Cluster Drone

Yesterday, I played around with my old idea of random and control of music with hardware interface.
So I assigned the volume of 8 notes to the 8 knobs of my Trigger Finger, plus other controls for the filter.
This morning, I listent to it on my MP3 player, it was fresh, though theoritically very dissonant.


Guess what are the notes they are ;-)
(it's an idea that comes from some experience of SonicBrat)

Between the phases : Eric August 3rd 2007

Aaahhhh, I wish I could sleep a moment under the trees of LDT's land ...

But not for now.
Now is between the phases ... between phase II and phase "what?"
So let's have fun with some new (hardware/software) gear.
I purchased DrumSynth plugin for FL Studio because I discovered that some parameters could be tweaked in real-time ...

WEEK 4 : E r i c

Angels of the garden


For this last rendition of the month, I used only the samples provided by Darren and LDT.
At first, I didn't know how to make my way with all these samples (especially mines ;-), but with a nice reverb over the harmonics of bass notes, inspiration comes. I love reverb, you must be knowing this, now.
And I tried not to pitch up/down the samples; they are only sliced, granulized or stretched.
I don't usually make songs in "multi parts" nowadays, I used to do this in my first years of play with FastTrackerII but this commontone song in multi parts is almost novelty.
Though I had some doubts about the idea of this phase II, I think now that it can be a good thing to do this samples exchange but with deeper direction to make a kind of offline jam session between us.

WEEK 3 : Eric [originator]

And voila, here is the tune I made with the samples provided by Darren and LDT. Tempo 115 Key D.
Please note that I use no other samples.
I re-sequenced the drums manually (then quantized) with my TriggerFinger.
I used Morphine VST additive synth to bend the vocal sample.

Plus, I also include a little experiment with some of the samples that I tried to mix like a Oval song ;-)
