The OP-XY has become the backbone of my method, and my favorite toy is currently en route to teenage.engineering for an RMA. One of the buttons was finicky and I couldn't stand it anymore, but that means I'm without it for the week.
I started this song awhile ago on the OP-1, before I had the OP-XY. I finished it today for my weekly upload, because I had mostly run out of time. I like this song, but still struggle with the OP-1 workflow.
In a couple of short late-night sessions, I came up with a few themes that had a bit of a resonance. I was interested in doing something with varying levels, but abandoned most of that, with the exception of a pedal tone audible in a few places. (Maybe next week's will follow through with this.)
This one's three tracks of PureSalem Mendiola straight into the UA Volt, with some convolution reverb and the usual compression/eq on the stereo mix.
The title comes from a small town at the northern end of PA Route 580.
Hectic week so rather rushed this, and I really would have liked to start this sooner as it has some nice sounds in it, plus I love tricky drums which you can do really well in a tracker. Could have left this until next week but nah, discipline!

I tried something a bit different this week. The youtube rabbit hole took me to watch the corridor fight sequence in the movie Old Boy. This inspired me to try out scoring that scene. So I used the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwIIDzrVVdc , removed all the audio and then added music, beat and sound effects.
This was fun! The hardest part was setting a consistent beat that would work with the scene, as of course it that scene was not shot to a click. I am quite happy with the result as it was a fun experiment.
I suggest starting the video above at the same time as the track if you are curious to see what the result looks like.
missed weekly music :3
