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)

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 ;-)

DAY 2 : Eric

Color : Amber-red
Tempo : 132

No beginning, no end.
One note or another, very few preferences. An approach to ambient non-intrusive music.
It could last 4 minutes or 1 hour.
A first real attempt at making live experimentation with electronic gear.

M-AUDIO Trigger Finger used to arrange the track "live", a premiere for me. I understand now that is not as easy as it seems when I see Kraftwerk "live", though they are almost just turning knobs, sliders, and playing some notes, plus singing vocals.
