Elektron..... another body murdered

https://social.trom.tf/display/dbc8dc44-1169-d65f-9f8b-417170298414

VERY few outside those that have caught me around the Praxis Guitars workshop/studio would know......
far more than anything else, i listen to "ambient" (just totally beatless "music"... if one cares to call such "music").
Currently, there's this (timbre/sound) patch I made over a week ago now, and while I've had breaks from it, for literal hours at a time, all I've been listening to is a single, all be it evolving in timbre, sustained chord from it.
Working to it, reading to it, listening to lectures over it, going to sleep to it.....

I do such A LOT....
Develop some timbre/sound, then simply hit a single note or chord, and then that's it....
I'm just listening to that single sustained sound for hours.... sometimes even days.

Music.... the process or the product?

Pretty sure I spend more time on sound design, exploratory "Noise Architecture" ventures as it were, just exploring sound and the perceived spaces in-between, than I do actually writing or performing "music" as most would call it.
In that way, the majority of my listening time has little to nothing to do with "music", and while it does hold a creative relation, it really doesn't even sound much like any of the "music" I've ever released or publicly performed.
There's a product of the process that frequently hits public, but personal preference and time devotion is toward the process and not dwelling on the product. The process is always alive and dynamic, the product, even when at it's best, is always static..... even dead meat is more alive. https://friendica.feneas.org/display/76158462-1360-e32e-0160-111359585769

I DO NOT ENDORSE YOUR USE OF SUPERSAWS

Why are there so many samples of chords?

Relative to the more "traditional" waveshapes, I've long been a fan of sample based Osc.
Much more complex wave shapes for oscillator use readily available and assured stable tuning to boot.
But I've never understood having samples of "chords"......
It ruins being able to use the sample as an osc that can be played across the entire range and locks one into a world of playing in 5ths, 9ths, and such things.
What's the point?

Deep Thoughts.....

last checked, poverty was more deadly than any corona....
then in the name of corona, poverty was spread even more
not meaning to imply doing one thing or another about corona
Other than as long as community well being and health are of concern
may be a good idea to start addressing communal issues such as poverty
over just pouring out more corona for all the dead homeboys and homegirls https://friendica.feneas.org/display/76158462-1260-61d3-3ccf-1e9576967058

One question has been hounding my mind like no other....

"What's an oscillator?"
The more I consider the question, the more it's been reshaping not only my approach to synthesis and sound design, but how I consider and approach meaning to the world, space, life, and even consciousness itself. https://friendica.feneas.org/display/76158462-1360-4e4a-25f0-894713805524

You over there, STFU!

Seem to have developed a real knack for posing taboo thoughts on GearSlutz (a major music production forum).
find this troublesome.... largely in that haven't stepped outside the bounds of topics related to music, music culture, or music production.
Somehow it's like there exist a rapidly growing culture, that along with other things I don't understand, is developing such notions as musical "thought crime".
As Iggy Pop might say....
"You can't do that....."

Deep Thoughts

It wasn't so much that the Eloi were at all born inherently evil
as much as they were just vrily Well trained in a program of materialism, money for nothing with chicks for free, and not considering much beyond themselves other than entertainment.
