I was clearout of the dropbox account the other day and I came across this project I made back in 2016 when I came across my old 4-track tape recorder in storage. I started recording samples of youtube into my SP-202, which was on its last legs and doing an overdub or two with synth apps on an iPad that I would run through a couple of moogerfooger pedals. It was this project that got me back into home recording and eventually into modular and elektron gear. I remember really wishing I had an actual sequencer on the SP-202 and was not familiar enough with iPad apps (was using mostly the old animoog app) yet to figure out how to use it as a substitute entirely. Listening back now, I enjoy the dreamlike quality to the music and the inescapably low fidelity. Some of the samples were kind of on-the nose city pop loops but I think I had just discovered vaporwave the month before, so please forgive me.
My attempt at synthwave with Digitone and Octatrack (single take). Tried a few new things with this one, including SFX for texture and the OT spring reverb. It’s not as velvety/lush as the Dark Reverb, but there’s some character there that can sometimes capture just what you’re going for.
I’m curious, is there any place to drop audio embeds for easy sharing with people beyond Youtube, Soundcloud, or Bandcamp?
Preferably with no additional re-encodes. I want to move eventually to Bandcamp so the idea is to Google Drive style cloud links with a few trusted friends while I work out drafts, but they look extremely ugly to paste in.
I wonder if there’s some sort of overlay I can use for a single set of demos and Github hosted content?
