Painting with sound - a techno exercise

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
  • Try this at home: you take a stable synth riff, control the filter cutoff, and feed it into a series of massive delays & reverb, to set off a beautiful cascade of sound. We'll call this "painting with sound".
    Inspired by requests to analyse Planetary Assault System's sound design strategies, this exercise hopes to make you think more deeply about stability, repetition, timbre, texture, and energy contour, all without ever changing the notes of the synthesizer.

      This channel is indispensable! I've been *tinkering* since FL was Fruity Loops (v 2.8!), and and while I could say I have graduated the more "beginner" subject matter here, I still find value in EVERY video, whether a better understanding of something basic I skimmed over back then, or a new way to look at something simple with many uses.

    I’ve always loved the ‘immersionalist’ (TM) aspect of techno, dropping inside a new reality of texture, light and colour. Feeling the sensations of a wide aural landscape. Glad I’m not the only one. Planetary Assault Systems is a great track to learn from. The next would be Basic Channel - Quadrant Dub.

      I've been completely living in DnB land since the late 90s, picked up a love of house and electro in the mid 2000s, but completely slept on techno until I went to Berlin about ten years ago. I'd only lightly picked it up as a sort of side genre of interest, until the last couple years when I've really come to appreciate the depths techno can take you.
      Any further suggestions for old classics would be much appreciated.
