A submission for Weekly Music 2017 45

Didn't really have any idea what to do for this week, but at least I wanted to try something slow and a litte sad sounding with a little bit of ambience. Could not come up with any melodies to this, so that's the end result.

Really having a hard time this past week or so getting back into music. Hopefully I can find my pace and muse again soon..
Just wrapped this one up a few minutes ago. Not really a song, more of an idea that got weirder the more I delved into it. Sort of lost my footing here... not remotely close to the idea I had in my head when I started...lol.
Quirky synth-hop?

Sunday, Nov 12.

12:25 - 12:35. I'm probably going to be out all afternoon, so I'm going to try to crank out a drone track from nothing (no patches or anything) in a few live takes in about 20-25 minutes.

12:45 - 13:00. Resume and attempt to start recording.

13:00 - 13:15: Minor amounts of software post-processing: mostly adding EQ and some compression and a bit of light plate reverb.

So total time about 40 minutes. Not my shortest song ever… but it's an improv.

So another ambient track, but in a minimal vein this time. I thought about doing a generative patch, but this was a simple tune that just sort of came together really quickly. Sketched it Live using built in instruments and then used outboard gear to print it to loops/scenes. I am really digging Roland's SE-02. It was used for all sounds in this track. Printing the poly sounds was a PIA, but worth it.
