+ PO-12 funk
Executed on the Octatrack
Mastered on Ableton Live
There’s actually a story behind this track… I’ve been playing at a garage gig last Saturday, and pretty miserably failed all my transitions. Most of all, I had taken the maximum guarantees by using OT Song Mode for the first time in live (hence the failure) and just couldn’t get some guts in the sound. At the end of the night, a bloody DnB DJ just kicked my ego by pointing all my defects, one by one. I just couldn’t do anything but taking it all, knowing he was damn right from A to Z.
This is a track for all people that accept vulnerability and expose themselves to the humbling danger of someone else’s conscient glaze in order to become better.
“Third Portal” is the debut album from Poltergast (my new comrade Nay Seven and I).
The sound is entirely coming from the 3rd improvisation session from Dec. 9th 2021.
My Soundcloud account is full. I’ve reach the limit and can’t upload anymore.
I won’t give SC any more money than I do, so I’m going to create a bandcamp album and offload there my early works…
I was listening to these early tracks, when I found out that the first one of them I’d been created 10 years ago. Looking more closely at the date, it was very exactly 10 years ago!!
It had been made from samples provided by Ableton for a contest, I had used only their samples. And learned a lot.
You had 24 hours maximum between downloading the samples and publishing the track.
It took me 3 hours to compose the track, and 20 hours to get it more or less right (I had no monitors at that time and knew nothing about production).
