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)

DAY 26 : Eric

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

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 16 : Eric

Tempo : 113
Color : dark brown

The story so far :
At first attempt, this song was not inspiring... not enough.
Strangely, when I tried to sequence it 'live", I made a mistake by triggering twice the pattern of one the two drone sounds, so it gives a "surimpression" of sound (sound on sound), the same sound... Finally, instead of considering this as a mistake, I managed to listen to the result with other hears and then I fall in love with this little mistake.
By the way, since I have no means to listen to it with a regular hi-fi system here, but only a Technic headphone, hope it will be ok for your listening (it seems there is too much basses...)
Now, I probably try to reproduce it but in better way.
For this experimentation, I used only old Russian software emulation plugins. Don't ask me why.

DAY 9 : Eric

Dreamcloud

Tempo : 136BPM
Colour : purple over black

This morning, I had an music idea, some notes coming from my awaking state of mind.
I put them down on FL Studio. I tried to finalize this idea this afternoon ... but I lack of time. Maybe I'll developp this idea outside CommonTone frame.
