Quarantine Experiment Four.

Some more drum improv. Experimenting with more setups, & more synth noodling. This time around decided to run the SEM through an amp or two. It puts a smile on my face hearing that crunch. I might have had a tom fail at the end, I took it as a cue to stop fucking around, and end this nonsense. : : : : ;; : : : #drums #synths #delay #qdrums #elektron #analog4 #drumlife #recording #microphones #experimentalsound #drummers #cymbals #creatingmusic #experimentalmusic #Distortion #sounddesign #Darkmusic #Heavymusic #electronicmusicproduction #electronicmusic #musicproduction #musicflow #creatingmusic #studiojam #liveelectronicmusic #ipadmusic #iosmusic #synth #experimental #industrial

Quarantine Experiment Two.

What the world inside my head is hearing this particular evening. The iPad is playing any ole random news feed, while the SEM VCA chops it into gated segments. Some delay for rhythmic inspiration, & Melancholy improv Rhodes fills out the rest. : : : : : : : : : : :: : : : : : : . . #Distortion #rhodes #experimentalsound #sounddesign #experimentalmusic #Darkmusic #Heavymusic #electronicmusicproduction #electronicmusic #musicproduction #studioproduction #musicflow #creatingmusic #studiojam #liveelectronicmusic #ipadmusic #iosmusic #synth #experimental #distortion #heavy #atmosphere #experimentalmusic #creatingmusic #industrial #electronicmusicproduction #electronicmusic #musicproduction

Bodhran and Pad

Ever wonder what an iPad, Bodhran, & wine sounds like? Of course not, well here you go. (Not iPad/phone friendly, it’s a bit sub-lowtastic) I’m always trying to find a balance between my worlds & interests. It never really works but keeps things interesting. : : : : : : : : : : : : : #Bodhran #iosmusic #synth #experimental #distortion #atmosphere #synth #experimentalsound #sounddesign #experimentalmusic #creatingmusic #lofi #electronicmusic #experimentalmusic #Darkmusic #electronicmusicproduction #electronicmusic #musicproduction #musicflow

SEM ‘n Dist

Some evening distorted synth sound design/self-prescribed Sonic therapy. The SEM is hands-down one of my favorite analog voices, paired with the DS-1 is pure screaming fun. I’ve been meaning to spend some more time with the carbon sequencer, so I did. I’ve never tried using it for polyrhythmic drum patterns, it did the job well. : : : : : : : : : : : : : #SEM #DS-1 #elektron #experimental #distortion #heavy #atmosphere #synth #experimentalsound #sounddesign #experimentalmusic #creatingmusic #lofi #electronicmusic #experimentalmusic #Darkmusic #industrial #Heavymusic #electronicmusicproduction #electronicmusic #musicproduction #musicflow

Pianobook Experiment – (Prophet X + Drums)

I just found out about the “Pianobook collective sample project” and was inspired by the “The 9000ft Piano” available for the Prophet X. Downloaded and made this little improv noodle. I tracked the drums last month as a slow tempo experiment 48/96 bpm. So I took the opportunity to abuse the @audioscapeaudio D-Comp/Buss compressors. I might Just work this experiment into a track. : : : : : : : : . . #Distortion #piano #audioscape #drums #ProphetX #experimentalsound #sounddesign #experimentalmusic #Darkmusic #doom #Heavymusic #electronicmusicproduction #electronicmusic #musicproduction #musicflow #creatingmusic #studiojam #studioproduction #pianobook

Keplinger Stainless Steel Ride

For those that know me, know I have a somewhat cult status obsession with @keplingerdrums drums. My Goto snare has been a made to order 13″ stainless for some time now. I saw @revival_drum_shop post a Keplinger Stainless Steel 23″ Ride and just had to see what it brings to the table. I’m in a trashy cymbal phase, & I’m not at all disappointed. : : : : : ;; : : :

Rhodes+Boxes “easy-mode”

Wrapping up this day with a little ambient Rhodes+Boxes #SonicTherapy. Or as @chris.randall says some “easy-mode”.

Ambient Drum / Room Mic Experiment

I’ve been meaning to set up various ambient mics around this facility for some time now (19 years or so). I have some drum tracking lined up to record and finally got around to giving this a go beforehand. I set up a basic Kick/Snare/Hat kit and six different mic locations. Some more successful than others. The video cuts between the mic setups to showcase the results.

What location do you prefer?

“Live in Studio”

Got together with the @androidlust crew for a “Live in Studio” performance. I love being able to experiment with non-standard setups. Used a minimal setup based around kick/snare/hat with a T-Shirt dampened floor tom and ching-ring. “No drum samples harmed in this recording!” Full video & Track is available via YouTube & Bandcamp. Links below. “androidlust
