blortblort- unbuildable chair (excerpt)

[blortblort]

unbuildable chair-

started from exploring Dr Chacal's Voyager presets ...there are three voyagers with (minorly tweaked) Chacal presets in this. Voyager is a going to be getting more attention from me. what an excellent synth!
the piece itself is an excerpt (saved from the cutting room floor again by Benedict's Preroll recorder) from a large thingy I'm slowly working at...hopefully.
anyway- I listened back to this and thought it groovy enough to post
The drums are 3 layers thick:
layer 1 = one track (in Live6) comprised of 4 different loops from Nick's breakbeat cafe collection...great stuff, many you already have or have heard, but to have them all pretty much lined up and ready to go with minimal fuss is worth the 10bucks he asks for the collection. I digress...
the 4 loops/clips have short and varied launch timings
they're being affected by a Live fx rack with 5 different fx (beat repeat, Livecut, dblue's Glitch and some of these run thru the elusive DistBit) all set differently, all 5 parallel chains being 'played/swept' from one chain blending to the next...
layer 2 = nice kick/snare combo loop from the soniccouture abstrakt Breaks (unlinked looping assigned to the volume envelope on this loop to open it up a bit and provide for evolution/non static repetitions)
layer 3 = very similar set to layer 2: nice strange precussion loop from the soniccouture abstrakt Breaks (unlinked looping assigned to the volume envelope on this loop to open it up a bit and provide for evolution/non static repetitions)
I sort of created and "ending"
used soundforge and DubStation to do that.
jeeez...took a helluva lot longer to 'splain what I did than it did to do!

enjoy it while driving

So much depth to this, a very full sounding piece. Really, really like this, blortblort.

Interesting process you describe for it's production. I learn as much in the Music Cafe forum as I do in the Music Theory forum.

Thanks for the music, 'twas delicious.
Keep 'em coming.

thanks bobsled! I love doing this sort of stuff, and these days it's almost too easy with all the extremely cool tools! Beats the hell out of spending 20hrs on something to only have a full minute edited by hand...but even hand editing is faster these days than it was in the ACID 2.0 days of yore.

long and short of it is that it's really easy to get to the point where the "statistic density" of the piece is simply ridiculous. I tried to make sure it was dense but groovy...again- glad ya liked it.

and yes- I'd like to make it longer with a bobsled-esque middle part or something... maybe end it up with a polka section... the music of my people, ya know...
but for now- it'll air out some... my head is too tired of it for now

You funky, funky man you! That was a blast!!

unlinked looping

Isn't that great?

[blortblort]

thanks, polyslax!
yes- between unlinked clip envelopes, launch behavior manipulations, and the new rack setups and controls in LIVE... that thing just blows me away.
sure there are some improvement areas (side chain routing, clips for send fx, MIDI signal routing, etc) but for me- LIVE is still the go-to host.

thanks for listening....jeez, man! when do you have the time? I still have 4 p-slax tunes (...that I know of...) yet to even listen to... me getting slaaaack

thanks for listening....jeez, man! when do you have the time?

Did I mention I don't sleep? Seriously, 3-5 hours per night is what I'm getting now. This is not insomnia, I should stress. Basically, I'd rather be doing music than sleeping.

It's all good brutha. I know time is precious.

Hot. This is a smart track, dude. Interesting and original mix, too. Nice gate and drum work.
