Gate 6 added - New tracks from the MD / MM

I decided to start using my Soundcloud more as a test-bed for new ideas, rather than a library of cherished sonic high-points, so I deleted all the previous content and decided to start again.

Having carted my MD out to China to join the MM, here’s my first recording out of the reunited boxes. It’s a bit of a stomper in parts, enjoy!:

Really liked this ! Keep it up man. MM + MD such a good combo for techno.

I did the same with my soundcloud around the new year… ditched the old one and made one specifically for live jams and fun. Now I’m posting often and feeling less stressed about perfecting things or “trying too hard”. I realized music should just flow, not be forced.

nicely done !

Yeah, after years of a veering towards “perfecting” I sort of went to the opposite end of the scale and was largely just jamming it out and not pressing record, just having fun, and thinking it wasn’t really worth documenting in any way, shape or form. Now something of a happy medium might have been found. We’ll see!

Thanks for listening!

Here’s the second instalment, apparently getting some dub-tech influences out of my system.
Nothing hugely original, but I did enjoy playing with the Superwave Ensemble + delay

So I can’t completely suppress my melodic bent, it’s what came out, who am I to argue…

Cheers :thup:

I should add that the MM has largely been going through a BigSky for all these tracks, I’m gradually learning that less is more, but sometimes more is just too much to resist.

Another one came through this morning

Nicely done!
