Financial District || Downtempo (Original)

I came up with the bass line during a run, and then built the track from there. I had Ageispolis by Aphex Twin and Kaini Industries by Boards of Canada in mind while making this. I feel like it's short and that it's missing something, but I feel like it's time to move on to something new. Made almost entirely with stock Ableton 11 sounds and instruments.

Victory Lap || Synthwave (Original)

This year I'm trying to focus more on learning to write and produce original music. I made this largely to apply what I've learned about synthesis from Syntorial. For this track, I imagined what music would play when you win a race in a forgotten Super Nintendo racing game. The picture is AI-generated using DALL-E. The synth sounds were all made using stock Ableton 11 instruments/effects and we...

    Modular is far from “unnecessarily difficult” it’s exactly as difficult as it needs to be in order to allow for the amount of possibilities that modular allows for. If it were full of kind of pre-wired things that are like commonly done or that cater to common techniques then it wouldn’t have the flexibility that modular has and that’s where the beauty and excitement of modular exist.
