Basic riddim from the dubroom studio tutorial. Thought I could get more of it or make a dub last week. Ran out of steam.
4 tracks of Digitone's factory patches with minor tweaks. No external effects. Recoded live via overbridge. Added some gain in Audacity.
i had a bad health week, which led me down the path of... writing an experimental choral piece about it. i wrote it as a 3-part harmony and then adlibbed some soprano bits as well. i honestly was not expecting to use voice AT ALL in this challenge, so that was i guess a pleasant surprise.
the fun part of writing super crunchy harmonies is that... i felt a lot less self-conscious about my voice. the less fun part is that i still had to sing those damn harmonies.
Started this song shortly after getting the OP-XY. Picked it back up this week to have something to submit for this week, fleshing it out as a song and adding some reverb and delay to some parts using the ZOIA.
I'm happy with the way this song has turned out, but wish I'd given more time to the overall mix and master. I got a new guitar this week and that sort of ...diverted my free time.
I named it w a l k because to me it feels like a loping jaunt down a beachside sidewalk.
After several weeks with the microtonal Tele, I thought to return to the standard-tuned PureSalem Mendiola, and see that effect that would have on the music this week. The music that turned up was very clear about what it wanted to be--strong and assured. The first two themes here appeared Friday night, with the other sections appearing in a quick Saturday night session during which melodies just kept coming: I had to add a fourth part in two places. This was something of a homecoming--fingers happy to play on this guitar's neck. (Having listened to it multiple times, I'm unsure if I'm lifting some melodies from other pieces I've written, but that could just be the new parts becoming familiar.)
The signal chain uses the Reuss Undertone in two places: the first and second themes from Friday, but the rest of it is straight into the UA Volt, for logistical reasons. There's some convolution reverb send on each track, and the usual compression/eq on the stereo out.
The title comes from another name of Maryland's MD577, Reliance Road. I know I've been relying on music of late.
More VCVrack with loopers, not sure about the percussion, the polyrhythm module I was using kept losing time.
May not be a track next week as I'm away but we'll see.
It's a bit of a speed trash - I could not allocate enough time to develop the ideas in this track further. Not a bad start but this is really just a raw draft.
ooops found out that the mp3 was missing - now its on ....
