Catching up, making up for a week I couldn't post. I'll be taking a break from LSDJ posts after this week. Moving on to other things!

Oh shit 2 minutes late... :'(

Pretty cool deep cruising techno. Lots of frequency work.

A couple of minutes of ambience showcasing the Medusa's softer side. Bass from the Neutron and plinks from the PreenFM2.

Pleased with this one,

spent most of the week out of town, visiting a dear friend in the ICU and almost didn't get anything done- but another good friend hooked me up with access to ableton and a focusrite scarlett so here we are :)

I am cheating this week because I didn't really do music other than One Hour Compo.

However, I reused the baseline from my previous week's song in this song to make something completely different, so there was a little bit of continuity there in that sense.

This is a weird one. For a while I've been thinking of doing a piece composed of gestures on guitar, rather than playing notes--building a piece out of a vocabulary of incidental sounds. So this is a step toward that. I did several passes of Res-O-Glas (direct into the board) and several clips of Moog guitar through Vox Wah for drone texture. Arranging it...I shortened a lot of the Res-O clips to focus on scrapes and clicks (leaving in the switch-pop of a pickup selector switch, which still kind of sounds wrong...), time-stretching some clips, compressing others, and looking for repetitive patterns in them.

Four Res-O tracks are panned to fixed positions, while the Moog got auto-pan. Sends: two different convolution reverbs--a smaller room for the Res-O, and a concert hall for the Moog. Full-Chain Master on the 2 buss.

Title from this week's element, gold, apparently formed in the Earth's mantle.

Just Live and Push this time.

It's bloody hot in the UK and I just heard a thing on the radio about icecream vans contributing to global emissions. So here's a nice ditty inspired by hearing vans going around the town as a kid. You don't hear them any more.
