Sunday afternoon improvised Jam. Warts and All. I kept it going as I wanted to keep experimenting and practicing. In a live situation, you'd have to keep going and figure out how to get out of you mistakes. Hopefully nobody really notices.
I did not alter the musical sequences at all, no new variations in melody or rhythm.... more just working on some sound design around Rings and bring parts in and out.
Gear Geek Production Stuff:
A short 2 bar loop off the Radio Music kicks things off filtered through the Ikarie Stereo filter with some minor modulation from Ochd. Not far behind, the TR-8S provides the steady backbone for everything with a steady 4 to the 4 kick for almost the entire piece. Hats and other percussive elements make their way in and out of the jam. I introduce next the 8 Step 2hp Sine Bassline that just continues through pretty much through the entire track holding the groove in a clean simple way.
A breakbeat loop comes in next coming off the Ectocore module where glitches of the loop and some bugged out delay fix do their chaotic business throughout.
Rings comes in with some trippy FM tones coming out of Typhoon for a simple quarter note rhythm and melody. Nothing to original with this, but it has its moments of sonic entertainment.
Braids with Sawtooth Triangle Oscillator Combo come in next with a little ominous entrance piped through the Intellijjel Sealegs Delay and Fog Reverb fx.
Two more parts to go!
The next element to make an entrance in this Jam is a. single Bassbot 303 line with a little knob twiddling in and out. Pairs well with the 2HP Sine Bassline.
The last element introduced is a somber guitar like Lead melody drenched in reverb wash coming off the super cool Plinky synth. I sequenced this part actually in Ableton, fed the MIDI out to one applet in the Plum Audio Ornaments and Crime MIDI app conversion from USB Midi to CV for Pitch and Gate into CV Pitch and Gate in on the Plinky. I haven't really dug in how to create original sequences on the built in sequencer on Plinky yet.
After all the parts have been introduced, I continue to go around the Befaco Eurorack case noodling with things, Bassbot 303 workout and TR-8S bringing Percussion parts in and out and one sub pattern change back and forth.
Basically, I'm just jamming out try to perform something interesting and evolving. I strip things down.. and then build attempt to build it all backup again.
