preparing intro for heroines of sound festival in berlin - radialsystem

This one coalesced while I was thinking of other things, and ended up becoming a kind of atmospheric low-key dubsteppy kind of thing. Then when I went to track guitar after having tracked bass successfully, I had to embark on a 45-minute exploration of why my USB converter didn't seem to be passing audio. (In the end...it was a bad cable. But I had also spent time messing up the converter settings, so I had to fix them again.)

Instruments: rack of dry funk single drum hits (lots of filtering on here to roll off highs), hand claps, Linn percussion, two different electric pianos, Mellotron samples, Epi P-J bass on P, and home-made Res-O-Glas guitar.

Two convolution reverbs (one short, with auto-filter to roll off lows one long), and typical delay cascade.

Title from the fact that 27 is the prime reciprocal magic square of 1/7.

Sunday July 9: Guitar practice/jamming.

I kind of lazied out this week, but some practice is better than no practice.

Total time: about 1.5 hours.

Was on vacation this past week with no time to work on music, so here's an outtake from last week's submission. I'll be back on my game this next week... hopefully.

An ambient thing. Took small loop and processed the heck out of it using paul Stretch, Vocal Synth, Ableton time stretch mostly.

sucks and i hate it

Whoops, guess I missed a few weeks... or maybe a dozen. Ended up burning myself out and was pretty busy so didn't have the time to make much music, but been working on a few things recently. This track's based around samples from Stars by Simply Red.
