Eviscerated Anatomy of a Popular Progression

By angellis on February 22, 2024 3:23 am

I was inspired to play around with Drift in Ableton today after listening to last week's track 'Entomology' by lament.config. I fiddled around and made a patch with Drift that had the base tones that I was looking for and routed that out to separate audio tracks. Each audio track had an array of effects controlled by Max For Live LFOs

Fun fact: The midi notes played into drift are the standard pop song 4 chord progression. Fight me.

God damn, the variety of noise you pulled out is incredible and the way you controlled the harsher noise is really impressive.  Very cool

Thanks! Its super fiddly to get those Max for Live MIDI LFOs just right BUT once you do its like an automated vessel of destruction. I'd almost be tempted to map some macros in this project file and take it out as a live performance piece.
Thanks for inspiring me to sit down with Drift!
