Reconstruction

By Ashtom on November 29, 2020 7:23 pm

A freestyle jam with my gear. I went for something energetic first but then added some deeper sounds to bring more mood to the music. It could be a sequel to the tracks "Blooming Again" and "Desol8" that I produced earlier this year.
It is made with the Circuit Mono Station, the Atmegatron both controlled with the Deluge as the main sequencer (but also providing most of the sounds and the beat) then all recorded on the Zoom Livetrack L-12.
It's really fun to add layers and layers of different sounds and rhythms without really knowing where it is going.

Thanks for listening and for commenting. Have an excellent week!

It could easily go for a few layers more.

This has a great groove to it, man. I always find when I add too many different layers I get lost haha. This really works though. It's got a really good feel to it.

But then when one should stop adding layers? A wise person wrote me once to "try experimenting with removing parts (...) and see what comes out of that." wink

Thanks! I'm sometimes anxious to add more layers to a track for this exact same reason. I think not using a DAW and not having a screen to interact with the music helps a lot in that sense.

Usually what comes out of it is a foundation for more layers.
