This is becoming a running theme. No time so bashed this fairly uninspired synthwavey type thing out in an hour or so over lunch today.

Determined to catch up and not make it 4 late subs in a row!

Kinda imagined this one as a theme song for an anime cartoon. Almost ended up going full novelty song but stopped halfway ;D

i did some meh stuff earlier in the week i was going to submit with a 'neutral' rating at best, then regrouped and did something i liked more (and am able to use for my weird cyberpunk space pirate concept album ( https://soundcloud.com/red-rising ) )

Based this around a tape Loop or two which i played slower then wrote around it. Intend to work in this area much more. Composition wise - its a bit poor. The 1st melody is a bit wrong (it kinda sounds like its coming in half way through).

My friend challenged me to write acid house and here is my attempt. Not sure if it is acid house because I don't listen regularly but hey it's a fun song.

If anyone is going to PAX East hit me up, I'll be enforcing in the Expo Hall! Ask for WadeStone by the PAX Rising booth.

Back to the funk. This week brought a new pedal (the Balls Effects KWB pedal, a variant of the MXR Distortion +/Ross pedal with switchable diodes and sweepable clipping), so I used that on guitars and bass. This one started as drum tracks (Drum Rack 64-pad Jazz kit), to which I added a bit of a low end with additional Typhoon kick and some percussion). Then I added two Puremagnetik Rhodes pianos, and laid down guitar (modulated wah and stationary wah) and bass (EQ-8 for bass rolloff). Sends: room-sized convolution reverb and an Echo channel.

Title from...a dad joke about the use of gadolinium (element 64) as part of the emergency shut-down procedure of some reactors, including the CANDU. (Sorry.)

This submission features S-curve (sigmoid function) for smooth transitions between pitches and just intonation tones.

Here's a quick jam I cut up for brevity.

Didn't have time to do drums properly, but I'll do it sometime when I have time to pick this idea up again.

Trying to fuzz-up a piano again.

I normally don't straight-on upload my One Hour Compo track, but this weekend I'm traveling and the chance that I'll get to submit is pretty low.

This is a live track done on the Octatrack and Analog Four. I didn't do resampling unfortunately - not comfortable enough with it - but it is my first non-noise song with both the Analog Four and the Octatrack together so I guess that's something.
