Rightā€¦

It went a bit electro, but I couldnā€™t think of a decent intro. Then I saw Ross from Friends on the telly (heā€™s not been busy lately) and I got him to bash out one of his keyboard specials and tacked it on to the start.

Pukka.

Excuse mode Consider this a demo, as I recorded it in the lounge in one take with only a handful of samples loaded into my Digitakt and little idea where I was going with it. The beat is from a TR-8 (the clap and snare routed through a polara reverb pedal) and the bass is from the Digitone and a TB-03 because I can.
I recorded it into a stereo track in Ableton with a bit of limiting and compression on the stereo buss.
I havenā€™t even listened to it before posting.

Whereā€™s my prize?

Edit: apologies for not even getting close to the mission brief. Iā€™ll do better next time.

Phewā€¦11 PM here. :stuck_out_tongue:


Only 1 sample from the trailer, loaded in Octatrack, 19 slices, randomized, 1 bar pattern, crossfader only for sound changes.
One take, recorded in Octatrack.

Thanks @konputa , it was very interesting !


I didnā€™t want to use the narratorā€™s voice, not supposed to be in the movie, so nothing much left ! :smile:

Again, the screenshot for the track is perfect.

Damn internet goes down on the very evening I had planned to finish this:roll_eyes:
Using my mobile to upload the track to YouTube (because the SoundCloud app doesnā€™t have that feature, and the file surpassed this forumā€™s attachment limit), I finally got round to it. Couldnā€™t resist doing a fun video once I had Movie Maker open.
DT, M32, Micromonsta, Lexicon MX300 & Joyo od pedal. Itā€™s quite unrehearsed as are most of my track.
Not sure youā€™ll enjoy it as much as I have making the track and video hehe. Thanks so much for the challenge :+1:t2:

@waftlord & @mightlife great job on the tracks!

waftlord, I couldnā€™t find your track on soundcloud for some reason. Iā€™d like to like it and resend it to my followers, is it marked private or something???

This is exciting to see them still coming in. Iā€™m going to enjoy listening to all of these from start to finish.

@mightlife, btw, that is epic of you to resort to a mobile upload due to the internet outage.

Cinematic double feature - All sounds come from Firestarter except drums. Sp404sx, Maschine Mk3, Analog Heat (only Elektron I have :confused: Mostly made in 404sx, but ran out of time, used Mk3 to speed things up today after work. 130 bpmā€¦ vinyl sim over top to give it an older sound.

@Sharris, wow, that vibe. Loving the way you played with the stereo sound stage using instrumentation that reminds one of flutes with trip hop Tuvan throat singing. Catchy as hell.
