfect, but I like the workflow. Anyway, since 1 year or so I try to switch to Ableton Live. Because of the lockdown I had a lot of time to flatten the learning curve with this DAW.

My tip is about "Follow Action", to bee seen in the Clip Editor. Follow Action allows a clip to trigger other clips by probability, in the screen example of the track cover there is "play again" with prob 1, "play any other" with prob 2. The clip is one of of many clips which only contains some note on a scale or a chord.

Normally I somehow reject pure generative music, although I place a lot of value on chance in my own. It always seemed dishonorable to me to let a software (that I didn't write myself) generate music and claim this music to be "mine".

However, with "Follow Action" I have the possibility to achieve an (in my opinion) honorable mix of probabilities and composition.

In this case, there are different tracks with different signatures and different Gongs in A minor. I even added "empty" clips to get some "silence" into it. The probabilty for the different tracks differs, one could for example use one track to establish sequencial clip triggers, to include motives that are bigger than inside a bar.

(And please consider "honorable" a way to big word here…)

Generative Gongs [disquiet0467]

Curly Compositions from a German Composer.

Almost all tracks are free to download and covered by a Creative Commons license. Collaborations / Remixes are welcome so feel free to experiment - no need to get my permission first. Just send me a link to your track when you're done :)

I love listening to & creating ambient, dark ambient, avant-garde & experimental electronica (and the occasional beatscape). I have no professional aspirations  - I just really like creating music / manipulating sounds. It's my way of relaxing after a hard day at the office. All my tracks are produced using monitoring headphones (Audix A140) so I recommend that you listen to my music through headphones. My DAW of choice is FL Studio. I also use Reason every now & then. 


To the artists I follow; I do my best to try to listen to as many of your tracks as possible each night (I listen to each track all the way through - you went through the effort to create a track so you deserve to have it heard in full). If I miss a recent upload of yours, please forgive me...
