Hehe, “40rds” is my favorite as well :wink:
But I love “Ryan Bells” a lot as well, and H2G2-based “The Answer #44”…
And “Des Fleurs”, but I don’t think I’ve posted it here.

EDIT : here it is

Operator-1.com / Battle #51 : “One minute wonders”
(curated by EdZilla/@edzillamusic)

Instruments used : SH-01a → Empress Reverb → OP-1

Sampled and mixed within OP-1, no further treatment.

Brief can be found here :

I’ve always wondered about your username. I can’t think of another Dalai except the Dalai Lama.

That’s the one. DL is the root for LD…
Either lying as the wise Buddha, or as a Chinese official stating the holy man is not telling the truth. Down is the new up… Go figure :tongue:

I could go for days, but basically this nickname was a blend of my favorite artists in 2010.
Flying Lotus + Gonjasufi → Flying Sufi → Lying Dalai

dalai lama

I am not a religious person, I’ve just always enjoyed Dalai Lama speeches.

I got this infectious groove, I record a quick jam, should definitely work on this further (make it shorter for instance) but can’t find the time…

Still, it gets stuck in my head. I really like it.

Drove to Nantes to sell my Microgranny // met someone great.
Brought some toys with me to properly test the device in a jam session :tongue:

Here is a pure ambient track.
Dedicated to my friend Francis. And everyone who embraces Change.

Sweet! A new @LyingDalai tune! Hooray!

Hehe, thx dear. Yep, it’ been a long time…
For some reason, playing music with my friends from Paula Berthe had been highly sufficient during my 6-months long job-free break.
I have been playing in Nature, or staring at the sea, or in my bed, or at friends’ but recording was not necessary.

And the day I have a new job, I feel the huge appeal from my machines, they shout “PLAY AND RECORD ME” and… here is the fourth take :slight_smile:

It’s been ages since I last took part to an Operator-1 battle !
Here is my entry for Batte #57 “This old synth you never use”.
Shruthi-1 it was, in my case.
With Novation 61SL mkIII as the brain, makes it easier without having to dig in the menus :slight_smile:
Drums are handled by the Rytm and OP-1.
And there are some little bits of Richard Devine’s Sort\Lave album, which is full of interesting little sounds.

As a side note : it’s the first time I program that many trig conditioned ghost notes on the Rytm (mainly for the snare but also on other percussions), and I was really happy with the result, it feels way more organic than my previous beats :smiley:

50th collective composition challenge on Audiofanzine.
I teamed with Jo, and got back to guitar (and a bit of AR and DT) for this track.

Holy crap good guitar chops bro. I might sample that :grin:.

Overall I like the garage rock sound to it. Vocals sound good too. Bring it to the front a little more.

À +

Vocals are Jo’s, I can’t sing that high unfortunately :smiley:
And he did the real drums, heavy guitar, bass, as well as a lot of arranging and mixing :slight_smile:

It’s true that voices could have been a bit more present, I find it really hard to place them right.
But they were not THAT significant to me, I mean it’s not like Bowie is singing how he sold his soul…

Anyway, this track was hard to craft, I got quite some trouble lately and it needed dedication to come up with something decent!

The kind of track that will bring me back a lot of memories :tongue:

Thanks those riffs need to be sampled on my EPS at 20khz and with more overdrive because there’s never too much overdrive in :guitar:
