A submission by cbat for Weekly Music 2019 7

@Arcana cheers for the comment ;D it's a "chiptune/8bit" patch I made on a Korg Ms2000. A dual timbre patch, each using the inbuilt sequencing and one using the arp, and portamento having a big impact on one of them.

It's driven by an mpc just playing a few root notes, with a keyboard connected to it. I totally ran out of time and only had a few minutes until the deadline to do the actual record - or much sense of composition - so I just hit play and wangled around on the keyboard and toggled with the arp a little. The mpc is also playing the kick and the hat.

I think it has some potential on being a cool track and I have been torn on what to do with it regarding composing it out as it might just sound like a very formulaic gameboy track. It's interesting you like the live sound ... it has given me an idea to maybe record some long free form keyboard inputs into the mpc .. maybe in 32 bar lengths or something so it's sort of getting some sense of composition but still staying live/improvy and wacky ;D

I will play around with some noise and higher frequencies too, thanks for the interest ;D

This is really tracker-esque. I like the improv-like nature of this - the random modulations and shifts really gives this a live, dynamic feel, as if you were jamming out over a Eurorack synth or something. Maybe you were, for all I know - it would definitely feel at home in that realm.

It has a lo-fi feel to it, maybe almost too lo-fi to me (it's like I'm listening to this into a tunnel, I'd consider adding some high frequency sizzle to this, possibly in the form of noise.

I'd play the crap out of this 2d underwater roguelite.

This song ended up sounding a hell of a lot like a Bodzin song, haha!

I'm a week behind at this stage, plan to catch up though!

I like this one.. bit slower, kinda deep, a bit glitchy, techy but kinda acid housy, a bit groovy.

Pretty fun one. Trying to consolidate all mechanics lately. As in make stuff simple and line up but be powerful. Maybe that makes some sense, maybe not :) Pretty fun song anyway, a little on the lighter side of things.

Acid didgeridoo jams .. trying to get something deep and rambling.

6 minutes late damnit!

Was really struggling to come up with something .. didn't give myself enough time and nothing seemed to click until the last minute, so all in all this turned out pretty good in the end.

Oh shit 2 minutes late... :'(

Pretty cool deep cruising techno. Lots of frequency work.

The generic ultra pop song nobody asked for ;D

Pop song new wave

Just a happy little song that cruises along.

Back to 130bpm acid ;D
Trying to get a deeper swampy sound in my techno.

Something a bit different, a bit slower, can kind of imagine some new wave vocal line over the top of it.

Love weekly beats/streak club for getting my arse into gear! Have barely done anything music related all week and barely made it to this deadline. But I did and am now super amped again for tunes ;D

Here's a nice and mellow acid jam for Monday morning ;D

Pretty rushed piece of techno jam.
All over the place at the moment - was more focussed on updating my submission from last week to the real track which is a live one hour set. Hope you get a chance to listen to that one ;D

Struggling to upload my festival set from lastnight cos still at festival and reception sucks. Not loosing my streak due to technical difficulties lol. Will update soon!

UPDATE: Ok uploading now!! Not mastered ... sounds a bit dry straight off the desk. I have a microphone recording too that sounds a bit more lively will put in this mix when get a chance.

Big techno jam. Takes a while to get going but I really like the way this one finishes. I'm writing a live set at the moment and am probably going to start the set with something like the end of this song ;D

hard techno, getting toward psytrance hehe .. but pretty fun i hope. lots of panning lfos
