How did I miss this? I’m going to try and jump on this tomorrow. If you don’t hear back from me, I’m either dead or still making embarrassingly shit music.

Dang, that month flew by.
Total creative slump as well…

Snuck this one out tonight. An extension of a few ideas from a Deluge couch session.

Delay from Matriarch and Bluebox. Minimal arrangement, fading in and out parts using the Deluge song view and SiX. Recorded into H2N with (of course) no post-processing.

That was the bees knees’ bees knees. Excellent.

Happened what happened.

Jamming on Digitone + Octatrack

No thinking, no planning
No editing, no mixing
Only live playing and silly things.

Gore tek®

Edit: track disqualified, I pushed the no-thinking instruction too far and forgot the no-reverb rule.

hopefully this works, I can change it from private if needed. Everything mixed live but I did use a hard limiter in my recording program to just get the levels up to more normal levels with out worrying about clipping… which is maybe slightly cheating or something.

This is all done in one take in Reaktor with its built in recorder. There is reverb on the track, but I built it myself with lots and lots of delays and filters, so I think that gets a pass. 100% homebrew sequencers, synths, fx and dynamics processors

Soundcloud is murdering the high end on this unfortunately

A lot of cool tracks in this challenge. I’m bummed I didn’t see this before today or I would have taken a stab at it. Oh well, there’s always the next one.

Just make one anyway… art of not giving a shit.
Post it here, bollocks to the deadline.

Given that I haven’t even started mine yet I’m happy to push the deadline back a bit.

I would sheepishly raise my hand and ask for an extension on my assignment, Teach…
The dead people at the cemetery ate my homework…
But dont do it on my account… i had the time and failed to complete the assignment…
I would love to contribute though…

I have to redo my track, I forgot the reverb detail and might have used it while unctrl-alling… (relistening: it’s actually everywhere!)
So I’m all for an extension too.

At least I made it clear that thinking was not part of the process!
