Hey guys, I like two share my recent finished work with you. Here is the first of two collections of tracks, I mainly did during social distance time in spring this year. I was looking for new jobs at that period and had quite a lot of time to jam on my machines.
The first album is mainly live takes, all done with one setup, which was OT, A4, DN and toraiz AS-1 at that time.
I am a big afx fan for years, but never dug into rephlex records before this year. Much of what I discovered, was probably very influential on my recent creations.
I didnât put that much time into finalizing it, it mainly resulted out of jams and I mixed most of it before hitting the record button. Which was a nice diversion from my usual approach.
i have some of those takes on my youtube channel as well.
The cover was done by my partner.
The second album is contains more âin the box tracksâ. I will upload it the next few days.
Hope you can give it a listen and maybe get something out of it Cheers
UPDATE:
Finally found some time to upload the other ten tracks.
This collection of tracks originate from the same period (meaning spring âlockdownâ). A few of these tracks were made with the same setup. But most of them were actually done just on my laptop in ableton (two with a Launchpad pro), when I was at my girlfriends place (most of the time) were I had none of my hardware toys with me.
I bought TAL Sampler at that time which is used a lot. Other than that I used Repro 1 and 5, TAL Unolx and Bassline101 and lotâs of samples from mars.
I put those tracks on a separate release, cause they were not as consistent as the tracks on Reconfigurations I. Similar style, but a bit more diverse maybe. Donât know Iâm quite happy with them, they also didnât take much effort. One or two tracks per evening, a bit like jamming in ableton. The session view still makes ableton much more fun to me than any other DAW I tried.
Feels like a jam playground rather than a typical timeline DAW view.
Anyway. Hope you can give it a listen!
Cheers again.
they sounded good to me âŚnice 808/303/pads etc⌠and no very obvious attempt at afx ⌠and no âvery annoying screeching and high pitched pointless bullshitâ which can often occur when going âafxâ .
Thank you. Iâm obviously very influenced but try not to copy anything. And I couldnât - even if I tried to
With these tracks I just tried to capture a vibe, which I love listening to myself. Mainly the choice of sounds, the melodies mainly sound like me I guess (and hope)
Just purchased. Very nice album!
Btw. it sounds quite Rolandish, and the whole time while listening to it, i thought damn he really rocks that MC101, just to find out here now that it is all Elektron and AS1âŚwell done!
thank you! drums were mainly done on the OT with samples from mars
good ear I only discovered recently that I like spring reverbs a lot on many sounds. Never used to use them. I think the one on the OT is totally usable
The mix sounds really good and clean. The composition is dreamy, I like it. The first track gave me Kraftwerk vibes! Nice work!!! Mellow yet driving beats to keep me moving.
thanks I owned a Rytm and a TR8s for some weeks but I sold both and went back on using OT as my main drummer. I just like working with sample chains and slice mode
the A4 filter probably sounds more like a roland filter, but for bass sounds I would generally say the AS1. Itâs perfect for basses.
And itâs all sweet spot, as people say about the sh101 as well
Cheers
