Sometimes, there's a need for something more experimental, letting loose of (some) structures, letting the instrument play itself more. Not really experimental per se, but I'll get there eventually, still too afraid of letting go of everything. That's a #RandomLoop

On the technical side: I have four tracks recorded on the sampler, two piano takes, similar, but different, and two resonant filter pings, one with a unique tone, only rhythm, the other with rhythm and pitch. Next to this, the #sv1b goes through #RuinaVersio and then #Magneto for some tape goodness. Captured live, triggered the samples recorded and moving parameters on RuinaVersio and Magneto as the track progresses.

HSTR is for Hypnotic Saturated Techno #RandomLoop

Done in under an hour, because I have had too little time to make anything lately. It's my first hour with the #GroundControl sequencer from #Endorphines, I'm in training for a potential live gig in the summer. It's growing on me :)

Bass is coming from the #sv1b through #tanh3 for saturation, drums are from the #QueenOfPentacles and the lead theme is #Beads through #RuinaVersio for grit. Everything is sequenced by #GroundControl and performed live.

Have a listen!

(I'm also giving a try to posting in mp3, instead of opus, in the hope that more people will be able to play it from the browser directly)

Time for some saturated drums. Hope you all had some time to rest somewhat during the holiday season.

Today's #RandomLoop is a story of collaboration between the #OP-1, thanks to a great person from Tampere who provided that exact audio cable in needed, and a new #eurorack module, the #RuinaVersio, who provides the deliciously dirty saturation. There is a bit of glitch added thanks to #Beads too.

Here we go!

NB: I'm still in the process of cleaning up yesterday's recording which is ~15min long, and extracting the good bits. Maybe a full track backed by these beats in the future?
