almost didn't get this in for silly reasons (thanks onezero), and it's pretty sloppy but i had fun and mostly like it.
guitar thru Guitar Rig 5 which is pretty damn sweet for free, bass clean except for a little compression, and then some Symptohm synth for flavor
A song introducing the antagonist of my concept album for the month of May,
I think there is a lot more to this song, so I'll have to figure it out later!
This one was difficult to finish--I didn't want to fall into a retread, and some aspects are similar to a lot of other this-tempo guitar/bass/keys/drums things I've done. So...what to do? I started editing stuff out, and this start/stop approach seemed to pull it into having an identity.
64-pad jazz drum rack, 64-pad special kit (both with M4L Humanizer and Drum Buss, two Puremagnetik Rhodes instruments, Epi P-J bass through the Balls KWB (still pulled down bass with EQ-8), two tracks of Res-O-Glas (KWB and not, one with Auto-Filter drive and not), Sends: two Echo and one convolution reverb. Full-chain master on the master.
Title from the difficulty of extracting this week's element lutetium, but also kind of a difficult track to extract, so it fit.
Ambient track. I gave myself restrictions of only using Arturia's CS80 and Arp 2600. The name is based on the "hit" 3D" vector classic of the 8 bit days - hence its spacey theme.
Finally! It's only taken about two months.
Quick hip hop loop using the PO32, Neutron and Medusa with the new 2.0 firmware. The updated smoothed wavetables are lovely, making these basic three note chords much more interesting thanks to a synced LFO.
This is the ending bit from today's jam. Ableton Live, Volca Sample, KORG MS2000R and VCV Rack.
I think I'm slowly getting the hang of this. This track has more work in it than most of the others I've put up but it wasn't really going anywhere, getting a bit out of hand, so I've topped and tailed it and here we are.
