Patch’n up boxes and hitting record. One take record chaos theory. #drums #improv #drumlife #pedals…
Back Story: Ended up with this @Sequential DrumTraks byway of a back-alley/CL barter. After sampling the beast I figured I should get at least one track out of it “live” before it leaves my possession and finds its forever home. It’s hard not to be pulled into an 80’s direction with that box. Not sad about that. The Pro 3 & Prophet X seemed like the obvious DrumTraks companions, and some drum & guitar improv sprinkled about. With some Josh Silver channeling here and there.
It’s been some time since the last “One & One” experiment. On the slab this time around is the @korg MS-20 FS. The left channel is a DI from the synth with some upcoming [redacted] delay. The right channel is the synth via a 6505/mic’d cab for some gnarling bite. Played around with some tape delay on the kit, and the distorted assault is via the Analog Heat. Fun was had.
So I flung the spaghetti at the wall & hit rec. Well, truthfully the drum take is a china cymbal test. @don_k_gunn sent me the hybrid and 10″ that I ended up stacking. I pulled out my other available china options and trashed away. The screeching siren song of synth noise is a combination of noodling on a Prophet X with a healthy amount of its Bit Hack/Decimate, too fun. An SEM via a HOOF “big muff” adding some sub pushing low end, & a DSP “fail” example stollen from @chris.randall posted in a group geek chat loaded up into the Octa. In conclusion, I love chinas.
What started out as a couple of Mic/Interface tests turned into this experimental collage of noises. Mic test-wise, I moved the 414 EB’s back to Overhead duty on the Kit. H47 on Kick reso and Guitar, with u195’s on Floors. Also decided to go the “Hard route” & dust off some hardware to create a Shimmer verb with an H3500+Lexican 200. Bassline is covered by the Ole Moog RME, with some drum sequencing on the Octatrack. Shot some video here and there and ended up with what looks like a gear fap session. Yeah well.
