Locking on sinewaves

This morning, took some moments of calm (or almost) in the Montsouris park to experiment a track on my Palm TX with simple sine waves and buffer lock effect.
The result is here, experimented/tweaked live on the Palm plugged into my EHX tube preamp.

The first track is harsher than the second one, more melodic. If you can't stand the listening on the first, please go directly to the second. Don't be afraid of that noise ;-)

Don't try to adjust your speaker system, the glitches are "normal".

DAY 26 : Eric

"How much time did you take for composing Rage Hard ?"
"About five minutes."

DAY 23 : Eric

Tempo : 100
Color : steel green

I managed to communicate with my Monome40h, for now it's only under Max/Msp, and with its the 40h_64step application developped by Monome team, that takes 7 samples wich are triggered by the Monome.
I all made this afternoon, recording guitar parts with AmbiLoop first, then sequeced them with Max/Msp and Monome.
Actually, I should have worked more on the samples, and use slices of samples instead of whole samples to really make textures.
This was my first attempt, but yet exciting; it would be better next time.

DAY 21 : Eric

Le jardin secret


Tempo : 134
Color : green and marble

I wanted to visit the garden, too.
Thanx Sonic ;-)

DAY 20 : Eric

J'ai besoin de rêves.
Between sweet warm and fresh cold.
I need to make dreams.


A simple tune made with only my guitar, an automatic volume pedal (the SV2, since my regular volume pedal seems to now make cracks :-( I should buy an optical one), and delay on FL-Studio, and then just few cuts on the track.
Using an A/B box is quite useful for me : I can rehearse/preview the notes on another amp (for instance my bass amp (yes !)) while the loop/drone is running, so I didn't make false notes ;-)

DAY 17 : Eric (2)

Tempo : N/A
Color : steel green

One of my favourite "exercise" and approach to ambiance, and one of the simplest :
here, 5 notes, randomly modulated in amplitude, and injected to a phaser followed by a chorus, for a feeling of floating in the air over a city of the future with only calm and serenity in the mind.
My Technopia variations are inspired by an old computer graphics video "Welcome to technopia" seen at Imagina.

One day, I'll make a one hour version to be burnt on a CD for sleeping.

DAY 17 : Eric

Tempo : 120BPM
Colour : purple

Recently, in the town where I grow, I walked and smelt the odor of "betterave" from the sugar factory.
It surrounds you in big parts of the town, a strange mix between chocolate and "gruyere" cheese !
At first, it is very attractive,
but then, it becomes disgusting.
It reminds me much souvenirs from my youth that I spent here.
