Day 2 - up and at it early today. Set myself a few ‘restrictions’ this jamuary - I want to upload a jam a day, but challenging myself to use a different bpm each time, spend no more than 20 mins prepping the loop and recording 1 take (well 1 each for instagram and YT at different lengths).
Also going to use the ‘prompts’ from the #Hardware_jams challenge. Today was using the notes from one chord… I think this was supposed to be a restriction, but 3 notes is more than enough for my simple mind!!
Those Moog Maschines make the perfect/playable ‘jamuary’ type set up I think. Makes me wish I still had the SubH and the DFAM (must stop selling things!!)
I grabbed 10minutes in between playing snap with my 7y daughter and giving my 3y son marks out of 10 for his ninja warrior antics on the couch.
DFAM TR8s ‘TAKT and LXR02 … don’t get too close, you might loose an eye, or a face
Also, I’m in! I’m just going to post snippets on insta and leave the full songs for my weekly bandcamp posts. Here’s yesterday: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5edMlp0t1/
I’ll be back at some point after work with today’s.
Happy to have my sister in town for the holiday - we’ve wanted to create music together for a long time. We limited ourselves to 1:30 and spent less than a couple of hours. Enjoy!
What even is a jam? Here’s me forcing myself to take a couple of Syntakt patterns and turn them into a song-like thing. I’m hoping that my shitty knob twiddling makes this jammy enough for Jamuary.
Thanks. I really like the central idea of it, but I’m still at the toddler-in-high-chair stage of Elektron skills. I’ll probably reuse it in the future!
