Jamuary 6th 2022. It must be something I ate…
This was my Day 5 sketch for Jamuary - I ran out of time to post it yesterday! This one is definitely more experimental… awkwardly shifting cross-rhythms, glitching and wonky pitch-bending, with claustrophobic textures adding a sense of unease. It’s a bit more challenging to listen to than what I’d usually make, but it’s important to explore these areas sometimes, as I think it can really inform other work, whilst refreshing the brain! And importantly, I really enjoyed making it.
I recorded my Day 6 sketch this evening - that one is much more at the beautiful end of the spectrum, so I’ll get that posted tomorrow too.
Meantime, peace to all and keep on creating! I look forward to catching up on everyone else’s posts
A short excerpt of a noise jam with the Cocoquantus and Analog Heat. OP-1 is the sound source and is also modulating the Coco’s chaos circuit via an envelope follower.
Was pretty happy with this jam. It’s a bit long but hey tis the season!

So far 6/6. Here’s today’s post (and I’ll post an earlier day’s Cycles jam in a sec)
I’ve used both in jams but for some reason have not combined Digitakt with A4 yet. If you check out my channel: every day has been a different setup.
Day 7. Experimenting with ambient textures and the Akai Force/Korg Minilogue combo.
Eventually worked out how to record ‘free length’ loops on the Force. so recorded a few layers of Minilogue into the force and layered them with live playing over the top. All sounds pass through master effects on the output (tape delay, reverb, granulator x2)
I am really enjoying the way this challenge allows for experimenting with different ideas and techniques and forces me to commit to recording these as well! All good practice even though I have a long way to go having listened to some of the stuff here!!!
Very exciting @cuckoomusic and love the first challenge: can’t wait to try something uplifting for a change
Today was tough but I kept at it - here’s an excerpt of a longer work that I found exciting. Reminds me a little of some of Cat Barbieri’s stuff - not saying it’s anywhere near as good that said!
Manther -> Microcosm with improvisation using the Keystep 37 arpeggiator (pattern mode) - tried to incorporate the Nubass via the Manther’s Ext In but ultimately didn’t quite work out for this session. It’s bound to the amp envelope and inherently quiet so you have to accept less control of amp envelope and oscillator mix/volumes. I think good can come of it though and a rhythmic coherence possible.
So much amazing jams already! Got me motivated to finally record something, so here we go!
Dreadbox Nyx 2 × Empress Echosystem × OT × A4 = Techno
Enjoy!
Some Digitone action with MIDI loop back for extra control! I wish the audio tracks had their own page for modwheel/aftertouch control!
Jam #7. A bass groovy thing with the RYTMII-OB6-Odyssey-Bass & Guitar.
A bit of fun with my new Spaceman Delta II Trem.
Piano and drum duet part deux, this time with acoustic drums. Lots of love for the SiX motivating more experimentation with acoustic instruments
“Mute Mode” jam on DT+M:C
