MAssiiivee <3 Superb.
Hehe, “40rds” is my favorite as well
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
Lovely. Thanks for sharing!

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
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
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
Here is a pure ambient track.
Dedicated to my friend Francis. And everyone who embraces Change.
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
Ah listening to this with the blue neon lights on here chilling… must say I can listen to this kind of music all day. Thanks for posting this.

Glad you enjoy this !
Here is a few albums I enjoy listening for chilling moments or while at work:
Deru - 1979
Disasterpeace - Hyper Light Drifter OST
Jogging House - Self
Nils Frahm - All Melody
Jeffre Cantu-Ledesma - Faceless Kiss EP
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II
Nice guy. This EP is gorgeous, really! Jewel carved out of ambient and noise
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
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
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 .
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
And he did the real drums, heavy guitar, bass, as well as a lot of arranging and mixing
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
BTW this is free download, do whatever you want from it dear !
Thanks those riffs need to be sampled on my EPS at 20khz and with more overdrive because there’s never too much overdrive in
