Marco HamersmaToothbrush AlarmI thought it might be fun to make a fancy alarm sound, so I made this tooth-brushing alarm. Now I feel guilty for snoozing it.
Sometimes, brushing teeth in the morning is one of these things that gets forgotten or delayed because of work, halfway-drunk coffee, or other causes.2022-05-1600 minMarco Hamersma25For a while I've been playing some imrovised ambient guitar music for myself and recording it.

Marco HamersmaGenerative Music Experiment, version 3An experiment in creating a generative music system, inspired by some of Brian Eno's works. Especially the album Reflection and the apps he made in collaboration with Peter Chilvers.

What can I say, I played a bit with Ableton's follow actions to automate some parts of the song. I used a lot of weird automation. I don't know what I was doing.
The bass is not real, it's just a regular guitar (Pitched down, I think). I have a bass guitar, but it's on another continent 😢2018-04-1305 minMarco HamersmaSwirliesAnother track I worked on recently, but never really “finished” to my satisfaction.

Marco HamersmaGenerative Music Experiment, version 2A new iteration on https://soundcloud.com/marcohamersma/generative-music.
This time around, the tempo is a slower and the main instrument is a bit more pleasant. The next step is to add more instruments, so there is a bit more atmosphere without it getting too crowded.

I've tried similar things like this many times the last 10 years or so, but I never really got this far. There's still plenty of things I want to tweak, but this current state sounds nice and I wanted to share it.

Marco HamersmaAir TravelFirst song with a real instrument in a long time. I had some latency issues while recording, but I think I sorted that out.
Inspired by regularly messing around with with a looper and lots or reverb, post-rock and other stuff.
