Hey #fediverse, it's been a while now that I'm looking for this 🔥 #house #track that #pingu likes so much. Really hope that I'm connected to the right bubble of #musicnerds who can help me find the track #id. If anyone knows good #groups that this post should travel to, please do mention them. Thanks!

Continuing #dawless today for another #jamuary2025 #music #track. Using a single sequencer this time, mostly to test my routing / wiring of my #modular #synth setup. Single take straight to 4 track #cassette. This #ambient minimalist piece is called Tranquille, french for tranquil or calm (or even solo, also applicable given i used one sequencer). A TR-606 drum machine complements the System 100m modules. #drummachine #soundcloud #jamuary #modularsynth #eurorack #tape

You can always tell you're the only person listening to a #track on #Tidal (and I guess #Spotify to an extent) when the "Suggested Tracks" -- in other words tracks that Tidal thinks you might also be interested in if you like a certain track -- are basically excepts from your own starred/ favorited track list. I mean, I'm not complaining! They're some of my favorite #songs but it would be nice to maybe get a selection of songs I might not have thought to play.......

Still. Funny. And yes, my musical tastes are quite eclectic. :-)

Continued thread

One particularly weird “instrument” that is used on that #music #track is technically a guitar pedal, the #adrenalinn by Roger Linn (of Linn Drum fame). It is primarily an effect pedal, processing the input using a variety of modulations and fx. It has midi in/out and can send start/stop/midi clock (which i used to sync the #tr606 and #tb303). But on top of that, it also incorporates a drum machine of sorts. I also used that functionality to add variety. #jamuary #synth #midi @music

Another #jamuary #music #track & this time i am going in a different direction. I usually do #techno #electronica #synthwave and #electroacousticmusic but you might not know i recorded many #jazz musicians before covid. This latest #jam answers the question “what would it sound like if i started a Jazz band?”. Not traditional jazz as you would expect. #soundcloud #funk #fusion @music

Today i had a little bit more time so i went to work & recorded the following:

Here is the #music #track I recorded January 1st for #jamuary. Straight 2 stereo recording that would normally be a sketch I would later develop, but here it is, first take. 10 #drum patterns used through & sequenced live. Bass line preprogrammed & live filter tweaks for variation. Pad through looper & melody synth played live on right hand while left hand very busy changing drum patterns, tweaking cutoff and resonance on filter for bass & doing pitch bends. #soundcloud
