Etude for hangover and construction noises (Elektron Digitakt) #jamuary2023
It's #jamuary!
Here is my first entry. I'm not sure I can keep it up for 31 days straight, since it takes way longer to set up, edit and upload - the boring part - than it takes to make the music. Maybe I can make it easier for myself little by little. Who knows... It's january 1st, and it might just be the hangover talking.
Happy new year

So here's the thing... A while ago, I bought a beat-up old zither for 40 euros, as a prop for my D&D character. That character had an early retirement, however, so for the past 2 years, I've had no use for this instrument... It's just been hanging there on my wall with all its rusty, impossible-to-tune strings. Laughing at me. I thought I'd at least make a little music with it, and decided to a...

"So what have you been up to today, Porous Moon?" Well... I struck a glass bowl multiple times with a piece of celery (by far the best sounding vegetable in my fridge), then fed it into a granular patch on the @CritterAndGuitari Organelle M, added some delay, and recorded it straight to tape... That's more or less it. Oh, and I added a synth part, but I couldn't get it in tune with the bowl, so...

Jamming out and trying to find different sounds with the West Pest from Cre8audio, with a little help from a few pedals and some Valhalla reverb. Such a fun little synth, and my first taste of wave folding/west coast synthesis. Catalinbread Merkin Fuzz Electro Harmonix White Finger Boss DD-20 Boss looper

I'm learning the Digitakt slowly and steadily by transcribing the original masters of sampling. I made this cover using only simple waveforms as sound sources, which was quite a challenge. The overdriven tape always helps, though. This little piece, Dance from Noah by Delia Derbyshire, could perhaps be the first instance of 4-to-the-floor electronic dance music, since this was produced in 1963 ...

    This is hands down the best demo of the West Pest I have seen, and just an incredible song. People had mentioned it to me as a recommendation, and I thought I didn’t like the sound, until I heard this. I listen to this song on loop. It is the reason I decided to get one to play around with; the sounds you evoke are incredible, and so richly explored.

    The more I learn about cre8audio the more I want a west pest synth or an East Beast to help me get started in building my own eurorack modular synth. I am impressed with what you can do with this. I am learning to build musical instruments like canjos, cigar box guitars, and cigar box violins. I also want to get started with my own eurorack modular synth. To that end I am looking into getting a cre8audio west pest synth. On the Yanni album “Optimystique”, track 1 is "The Sphynx", there is a pulsing 'chopper' effect, that opens the track. ua-cam.com/video/MPHg2x3t5GQ/v-deo.html I know it is effectively a Tremolo effect or an LFO controlling a VCA. Even though I have never done this myself. One of my goals in setting up a is to make myself engine sounds for model steampunk airships. Do you think the cre8audio west pest synth would be able to do such effects?

    • @porousmoon1511
      @porousmoon1511 8 місяців тому

      Hmm. I guess to make that helicopter sound, you would need to modulate some noise? The West pest has a noise generator, but it doesn't work so well, as a little bit of the oscillator always bleeds through, so there's always a clear note in there...

    • @porousmoon1511
      @porousmoon1511 Рік тому

      Thank you! I can't remember exactly, but by the looks of it, it is synced to the internal clock, and sending quarter notes to the dynamcs controller gate in.

      I don't know... It takes a looooong, frustrating time to get it in tune. I'm not sure I have the willpower to do that again...

    Sweet. I don't think it the West Pest doing tunes. Can I ask what the DD20 is doing here? Adding delay? I miss mine. Plugged it into the wrong power supply and fried it.

    • @porousmoon1511
      @porousmoon1511 2 роки тому

      Thank you so much! The DD-20 is adding pitch-modulated delays in stereo, while the RC-3 does the looping. The lead sound towards the end was achieved with some fuzz from the Catalinbread Merkin Fuzz. I'm sorry to hear about your DD-20. I've made the same mistake before with a couple of my pedals. Sucks when that happens!

      @@porousmoon1511 Cheers. . . I’m a sort of a beginner too… I bought the West Pest a couple of weeks ago, it’s my first module to fit into the Arturia RackBrute that I’ve had for about 9 months but haven’t even opened the box it’s in yet coz as well as slowly understanding modular synthesis the cost of modular gear is a bit inhibiting for me at the moment. I bought a Minibrute 2s (second hand) earlier this year, it’s a great machine for learning modular and it has a brilliant sequencer. Nice that you’re honouring the work of Delia Derbyshire, a great inspiration, I watched a documentary about her last year. Have fun with your sonic exploration. : )

      @@FUNKINETIKMB2S is a fantastic machine and, like you, was my entry into the world of modular a few years ago. I’ve expanded a bit these days, also with a RackBrute but the MB2S still forms the central hub of my set up. Also, I just got a West Pest yesterday and it’s a fantastic wee thing and pairs excellently with the MB2S so I urge thee to get them fired up and get patching! Muchos fun awaits…
